We miss Phillip loads already, as he enjoys his well-deserved MAKEcation. We figured he’d be far from idle. He writes:

Not too long ago there was an xkcd comic featuring the Kindle we knew someone would eventually laser etch a new Kindle 2 but we didn’t expect it to be us! Here’s the first ever laser etched Kindle 2! Sean brought his over to the Adafruit shop today and we “experimented” – it looks great!

    Maybe Amazon could be cool enough to make a Hitchiker’s Guide special edition Kindle.

    Great point! Actually reading the Hitchiker’s Guide on a Kindle would be pretty meta.

    What is this good for? Dying in beauty or what?

    Great idea. WOOT!
