Some good stuff from SparkFun who will be at Maker Faire Austin in a couple week! We’re going to Maker Faire Austin next week. If you’re anywhere near Texas, we would highly recommend this amazing event on October 18th and 19th. We will be there in full force with lots of toys (the LED Coffee […]
Robert keeps doing interesting things, when he’s not making the coolest visualizer (now part of iTunes) he’s making a giant Madonna out of dice… via BBG. He writes… Those that know me know I am a sucker for multitudes. Many of anything intrigues me more than single things ever could. So it wouldn’t be much […]
IDEO has a new lab blog that catalogs some of their projects and experiments, here’s a multi-touch display… They released the code for the FTIR server and the Flash API here if you want to check it out… At IDEO we’re all about building to think. Learning from books and websites and product demos is […]
Matt hacked around with the Esquire cover e-ink screen (see our past posts) and did a cool Knight Rider type pulse… Source included. He writes- Last month, Esquire magazine published a cover that contained an E-ink screen. I was really looking forward to it, actually… so much so that I marked it in my calendar […]
This ZigBee radio module has a 32-Bit ARM Processor and its architecture reduces component amounts on the PCB which ultimately reduces power consumption and the overall cost of these efficient modules. This package needs an external crystal and there’s room for an optional 50 Ohm antenna as well. The two onboard ADCs and 8 general […]
This gorgeous paper swan takes about 10 hours to make, at first I though that might be too much time to spend on a papercraft but the results look great!

Interesting and inevitable, an open source hardware project (Arduino) talking […]
