SproutRobot Update: 1st Seeds Came In
My first package of seeds finally came in today. I was actually just about to contact SproutRobot to see if I would ever be getting them.
They came packaged in a standard USPS padded envelope with a letter explaining when to plant and instructions on how to plant the seeds I had received. The seeds were separated in individual small ziplock backs with hand written labels. Each bag contained about 10 seeds. One was Green Beans and the other was Summer Squash
I guess I will actually have to go get some pots and soil now..

Tritium Glowrings
A few months back I came across an article that mentioned private contractors using Glowrings. At first I was puzzled, “what the heck is a Glowring?” I had never heard of such a thing. Being the gear geek that I am, with a very inquisitive nature, I asked the author what it was. When I got the answer I decided I had to have one, but tracking them down proved difficult and explained why I had never heard of them before then. Read more
