Third hand

This is a pic of me wiring up one of the beginning examples in the arduino starter kit. It's one that fires up a small DC motor. A couple of things to note.... The wiring diagram pinned on the breadboard makes it idiot proof to wire up. I hope i'm learning enough to wire up things without them.

Also note i got a "third hand" contraption. It's meant to hold your PCB while you solder with little alligator clips, it even has an soldering iron holder. Right now i'm using it to get a better view of things on the breadboard and to help sort tiny little resistors and such. (read: my eyes are old). It even has a nice LED light built in.
