OK, so you feel a little like Procrastinatey the Christmas Elf because you never got around to ordering that special nerdy somethin’-somethin’ from Maker Shed and now you figure it’s too late. Fear thee not, oh deadbeat one. It isn’t too late to get that microcontroller kit or other cool MAKE product — just head to your local RadioShack store. Use their in-store product finder (found on every item’s product page) to see which local store has what you’re looking for. (I did a search on the Ultimate Microcontroller Pack seen here in their newsletter and was thrilled to find it in-stock at all of my local Shack locations.)
