   I haven't written anything here for a while. Just a follow-up to things I've found so far this year on the bike:

   • $5
   • $1
   • Phone - returned to a 5 year old. Texted the number for 'mom', and she answered.
   • Tablet, found in the gutter of the Bayfront parkway. Found the owner via Facebook. After a week of procrastinating on it, I mailed it back.
   • Flashlight
   • A bunch of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Yoh cards

   Found a Samsung phone with a SIM card. The card was disabled, so no luck returning it.

   I'm currently working on an Arduino based bike computer / data logger, based on a Arduino Uno and an SD shield. It seems to work quite well, and I use it for recording my progress on my bike trainer. I'm going to replace it with a RBBB and a micro-SD adapter I found online to make it portable.

5. Gifts from the road gods

   As you bike along, occasionally you find things that have been dropped, left, or lost. So far this year, I have found:

   • A Transformer toy (pretty well used)

   • Loose change

   • Wallet (returned to owner)

   • Keys (sent back in the mail, do not know if it made it back yet)

   Last year, I found 3 phones. No phones that were workable have been found yet.
