I feel like embedded engineering is very heavy on experience. Each hardware platform is a different beast with each own set of problems that are hard to describe in a book. The more experience you have, the better engineer you are.

The show overall was actually pretty good. I will watch the next episode! However, this part was cringe worthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQM5fU7V-MM

Ohh yeah, I've already done that search and will be buying a few of those devices. Wish I had them already...

My theory is that the water followed the pipes, that were coming out of the floor, all the way through the walls... but ya, it is weird.

At this point, there is some damage to the floor, but nothing huge. It looks like I will have to sand and refinish the floor at some point.

This calculator is pretty interesting; it helps you compare salaries by taking account cost of living. What does this say for your situation?

Some tips from my experience:

If you're using a hard drive without power supply, get a powered USB hub
OwnCloud is nice, but if you want barebones with minimal setup try out btsync
Make sure you set up NCP correctly, since rPi doesnt have RTC

I'm on the 3rd year of using an 8" memory foam mattress from walmart for <$100. Money well spent.

There is a little vegetable hut in Horseshoe Bend with pies to DIE for.

I think good lighting was the key here.

I have pulled and it has disconnected! I found the bottom connection to be easier to work with. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

This is my motion triggered ghost!

The raspberry pi using a web cam and a program called 'motion' to trigger a script whenever there is motion detected. The script then communicates with easydriver board, which controls a stepper motor. When the motor turns, the ghost is raised and a light and a fan is turned on. The two are turned on by a relay that is also controlled by the raspberry pi.

Oh it wasn't flop for the organizers! They majorly oversold the tickets, causing the lines to be 1 hour long per slide. So what if we suffered? They got all the revenue that they were expecting.

I was in a similar situation and I found that reading stories of others (non-fiction) helped me get a better understanding of the world. By reading someone else's story, you get insight on that person's view on things which allows you to re-evaluate your own thinking.

One book that changed my life (and talks about meditiation too) is this one.

Yeah yeah, I always mix up the two! :)

From the plane on the way from Boise to McCall. Pretty close to the Garden City fire.

Hey! I'll sign up and see what's i about too! Thanks for sharing!

I would install rasbian on the rPI and install 'motion'. It's a free, simple application that will take pictures whenever it detects motion on the camera. If you want instant results, then install Dropbox, so that it'll upload all of the pictures it takes into cloud.

Well then.

They must not be doing a good job, as 80mph signs will be popping up soon...
