Well, it took almost a year for me to complete the writeup (when the actual project only took me about a week), but I’ve finally completed my project writeup for my Arduino powered model rocket launcher. You can find it under projects in the navigation menu, or click here.

Hour of Code 2013

I think that CS education needs to improve, and the best way to do so is through programs like this, so check it out and see if there’s any way you can help out this year.

After that I’ll try to get project write-ups up, but my time is somewhat limited at the moment.
