Brag about things you think are worth bragging about.

Me: Developed a software and hardware solution that allows robotics control. Recently tested with a microcontroller controlled radio control car interfaced with a Windows application that allows control of paths, and even internet interface controls.

Future plans are to integrate accelerometers, infrared reflectometer style sensors, and integrated 16 point compass to allow the unit to drive around an area, map out obstacles, and use the logic to allow "blind driving" and "roaming" sensing, allowing a new area identity to be made and a new map to be created.

I don't think I can beat that. That sounds awesome though.

That car kept him amused for hours. I was trying to talk to him and all I could hear in the background was the RC car zippin around.


Ummm I can think of nothing worth bragging about that I've done lately.

I can't really brag about it yet, but I will anyway. I'll be taking cool pictures soon. I'm buying myself a nice camera tomorrow.

Its a 35mm camera, which means it will be film, not digital. So I'll have to find a way to get them on to my computer.

I don't own a scanner. I need film for the class I'm taking. If I really like it, I'll buy myself a digital one.

I like my digital cameras. But the downside of no film is no paper copies. Id like to eventually print out all my pics, but I have over 1000 to sort thru and pick from

While stoned me and -UK- had the bright idea to post a pic of me on 4chan /s/ (sexy beautiful women).
Then i made a topic on RE showing the pic and it got deleted.

Does that count?

No. Its not hard to get deleted from RE. Hell, Viper had my titty shot deleted before I even got back into the thread to make sure it posted.

It's still all put together. I was debating on doing something here where people around the world (with a YN account) could drive the car around...But somebody would have to fuck it up and ram it into shit, so I probably won't do that. -- I MIGHT put up the software I wrote and hardware schematics, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that yet or not.

I may make a video of it though.

Dude, don't let a photography class put you off, it's actually pretty damn fun to see the results of it all.

It's been a LONG time since I updated my photography site, but check it out:

No. That tells me that waking up is something you should be bragging about.

If it works really well. which I assume it does, you could probably make some money off of it.

I already signed up for the class. I needed something to get me away from computers. I realized last semester that I really hated coding when i was forced to do it. Since the semester ended though, I made two sites, one which I took down, and the other hasn't gone live yet, I'm waiting on some information.
