too bad you need space for it! my wife turned our very small yard into a farm and hacked together a multi rabbit cage from an old play house and now most of our yard is rabbits and chickens and quails and there is poo everywhere! the chickens are cool they make eggs from your leftovers and the rabbit tastes ok but we've only eaten 1 so it's probably working out at a couple hundred dollars per kilo for the meat by now. the rabbits eat a lot of horse food

rabbits and chickens have coops AND are very easy to kill when the time comes

wife keeps talking about chickens but our back yard is like 20'x30' and i just don't really see how that would be comfortable to keep a coop and stuff without cramping our style re: lawn furniture and so on

jonny if we make an rov will you program an arduino so that it automatically hunts fish, jerks them off, then steals their brain for us?

On the gardening front, it is a pain to start it up, but my fall garden is growing decently, and I'm working on building some "convertible" greenhouses over two of my beds which I can hopefully pump a little heat into in order to do winter tomatoes or something.

i was thinking about doing my Senior Design project about a plant lab like use led grow lights and hydroponics and automate the lighting and nutrient levels, it would probably be computery enough, if not i could use a webserver to livestream plantstats

Some folks have done that, you can also install a 50-200 gallon tank to grow tilapia in and use the fish pooped water to fertilize the beds, while using the plants/beds to filter the water back to the tank.

try to find a high school near your job that has a FIRST robotics team, then offer to be a "mentor" to them with your programming and electronics expertise. they're always grateful for experts to help out, especially if you work at a place where you can say get them motors or machining time or electronics or whatever. you get to build fancy robots with a budget much larger than a single dude at home would have, you teach kids all about science, and the competitions are awesome like the homecoming football game but for big nerds

highly recommended. our team made it to the nationals and placed in the top 10% last year

i dont know if they still do this but if you go to an elementary school book fair they sell a box full of electric bits for like $10, looks exactly like what's in that indiegogo, plus you give an elementary school two dollars.
