Balki is a huge fan of Winter. Two months back, we headed toward Montreal and found the last snow of the season.
Recently, we've started passing the 80°F mark. This is now a common scene in the living room —
That pad he's on is just-out-of-the-freezer cold1, and the fan is spinning as fast as it can. As my Grandpa says, "That dog sure knows how to live comfortable."
More than six months after our first Arduino experiment, we're back at it with a simple light and a button. The end goal of these experiments is something like a button-activated puppy feeder. Here's the setup —
It's pretty simple: hit the button and the light turns on.
Great! But does the button work with the puppy?
This is going to be fun.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for Balki.
He helped us unpack into a storage unit when our first apartment fell through.
He battled deep footprints in the Toronto snow.
He learned how to do stairs on the most terrifying flight there is.
And he was exhausted after moving into our new place.
It's a shame the store didn't have any big bones.
Of course there's more!
Great news! I've got a puppy.
He was born on December 26th, 2012. When we got Balki a few days ago, he was almost 7 weeks old. He's a lab/shepard mix who goes by the name "Chancellor Ruffelstiltskin T. Balkonovich, Esquire" or nickname "Balki"
