Thinking about bicycles reminded me how much I appreciate the existence of companies like Rivendell bicycle works. They are fad-free, down-to-earth, experienced, and opinionated (in a good way of course). They sell great stuff. They remind me that bicycling is about joy and freedom and not about bling bling.

Even though eight bit microcontrollers are obsolete, I’m still interested in discussing their use and programming. See microcontroller shootout for a rollicking conversation. To keep things fair & balanced, we’re also talking about my architecture of choice: the ARM architecture.

I spent a lot of time in the last few days researching microcontrollers, and I discovered that something I had hoped for for years has finally come true: eight bit microcontrollers are obsolete.
