WP668 Caboose Railings (half done)
We are half done creating the stair railings for WP668, our backyard caboose. See my 14 October 2008 blog entry for more. The rail and balusters are being created out of galvanized steel pipe. John assisted Chris Gremich (CG Designs in San Jose, CA, phone: 408-313-3706) to shape and assemble the parts. We hope to finish the job this weekend.

Arduino Night Pictures: Silicon Valley OpenSolaris User Group
John and I were up until midnight last night at the SVOSUG - Silicon Valley OpenSolaris User Group meeting. The event was held at the historic Sun's Santa Clara Campus Mansion. See my 21 October 2008 blog for more.
The meeting's setting was charming and elegant. Sun's 1913 Mediterranean Revival style Mansion was filled with arts and crafts furniture and geeks showing off and building computer toys. Over 20 people attended and the SVOSUG plans to hold another "Builduino" night in a few months.
