I’ve been trying to salvage components and/or re-purposing stuff at work.

Getting the time to build something useful out of the parts has been my biggest challenge so far. Well, that and a LOT of desoldering. My solder-sucker is a good one, but my thumb does get tired…

I think the text for the Launchpad and the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is swapped.. The links are alright, but the text is flipped. :)
