My phrase for the day is: "Yeah, I went down to Chinatown on Saturday to see a man about some parts."  It's a pretty cool little shop at the back of  269 Canal  St.  I picked up a 12V power supply, a multimeter, a wire stripper, a few IC sockets, and a 9-pin female serial connector.  Rock.

I was also able to get four free samples of the PIC16F819 chip online from the manufacturer.  Don't know why they're handing them out, but whatever.  That'll give me three to burn up for the semester.  Hopefully, they'll arrive soon.

Operation Mike's Robot Army is off to a good start.
