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 website with useful (and hopefully entertaining) content.
