Oatmeal Muffins Soak for 15 minutes 1 cup oats 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk Add 1 egg ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup melted butter 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp baking soda Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes These muffins are THE MOST DELICIOUS CREATIONS OF BREAD I HAVE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH!!!  My go-to recipe for over a decade.

I knotted up the + LED and LilyPad port connections before class. All of my leds turned on, and are sitting there, on.  :/  my program is so simple, it is flawless!  (apparently not.)  But I know that, last week, with one alligator clip, I totes got different readings on my lovely, crunch sensors (they are inside the sleeves). maybe it is a mis-sew on my circuit. that could be a problem later. Straightened it out, still solid LEDs. In case things were touching that ought not to be, I put on my sweater.  The only times the lights go OFF is when they are pressed on the foil beneath them.  As discovered by my curious work partner.  Pressed...  hmmmm.  Well, never mind that now!   *POP* across my shoulders.  well, that's not good.  I ripped my left sleeve line trying to stretch it out to tighten, just in case that first pop wasn't a rip.  They sounded similar.  LED's still on. I updated my sketch/program to turn the leds off no matter WHAT the level of the

wow.  so, I had an error about having a ; after a function().  I taking it off revealed more errors, but I thought they meant it belonged there.  no, there were just more ; missing after my light commands. last error?  it WANTED a ; after else ___()!  go figure. I was doing this on my phone.  My clutch Computer Science teacher helped show me the myriad errors for what they were. ON MY PHONE!!! how, you may ask?  There are totally legit apps for it! such as "Arduino Companion" it's an app with instructive information about all sorts of things, arranged nicely by subject. https://play.google.com/store/ apps/details?id=air.com. flashgamer.ArduinoCompanion So far Arduino Complete Reference looks like THE SAME THING, only less sleek, with bigger writing/buttons.  (the other one was awfully small!)  I have both still, just to verify the next time I look into something. It's a better interface than the official Arduino one! ArduinoDroid is the app that let m

I was ill, so am behind.  But I wanted to post a link lest the discussion close while I finish up my dealio.  All pictures are on my phone, but rest assured, I have pictures. ><><>< So I knew right away that I wanted a sensor that would warn me that I was grinding my wrists into the desk again.  I just do that sometimes, especially in the DE classroom, their desk surface is quite shallow!  So, I grabbed some lights to do the typical cool color to red progression.  I was going to do both sleeves, then realized how horrible sewing all of the positive and negative lines twice as far would be.  So I decided to have one sleeve with lights, and doubled them up so that the progression could be across a larger spectrum. I put the lights on felt, so that I would have more control on their placement, but mostly sewing would be easier on a strip than a sleeve! I was so focused on color that I forgot about + /- orientation!  Hooray for tacking! I tacked everything down
