About the Author

JAMES FLOYD KELLY is a freelance writer who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He has degrees in both English and Industrial Engineering, because he couldn't decide between majoring in liberal arts or math and science. Fortunately, technical writing uses both sides of the brain, and he has been able to write on a variety of topics, including LEGO robotics, free software, and building a custom computer. James is also the editor in chief of the number one LEGO NXT Robotics blog, The NXT Step (http://www.thenxtstep.com). When not writing, he and his wife enjoy watching their little boy discover all kinds of new and exciting things about the world.
