You could make the joystick appear as an actual USB joystick! Michael Dexter is awesome. His enthusiasm is incredible. P.S. Ha, exactly. :) Have you looked at pjrc.com’s Teensy?

Got one sitting right here actually. It's my job to get the ROV-controlling joystick data from the joystick to the computer to the ROV (using Python of course :-), then programming the ROV (in Arduino) to correctly interpret that data and control the motors accordingly. Haven't done anything this before but it's really exciting. I haven't seen Michael Dexter in a year or so but I remember him saying good things about the Linux/FLOSS community up there. See you around. --Steve Co-founder of SB Hackerspace P.S. Your post title oddly reminds me of Stephen Colbert and George W. Bush... I’m just diving into Arduino myself!

I really like the blue tones in this one. The reflection is subtle and the blue of the water mixed with white, matches the sky. Overall, this shot definitely works!

I tried doing the same shot in Clearwater last summer, but it was overcast and didn't come out the way I wanted. BTW, the photo of the woman in the rain is timeless.
