I'm learning about electronics bit by bit, making projects and tearing things apart

We’ve got another Netgear router to take a look at, it’s the Inside the Netgear DG834 v2 Wireless ADSL Firewall Router which is a similar product to the RP614 except it has wireless.
So I’m very interested in electronics again and I bought the Arduino Starter Kit from a supplier in Australia and I’ve been testing it out a bit. I also bought an 16×2 LCD, a 8×8 LED Matrix and some other parts too.
I’m always trying to make games out of everything so naturally I started thinking of games that can be made using the LCD and came up with a car type game which you try to avoid walls and shoot enemies blocking your path. This game would be better if you have a 20×4 LCD as just having 2 positions to change to is kind of limiting the game experience.

We’ve got another router the Netgear RP614 v3 Cable/DSL Web Safe Router which we’ll look into. I’ve always bought Netgear switches and routers myself so I was pretty interested to open it up.
Buy the Standalone Temperature/Voltage Logger Kit starting from $14. Logs to an I2C EEPROM. Extract data via the USB port. At least 1 year battery life.
Buy the ATiny25 Tiny Temperature Logger Kit for $9 + $7 for Reader. Logs to an 512Kbit EEPROM.
Buy the ATtiny Programmer Adapter PCB for $4. Use this with your programmer to program all DIP ATtiny's more easily.
Buy the Gameboy Cart Shield PCB to use with your Arduino for $8. Allows you to dump GB/GBC carts and save/load game saves.
