The true meaning of the holiday came to me today as we escorted a mountain of dismantled cardboard boxes outside for recycling.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/083108\/dec2611\/71dc664d.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>THe rest of the day passed very peacefully.. Max and I had a plan to work on the computerized camera slider we&#8217;re working on together. We started at about 2:30 this afternoon. the next time we looked up it was 7:30 at night. We made great progress. It&#8217;s so much fun working together. Max is a natural at the electronics and programing stuff.. which is pretty cool for an artist at heart. We made great progress today.. we got both a servo and stepper motor working and are comparing them as potential drives for the slider. Tomorrow we hope to tackle the mechanical parts of the drive..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/083108\/dec2611\/4473362d.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/083108\/dec2611\/3d0ad752.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While Max was programming, I made some more progress on my LED strips.
