While at work, I'm usually sitting in a cubicle listening to headphones.
If a colleague needs my attention, they usually have to knock on my cube, which may or may not work.

To help out, I created a cubicle doorbell that flashes when a doorbell is pressed.
The doorbell button will be mounted on the outside of my cube wall, and the lights will be mounted around my monitors.

An Arduino monitors for an amperage change in the power supply to the BlinkM, and will blink a strand of LED lights when the current exceeds a threshold.  A BlinkM was added in the doorbell button for a little added flair.

New phone, new case.
I went back to Carved , as I was really happy with my last wood accented case.
This time, I noticed that there was an option to add a custom graphic to the wood on the back of the case.
I wanted to have a resistor icon on the case, but couldn't find one that I liked through image searches.
The Carved site would allow the upload of a custom graphic, but it needed to be a SVG file.

I wound up using Processing to design my own resistor icon, and then export it as an SVG.

Here's a link to the Github repository with the Processing code, and output SVG image.
