Timo sent me a link to his latest Arduino project. He made a wooden, buttonless, IR remote control from an Arduino and an accelerometer. I really like the idea of a remote that doesn’t have any buttons. The fact that it all fits inside a small, seamless, wooden enclosure makes it even cooler! Check out […]

I am so happy to see kids experimenting with electronics and micro-controllers. Are […]
Darling Petunia snatched up at $2.90 children’s tank at the thrift store and refashioned it into this blue blossom bag.
Via the CRAFT Flickr pool, Marisa Ranalli made this totally amazing handmade electronic and fiber dress powered by LilyPad Arduinos and included LEDs and nitinol wire (an alloy that changes shape when electricity is applied). It’s her final project in the Textiles program at Sheridan College in Toronto, and it’s totally rad! I’d love to […]
