New Toy

Posted by ArmedGeek on Saturday, August 8, 2009 in Gadgets, Microcontrollers

I got a new toy in the mail.
bumble-b
It is a breakout board for Atmel’s at90usb162 microcontroller, along with supporting hardware and USB connector.

You can program Bumble-B without any special hardware and using entirely free and open source software from Atmel and the AVR community.

You can find it at Fletchtronics.net. Tell him ArmedGeek sent you and he might write “Bomb Parts” on the package before he mails it.

Booze of the Week

Posted by ArmedGeek on Saturday, August 8, 2009 in BOTW

This week I’m drinking Jim Beam.

whisky_jim_beam

Straight: Not bad, but harsher than Jack Daniels
7up: I really didn’t like this one. 7up did nothing for the Jim Beam and the Jim Beam worsened the taste of the 7up.
Ginger Ale: Pretty damned good.
Coke: eh, not bad not great.

All in all, I have to go with Ginger Ale.
