Laser Cutter

I've been interested in creating a laser cutter for a while, and am excited to create a simple CNC setup with use of the Makerslide rails and an arduino.  I enjoyed a project that used an arduino before, and am excited to have some computer aided fabrication capabilities.

Baby On The Way

We are expecting a baby!  Very soon in fact.  We've been assembling the myriads of baby things that having a baby these days requires... car seat, playpen, stroller, etc.  Thanks to everyone who has helped us get ready for the baby!
