It’s been a while since you’ve had to put up with a geeky post, so here you go!  Last spring I got an Arduino to play around with.  It’s a neat little microcontroller that you can create all sorts of cool electronics projects with.  See what I mean?  Life got in the way and I put it aside for a few months.  I picked it up yesterday and began working on learning some of its tricks.  Today I made an email checker flag.  What is that?  Well, it’s a little flag that raises any time you get a new email.  I modified some code from this guy’s project and slapped on an old servo from Ricky.  Here it is in action!

Yes, I know I’m a dork, but I’m one of the cooler dorks.  I put a couple more pics on Flickr.
