Today was really good.  I feel as tough I have got the garage all set up.  It feels like a really work shop and now that the computer with the real time kernel and wifi is up and running.  It is on to the the finishing the CNC machine.  The belt drive system is so cool and takes a time to fine tune… but I did build it all myself.

It was really cool to explain to my housemate what drives me.  I can see a cool plan.

Wow what a really busy summer!  Which is why I have not posted much on this.

The most driving things for me right now is filling out my application to volunteer on the Citizen Review Committee.  It is vital that government be legitimate to citizens.  Having citizen oversight is essential for our Democracy to flourish… no only if there were public hearings on the Wall Street bailout happening right now.

In the geek realm I am building a CNC machine for a project that will most likely use some cool open hardware.  It feels so good to work with my hands and tools after years of doing Systems Administration.  I very much feel as though I am in a transitional period of my life into the political realm.  I still enjoy and believe that technology is available to do great things for people… but only if the technology is open and affordable to all.
