Well, my stint as Makezine's Soldering Makecation councellor is over. Last thing to do is go over the entries and pick some winners. See them here!
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.

Well, that's not the case. But is does (did?) have beautiful plumage.
But that's okay - it's now back at the old family farm running around free with all the other discontinued PICAXE chips. It'll be happy there for ever and ever. But what about you, the grieving?

So if you have youself an account, feel free to go over here and toss yours in for the count. You'll make a certain little Québécois boy very very happy.

Indeed, we've been celebrating this time-honoured tradition with steadfast dedication, and it's our pleasure to share it with […]
Masking tape and storytelling! Calcium pills and Scandinavian gods! Stop signs and distant relatives. None of the above mentioned things are going to be featured in this post, although they are extremely noteworthy. But all the things in the universe are interconnected, so there's still a chance that this stuff will make sense for someone. […]
Well folks, we don't have any new products to show off today (I guess we're all too busy watching the Olympics...), but we DO have a small handful of recently uploadedYouTube videos to show off.
