Parallax ELEV-8 Quadcopter

I recently visited Parallax in Rocklin, CA, and while there I was given an ELEV-8 quadcopter to build (thanks Ken!). Here's a neat picture of the completed ELEV-8 at night with the LEDs on:

And here is a video I put together of my build pictures and video clips of it flying:

Walking

I started doing regular walks in early May. Since May 9th (when I started using Runkeeper to track them), I have done 54 walks with a total distance of 82 miles. My longest single walk was 2.34 miles on the trail behind my house. Most of the time I walk on the path at Miramar Lake which is between work and home.

Below are some photos from the lake:

Next are some photos from the trail behind my house:

And here's one showing the solar panels on my house (that I can see from part of the trail behind my house):

Star Wars Legos & Stuff

Someone wanted to see my Star Wars Lego stuff. So here's a few pics:

555 Contest Entry (fixed)

I rearranged the wiring a little, and added caps at every score trigger circuit input. That fixed the noise problem enough that I was able to re-enable the drop target reset feature and the pop bumper scoring.

I made a new video (I hope it's acceptable to update this and it counts.):
