    Hey Martin, that's awesome! I look forward to meeting you in person.

    On a related note, my wife and I just returned from Costco and bought a whole bunch of food, drinks, and snacks. Plus some other surprises. :)

    On a related, related note. If anyone has stuff to sell or trade or give away make sure you bring it. This is going to be heck of a fun expo!

    Great idea! It will be a chance to unload all of those MCU boards I've bought over the years but never had time to use. :-)

    Reproduce action to control a LadyBird quadcopter and win a fistful of motors! Doesn't matter if you're good, bad, or ugly. :)

    Dave, Do we have Wi-Fi access in the Club House?

    Looks like Bean will not be able to attend.

    Should I bring my DE0-Nano running the P1 Verilog code that Parallax just released?

    Remember, Boston streets were laid out by the cows...

    That explains Boston streets really well (laughing). I avoid driving in Boston at all cost, but, it's exciting to be there if you leave the car behind (full disclosure - I live in the woods in New Hampshire so am not entitled to an opinion)..

    Boston is a great town, I've been there four times to run the marathon. Wish I was there for the Expo this weekend. Have a great time, David, Jim & all. Post some pics & vids when you can.

    The guys at the Expo wanted to see some of the work I did. Specifically, the FireFly exibit.

    Found new stuff on my contractor's website:

    Beau's Fireflies are on the first page.

    That was from Rainbow Babies Children Hospital in Cleveland, OH.

    Anything to make kids smile and have fun. That's our motto.

    Beautiful work! You do indeed have the best job in the world and apparently do it quite well! :-)

    That's really great! I would love being there. On a slightly related note, did you ever see a show called "Monster House"? They would remodel a house into some kind of theme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_House_(U.S._TV_series)

    Jim, This is really cool! I had no idea you had one of the fun jobs!! (I just thought Prallaxians and erco had those!)

    We've taken my daughter to Rainbow a few times and the things like this they have built make the experience more pleasant. My favorite is the 'Rube Goldberg" marble machine they have in what I guess is best describe as the main lobby. I can stand and watch that thing run for hours.

    You have a great motto!!

    I have spent wwwaaayyy tooo much time watching that...until I heard...BACK TO WORK! :)

    BTW I forgot to mention here that the three fire flies in the Mason jars are powered by a Propeller Proto Board, ( cut down to a nice circle).
