-Originally I had planned to add a bunch of electronics (LEDs for which task is active), but I decided not to. I was having a rough time getting my microcontroller to work, or figuring out how to mount hardware. I don't think I would have been happy with the electronic version (even with enough time to do it well), and I am with this version.
+Originally I had planned to add a bunch of electronics (LEDs for which task is active, a built-in timer, a buzzer, etc), but I decided not to. I was way too ambitious, so I didn't think I'd have time. On top of that, I was having a rough time getting my microcontroller to work, or figuring out how to mount hardware cleanly on MDF. I don't think I would have been happy with the electronic version (even with enough time to do it well), and I am with this version. I'm glad I gave up on that part early. I don't think I'll attempt another physical electronics project during hack-a-day -- it's too hard with too little to show for it at my skill level.
