====== Projects ======
I'm always doing more than one thing at the same time.

===== Running =====
It's actually quite nice to have this list to see what it is I'm (sortof) working on :-)
  * [[Buttons]]

===== Fridge =====
Things I thought I was working on but haven't made real progress recently.
  * Living in a [[container:shipping container]].
  * [[Sun tracker]], add 2 servo's and a microcontroller to a solar panel to auto-aim it to te most light.
  * [[Quantified home]] combine an [[Arduino]] with an [[http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield|Ethernet Shield]] and my [[1wire]] stuff from the fridge to make online temperature logging possible.
  * [[Line following bot]].
  * [[Captest]], a grid of capacitance sensitive sensors on a Twister™ grid. Powered by an Arduino and connected through midi to a Mac/Pc.
  * Work on my Volkswagen T3 (T25) Transporter [[Doka]] (Doppelkabine).

===== Concrete plans =====
Things already on my horizon and they have had some thinking but not really more than that.
  * Rebuild this chair: [[http://blog.makezine.com/2012/05/14/love-letter-to-plywood-by-tom-sachs/plywood-chair/|Plywood chair]]

  * Inspired by [[http://xkcd.com/363/|XKCD comic 363]] build a similar sign.

===== Future/ideas ======
A way to organize my brain, just dump things here and wait till they are ready to become a concrete plan.
