We Have Mind Control...

...well technically its eye control, but mind control sounds cooler so we're going with that. But now that we've successfully made little lights on the computer turn on by just looking around we want to know what cool things you would like to see us do.

So far we're planning on blowing stuff up by blinking (maybe a good stephen king movie) and playing a little old school Mario just by looking around the screen but we know ya'll have better ideas than that. So let us know in the comments what you'd like to see us do.

We're Getting Fancy Here

For our latest project we have decided to get all fancy, we have a bit of a complicated circuit and rather than getting 8 breadboards with wire going every which way we're building a custom circuit board. It reminds me of when I did this in high school with a sharpie, transparency paper and acid. It seems however there are companies that do this for you which is all well and good, but you don't get the fun of acid burning your friends. To each his own (or her own) I guess.

Here's a nice 3D view of our custom board so far designed by Barron (we picked him to do it because he sits behind me, it just turned out he's also really good at it).
