list some fields that interest you, it'll make it easier to suggest a project.

yes, definitly look to incorporate electronics with your other interests. It makes it much more...well..interesting.

Take a look at places like Radio Shack, Ocean State Electronics, Jameco and similar electronics suppliers. They sell educational kits that look like toys might but prove to be valuable learning aids.

www.electronickits.com is another place to look.

i have no specific field in mind but there are certain projects i'd like to try. something like an itercom for my front door. and if im not at home , the intercom should play a pre recorded message for my visitors. sounds cool huh? i would also like to try out stuff using my computer . programming is no hassel for me. but i have no idea of what stuff i could do with my comp. is it possible to open doors and windows or turn off the lights with a single command from my computer?
im looking for some kind of reading material and i do have multisim 2001 on my computer where i can try out the circuits.
