Work and travel USA (vdeo)

Our Summer in United States of America with Work & Travel program 2011


Introduction to Arduino

So I bought Arduino (it is microcontroller) from ebay for ~22$, it is not that much. When I received it, one thing came to my mind "It is awesome device". The possibilities of this thing is limitless. For example it is possible to build autonomic car, which can drive in the room without hitting the wall.  

Arduino powered by 9V battery

I love this device, because it is possible to build something without any knowledge about electronics. Ok, you need to know some basics, but not too much. I am software engineer, so at first I was afraid, that is going to be difficult for me with the electronics part, but I was wrong about that one. So watch my first arduino project. It might seem to be complicated, but it is very easy.  


Another thing I love about arduino is the Community. It is outstanding how much bunch of people can do. There are a lot of projects in the internet with the codes and sketches, you just have to follow simple steps. 

Conclusion. It is awesome device, and if you love to develop new things. You should buy it.

Introduction to my blog

Hello world. It is the first thing, that you expect to hear from a software engineer. I am one of those. It is really hard to write something, and even more something that is interesting. I am new to this writing thing, so please don't punish me for strange writing style. By the way, English is not my primary language, you know what I mean by that. 

Who I am. Yesterday one friend asked me "who you are?" and I was unable to answer him. Of course I said some nonsense, but when you think more about it, it is really tough question. I can easily tell about my hardware - my eyes are blue, I am 1.8 meters tall etc... And I can tell something about my software - about my personality and how I behave in social situations. But what really describes who I really am? How to measure that, if that is even possible.

Reason of this post and blog. So it is 1am and for some reason I can't fall asleep (maybe because I slept in the morning). So I thought it would be interesting to do something new, that I have never done before. It is really fun to let it out, event if noone is going to read my this.
