We're giving our news postin' habits a bit of an overhaul. Here's the plan: instead of one massive newspost once a week, we're going to break things up a bit. Monday's we'll post a cool project or tutorial that might be fun to try. Wednesdays, we'll post some of the awesome links that we've bit passing around the office. And finally, as to preserve some sense of sanity, we'll keep posting our latest product releases every Friday. And if you want to contribute... Let us know! We're especially interested in showing off whatever neat projects we can, so feel free to write us with some images or links or description-type-stuff so that we can show off your projects to the world.
So let's take this 'Project Monday' thing for a spin, shall we?

We love to see BEAM projects getting some lovin' from time to time - that's where we have our proud roots. There's something really elegant about such simple designs that don't require any fancy brains and are quite content to putter around in the sunlight. We carry most of the parts needed for this project, from the solar cell to the cassette mechanism and flashing LED. Make Magazine actually ran similarprojects waaaay back in Volume 6. The circuits are a little bit different than this project, but we also have kits available that will set you up with what you need to make your own solar roller and trimet.
Happy Monday, everyone! Er, if such a thing exists...
Before we jump to the new product announcements, we need to tell you that we will be closed on Monday August 3rd (wait, what, it's already August?!) to celebrate something called a National One of the Many Long Weekends Day - I mean Heritage Day. We will resume our regular activities of answering phones and […]
We're coming up on that magical time of year when rabbits tend to poop chocolate eggs. Which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Couple that with April 1st, where the object is to mess with people, and this sure makes for a bizarre month. But hey - when a strange, chocolaty rodent is enough […]
