We are expecting some outages while we perform some upgrades. Shouldn't be longer than a few hours, starting at 8pm MST May 6.
Well we hate to break it to you, but the PICAXE-40X1 has kicked the bucket. Shuffled off the mortal coil. Wacked, given up the ghost, became living-challenged, croaked, sprouted wings, snuffed out.

WHAT'S ALL THIS, WHAT'S ALL THIS?! Step in Time! That's right - we're following up our special edition Evening News Post with a special edition Mid-Week News Post. We gotta keep you folks on your toes somehow. Actually, the real reason we're coming to you on this dusty Wednesday afternoon is that we have a […]
Well, it looks like we somehow managed to walk away from the Maker Faire unscathed. Going to the beach afterwards, though, has left us with some residual sunburns to suffer through.
