This was a long time coming for such a minor accomplishment but I'm thrilled nonetheless. I have successfully gotten my Arduino Uno board out of the box (about a year after I bought it), hooked up to my Mac (with my fancy, clear USB cable that I stole from my Blue Snowball microphone), and — lo and behold! — it's blinking. It's alive! Woo hoo!
Next up: Actual programming.
