The Beginning?
Well, I’ve had a week off – and you know what? I miss the whole photo-a-day thing. Or at least, I miss having something to think about on the way to/from work, in the tea room, and all that.
So. I have a plan!
52 projects, in 52 weeks.
2009 is to be the year that I finish all those little things I started work on. It’s going to be the year that I build the “RS232 over tin-cans-and-string” thing, the year I build that ring flash out of disposable cameras, the year that I build a small scale AM transmitter so that I can tune the valve radio in my kitchen to the 1950s…
The rules:
- I have 52 weeks to complete 52 projects.
- Photos will be taken, build notes will be written up, software will be published.
- While I aim to average a project a week, completing two projects in a week then taking a week off is allowable
- Progress will be reported when it’s available, even if the project is as yet unfinished.
I’ll be maintaining a page which lists (and numbers) the projects, with links to the blog articles describing progress. Wish me luck!
Wow. Good plan.
GOOD LUCK!
Nice idea, a cross between make and hackit :)
make/hackit/instructibles/hackaday/diy photography/… all sorts of inspiration for this one :-)
Congratulations on ending your last (52 week) project, and good luck for your new endeavor!
Crikey. Now there’s a yardstick to beat yourself with. Well done on PAD, and good luck with this one!
zoiks! This promises to be really great.. for us, your public at least… good luck!
Great plan and well done with the 365, good luck with the 52/52.
I predict an Arduino may be purchased soon. Useful for drip’s and many projects: http://www.flickr.com/photos/drewandmithi/sets/72157609651986142/
Heh! I’ve already got an arduino – and was looking for ideas for its next use. Hmm.
*adds miscellaneous laser bits to shopping list*
Edit: Oh, and nice drop photos! When I get home I need to remember to add your flickr feed to my feed reader :-)
Good luck… Looking forward to RS232 over tin can and string! :)
Well Paul, ambitious I must say though the best of luck :)
Andy and I are particually looking forward to RS232 over tin cans and string!
