I know what I did last night

Last night was a productive night, first Phil (KC2SGA) and I (KC2RGZ) put together the first Signal Generator Kit that we bought for K2CC. I wanted to be familiar with the kit because later this week I'll be teaching the other members of K2CC basic soldering and electronics work by having them each build one. They're pretty cheap kits and they seem to work pretty well, and if you wreck it, not a big deal. They're also all through hole components. The only complaint I have is that it does not have a power switch and I forgot to remove the battery last night, so now it's dead. Oops. Here's a picture of the completed board:

And after that, Matt Franklin (roommate) and I took apart Gigan to (finally) replace her busted heatsink/fan assembly, and in fact I am using her right now! Here is a picture of her naked:
