Wow, Aneel used 6 “SpokePOVs” to turn his bicycle wheels in to Obama logos (photo set here)… He included the files for download if you want to do this on your own, or you can of course make whatever you want. Oh, just to be clear and to avoid a comment-fight, MAKE does not endorse […]

Just some background, Josh is behind the very cool Stribe project and we’ve posted about it before (and again right before Maker Faire since it […]
Clive Thompson wrote an article about open source hardware, particularly the Arduino, in the November issue of Wired: Check this out,” Massimo Banzi says. The burly, bearded engineer wanders over to inspect a chipmaking robot–a “pick and place” machine the size of a pizza oven. It hums with activity, grabbing teensy electronic parts and stabbing […]
