Well, we've been busy in Wisconsin! We are closing on a house, which has meant that I've been only consuming and not brewing. But that did give me time to pursue a project that I've wanted to do for a while - make a stir plate.
It really isn't too hard to do, but it does take some patience. Here is a video of the stir plate I built.

A couple things that I didn't go into great detail in the video are that I started with a bad power supply. A multi-meter helped me debug it by discovering it was pulling 25% less than it should. After that everything worked beautifully!
