This Christmas, my lovely girlfriend was kind enough to get me an Arduino Duemilanove. I’ll admit that I may have been somewhat specific about what I wanted as a gift, but she managed to still surprise me by buying an Arduino starter pack and wrapping every portion of the bundle in its own little box, including a whole box for all of the bubble wrap that the thing shipped in. I have a few project ideas for this thing, but I will save those for their own posts. Keep an eye out for some new micro-controller projects here.

Back in the Fall of 2006, I had the privilege of working with the great group of guys who make up Firegate Films on their latest film, Among Thieves. This film is about the war in Iraq, a global oil conspiracy, and a little known connection with a foreign financial system. Three friends stumble across a secret that will change their lives forever.

After two and a half years, Among Thieves will finally be premiering on April 21 at the Winnipeg Art Gallary. For more information on the film, trailers, and tickets, check out www.firegatefilms.com/amongthieves.
