Gardening in the modern age means making things more complicated and arduous, with electrons, bits, and bytes. Behold: the garduino.

I was commissioned to build this model in support of a presentation about geotechnical engineering. The goal is to illustrate the flow paths that groundwater takes under an obstruction (e.g. a sheet pile or cutoff wall).

For me, discussing the weather is more than idle small talk. So when I got interested in web-enabled electronics (the Internet of Things), I knew immediately that my first project be related to the first thing I do when I log onto my computer at work each day: check the weather.

I have this deep-seated desire to turn every knob and push every button and flip every switch that I see.
