A check-in post on fun, weird and potentially pointless projects

	+EeePc 900A OpenBSD install/config
	-Put OpenBSD on this older eeepc (possibly for the Old Computer Challenge next year?)
	-Built-in Wifi doesn't seem to work fully - cheap Edimax usb adapter to the rescue.

	+ESP8266-based Weather Sensor
	-Really wanted to put together a cheap DIY weather station, possibly with a screen(?)
	-The board has built-in Wifi which would be neat to poll temp/humidity from.

	+Find a home/purpose for the stack of servers being retired at work
	-A good number of x64 boxes are coming out of service, rather than have them sit idle
	or just get junked we can: Build a lab? Play with Plan? Build something with *BSD? Use
	them for cheap & deep storage?

	+Build an emulation station for a younger nephew
	-The 7-Year old nephew discovered 16-bit gaming via the SNES Mini at a friend's house
	and now has his sights set on conquering A Link to the Past.
	-Instead of his parents tracking down an expensive after-market SNES mini, there's a fun
	project to build something on a Pi or Odroid.
	-Benefit of havin an "offline" console for a least a few more years (much to the delight
	of his parents)
	-Bonus: He'll have a board to build something more advanced someday, should he be
	interested
