Oz is lying on the floor and reading my latest issue of IEEE Spectrum, which I won't get to for a while. Busy reading The English Village Constable 1580 . 1642: A Social and Administrative Study, I'm behind on my magazines.
An ad catches my eye and I lean over. "Oooh. Pico."
"Huh?"
"Pico. We used their power converters on the Hamsters. Nifty." I grin.
"Are we going to have to get you set up with a soldering station?"
"Well. I don't really have room in this house for a workshop. But remember those BEAM robots? I could get a kit and experiment, maybe try doing some design. I'd have to get the software from somewhere, but I could design some circuit boards, have PCBexpress print them up for me…"
"You mean, you need a lab."
"That would require some investment. I think I need an employer with a lab."
