Build a Theremin.

I think that the TSA thought my theremin looked suspicious because my luggage got searched and then temporarily lost on the way back from Seattle. Luckily it arrived at my apartment a few days later, and now a friend gave me a soldering iron to continue on this project. Yay!

So even though a lovely friend sent me a kit in the springtime, I started it on 12/27. Tonight I pretty much finished all of the soldering on the board, and can start in on wiring to the controls tomorrow. Since I also need to finish some last-minute holiday gifts (my immediate family always has a late celebration), I might not finish before the 1st, but I am on track to finish this as a goal.
