I am arduinoing.
It feels awesome. Ask anyone who’s been playing with it.
It kind of links to the feelings of hope I had when I first started programming. It’s been a long time, but when I was thirteen, fourteen, I know I wanted to make things. I wanted to go embedded. But then, algorithms, networks and databases came along, and, you know.. they are appealing, and you can go webbing with them, and they give jobs, etc.
But when you work with the process concept-design-code your whole life, you get used to thinking of solutions that will deliver on a screen, through software.. On a computer or on a phone.
Now I feel like I am allowed to think objects. I am free to think of tangible. It is so thrilling.
This is a reminder to self, so I will always remember the feeling of making my code move/blink/buzz/turn/sense/go.
