How-to Tuesday: Drawdio meets Unruly [2 for Tuesday]
I have 2 really cool projects for this weeks How-to Tuesday. One is the Drawdio kit by Adafruit Industries, the other build is a modification of Drawdio called “Unruly.” These are great projects to make with your kids. Although, when you are done you most likely will not be too willing to share it. It’s just that much fun!

How-to Tuesday: Trippy RGB Waves kit v1.0 [fast]
This week I made the open source Trippy RGB Waves Kit by Mitch Altman. I like this kit because it’s perfect for someone learning to solder, yet it has programming headers so the advanced user can hack it up. The original video was about 12 minutes too long. Too long in my opinion, so I sped it up a bit. OK, a lot.
The kit is available in the Maker Shed http://www.makershed.com/?Click=19208

How-to Tuesday: Hacking a MAKE gift subscription card
This week I am going to show you how to hack a MAKE gift subscription card. Actually, it’s showing you how to interface a 7-segment display with an Arduino. I just happened to make it into a gift card subscription.
My idea was to give a MAKE subscription to a friend. Actually, I am giving them an Arduino along with the subscription. What a great combination! As a final part of the gift, I am making a post on how to program the 7-segment display to help them get started.
