In that last fritzing diagram, you could connect the motor power to the Vin pin on the Arduino to get the 9 volts. Otherwise, the 5V regulator on the board is already dropping it to 5V. This motor does not need more than 5V to run, but is robust enough to take up to 9 without burning out, so is a good little one to play with.

Remind me to bring that up in class!

It looks like you’ve learned Fritzing as well. Hopefully that proves to be a useful documentation tool – taking pictures of messy breadboards doesn’t really do the job and is so much harder to refer back to.

The TED talk is called “3 ways good design makes you happy” http://www.ted.com/talks/don_norman_on_design_and_emotion.html

Do you have the links to the TED talks you reference? They sound interesting.

Great feedback on the reading. The phrase “necessity is the mother of invention” comes to mind. Excuse me while I go put on my non-prescription glasses.
