I dig the writing style! I find that putting in a joke or two every now and then makes it far easier for me keep up my attention.

Also, this makes me think. I have two Raspberry Pis lying around. One is a glorified video player, the other one is just catching dust right now. I have wanted to do some kind of hardware project with it for a while, but I am kind of lazy and have pretty much no knowledge of electronics.

I have wanted to build a weather station, though, that keeps a long term record of its measurement in some kind of database. A Pi would be well suited for that, so I might get around to it one day after all.
