Start the week with a sunrise

If you are going to have to get up on a Monday morning it might as well be to a sunrise like this.

Driving Home and Hanging Blinds

Nothing like driving 225 miles and then hanging some vertical blinds when you arrive home.

Galaxy Trucker

This is my space truck. Didn’t win.

Galaxy Trucker is a really good board-game. We spent some time today finding out how it works, and what happens if you build a space ship with no engines.

.NET Gadgeteer Fun and Games

I love getting parcels in the post. Particularly if they contain things like a complete set of .NET Gadgeteer devices and interfaces. There are loads of interface devices, including touch screens, GPS sensors, barometers, thermometers, gyroscopes, moisture sensors and even a thing that which looks like it will measure my heartbeat.

The potential for fitting things together and doing great things with them is wonder, wonder, wonderful. I’m going to take them home for Christmas and see what we can build. I foresee a return of the Blog Controlled Christmas Lights.

Christmas Bash 2011

We had our Christmas Bash today. A bit near the end of the semester so it was a fairly select gathering, but fun none the less.  We did the usual Team Fortress 2 and Pizza

After 3 hours of solid effort Simon found all of the 78 words in the “Three Thing Game” Christmas Wordsearch. We had to give him a prize, but only after we’d checked the age rating of it.

Double barrelled cracker action. I think the blur adds atmosphere….
