    A friend of mine recently made a wireless device to light up and make a sound when he hit a target on the shooting range.

    It was interesting to see him go from idea to working device. It was a process similar to what I go through when programming.

    Yesterday was the 50th birthday of BASIC. I think I will write a BASIC program at work today. 🙂

    WOW BASIC, now that takes me back. I didn't know it was that old, I think I first learned it in about 1980. First language I learned, but Tubo PASCAL is what stole my heart, around 1985.

    Not really into gadgets, I didn't have a cell phone until 2 years ago. Got my first computer, as an adult, about 8 years ago. My first was a Tandy something, I think it had a whole 14K of memory, maybe it was 24K.
