Birthday Week

1 min read

I am now a quarter century old. Before I know it, I’ll be 30 and life will be basically over! I’m kidding, I know I’m still young but hitting a milestone like this definitely makes me think about how I got to where I am and wonder about what lies ahead. On Wednesday, Tally, Natalie, me and some friends spent the evening at The Happy Gnome. It was great to see everyone and I think they enjoyed getting to hold Natalie. On Saturday, a few of us headed to the warehouse district for some dancing. Overall, it was a busy but fun week. My thanks go out to my sweetheart Tally who planned it all (although I am bummed I never saw my balloon ;-).

Natalie’s little personality is starting to show more every day. Some firsts of the last few weeks is that she got her first tooth and went swimming at the pool. She has a baby walker both at our apartment and at my parents and she loves pushing herself around in them. This coming Wednesday, she’ll be 8 months old.

    and now its 2017 and 30 has come and gone 🙂
    I kid, I kid, I’m turning 26 in October so I can’t really talk.

    I’ve been messing around with the r-pi and I’m going to try using my digital potentiometer tonight, hopefully I can figure it out. Any tips on finding resources for digital components and their corresponding pins? Schematics are very confusing.

    Cheers,
    Nikita

      Hi Nikita,

      The datasheet is the best and sometimes only description of a digital component and its pins. You should be able to find in from the website you purchased the component from (Mouser, Digikey, etc). You can usually also find it by Googling for the part number. Two good resources for learning about electronics in general are https://learn.adafruit.com/ and https://learn.sparkfun.com/
