MAKE pal Peter Kirn writes – “Over the past week Reed Ghazala, the innovator who’s known as the father of circuit bending, sent me two sets of resources from his new flickr account. First, you’ll find lots of fantastic and imaginative art and designs, circuit-bent and otherwise, in his whole collection. Second, he has a DIY circuit design for replacing a now-discontinued resistance substitution box, a key component in making warped, circuit-bent creations. If you click through to comments, several of my readers have some ideas for some alternatives to his idea, as well. And, of course, Reed waxes poetic about the passing of a beloved electronics part!” [via] – Link.
