I mostly write about my husband John Plocher working on WP668, our backyard caboose.
Here are pictures from two of his more modern activities last week:
OSCON
John represented Sun and the
OpenSolaris Governing Board (OGB) at the
Open Source Convention
or OSCON in Portland, Oregon. He came home with books, fun loot (I liked the dolphin
toys with Sun on one side and MySQL on the other, and the EFF.ORG “Defend
Blogger’s Rights” tshirts), plus vague stories of late night inflatable sumo wrestling
suits…

ServoBells
John was inspired by the
J. D. Barnhart’s “Ruby on Bells” RAD demo to make and document his own
Arduino ServoBells,
with wine glasses borrowed from Sun Solaris Senior Director Kathy Jenks. Here is his
technical music generator (note the use of chopsticks, tape dispenser, push pins and
other ready materials):
