I build robots for world domination. Although, realistically, all they dominate at the moment is a small table and some shelf space. I use PICs, typically the 16F876A and 28 pin 18F parts. I go for the 28 pin varieties because they have two independently controllable PWMs. I use CC5X, CC8X and HI-Tech C. I've tried a bit of assembly language, but it's not really my thing.

In my day job, among other things, I write blog.screamingcircuits.com. In theory, I'm taking information we learn about design, layout and manufacturing at my place of work and passing it on to other folks who might benefit from the information.
