Rory Nugent (of Solar Xylophone fame) has posted his thesis presentation to the Interactive Telecommunications Program, which heavily features BEAM devices. By "building things with a sense of life", he's documenting what we've known for a good while - autonomous devices ("pets") offer unusual interesting relationships. Keep up the good work!

Well, it's been a few weeks since the last update. We have a few big projects on the burner - we're not quite ready to make any announcements yet, but keep your eyes open in the next few months.
But don't fret - there are some things we can share with you this week. For instance, we've just brought in two new books from Make:
- Make: Electronics - Learn basic components and principles through "learn by discovery" experiments
- Maker's Notebook - 150 pages of engineering graph paper, helpful information/charts, and stickers
But wait, there's more!
Rudy, one of our most excellent interns, has made an Intructables for upgrading an Ardweeny with socket headers and stronger pins. Check it out here!
