SO! I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to program, and I am wicked excited that Santa got me a sparkfun redboard mini inventor's kit! This is basically going to now be my winter break.

What really hit me, is that this will be a fun activity for me to share with my dad. He was a programmer for years and spent countless hours building machines and such. He has been depressed lately because he misses my brother and I who have been away for over a year, so this will really bring him out of his funk and let us have fun together!

Santa killed it this year!!!
