Electronics & soldering workshop for Redemption?
I can't remember who I have talked to about this idea, but I thought there may be a few (young?) people at Redemption interested in electronics, and in learn to build a simple circuit. So I'm proposing to run a workshop for a couple of hours, where people can learn to solder & use a test (multi)meter on a small project (probably with flashing LED lights) that they can take home afterwards. Possibly designing & creating a kit for the workshop myself, or using one of the cheaper kits from Maplin. Resources required: 1. tools - I should have 3 or 4 soldering irons to bring, and a selection of accompanying tools; 2. protection for the tables, probably we can borrow some cardboard from the chaos modelling; 3. kits of parts - e.g. Maplin has some simple kits here http://www.maplin.co.uk/leisure/electronic-kits/tr-kits which mostly need accompanying batteries too. The participants would need to pay for the kit they build, target price would be £5 to £10 including batteries. (Unless they were sponsored somehow.) I welcome your thoughts on whether this something people would be interested in. Current Mood:  chipper | | Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 | 9:56 pm

Wedding photo.
At Misha and Zoe's wedding I was lucky enough to catch the bouquet. Just after that someone snapped a pic of me and Lindsey holding it.
Anyone know who that was? Maybe it was you? I would love to get a copy of the picture!
(Also, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) multiclassgeek might be amused to know my autocorrect changes his name to 'Mishap'! Fate?) | | Sunday, April 17th, 2011 | 2:42 pm
