Today I didnt do much on any program because I got ahead and finish the packet before some people. Instead of working on a new project, I researched on the materials needed rto create the IR-pen:

1. Basic Materials:
   Whiteboard marker (large enought to fit everything inside)
   Vishay TSAL 6400
   Momentary switch
   Wire (0.12 gauge is fine)
   1x Battery (1.2v or 1.5v N, AAA, or AA)
   Battery case to suit
   If using more than 1.5v you will need a resistor, read this to calculate the resistance you require
   Flux core solder
2. Basic Tools: Soldering iron, File, Pliers, Drill, Craft knife.

Note: I just started working on a new Adobe Illustrator packet!!!
