Most of the projects I share, and the blogs I write are about finished projects, completed projects, “successful” projects. This blog post is not about one of those projects.

Welcome back to the Blog! Today, I wanted to turn back the clock, waaayyyyy back, to discuss the book that made me want to become an Electrical Engineer.

So I made a thing. It’s not a very complicated thing, but I thought it was pretty cool, so I made it.

The thing is a Firefly Mason Jar Circuit. It’s not a particularly original idea, you can find them pretty easily if you Google “Lightning Bug Circuit.” That being said, I took this project as a challenge to see if I could make a fully integrated, custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design, that kids could use as a Learn-2-Solder project!

Wow! And so it begins. Today marks the very first day of what will hopefully be a very long adventure of creating, inventing, and rambling. Thank you for joining me! I’m not an eloquent writer, but I’ll do my best to fill this /blog//website/ with useful (and hopefully entertaining) content.
