The Useless Box is continuing to populate the world with useless... usefullness, and that means it's time for another update on the Make Something Useless Useful project.

PICAXE stock, soldering tutorial
Dave Hrynkiw
July 24, 2009
Well, it's the end of another week, and - Hey! I have something that you might actually be interested in. We've just received some PICAXE inventory, particularly the PICAXE-28 Project Board. So that's now available and ready for us to throw into a box (not literally, of course) and send in your direction. And now that we have that part back in you'll find that both the PICAXE-28X1 Serial Starter Pack and USB Starter Pack are also in stock. Fabulous! Oh, and we got some new and unreleased inventory in as well, but it still need to go through the usual processes before it's ready.
In other news, Solarbotics Fearless Leader Dave Hrynkiw has been granted the supreme title of MAKEcation Camp Counselor. What has he done with the new-found power? Built a solar-powered UFO? Created a giant light-seeking monstrosity? Constructed n Eiffel Tower scale replica out of cheese sticks? Unfortunately, he's done approximately zero of those things. But what he has done is written up a handy-dandy soldering tutorial for those fine folks at Make. Check it out, give it a read, and build a solar-powered UFO with your new insights into the world of connecting little electrical bits to other electrical bits.

As the President of a local technology-hacking company, and having been involved with more than a handful of technology dresses & costumes in the Calgary area, she thought it would be a good […]
