Well, we survived the skeleton Tuesday, now it's time for Cool Links Wednesday:

Mathematically Correct Breakfast: How to Slice a Bagel into Two Linked Halves
Never thought math and bagels went together so well! While I am no mathematician at any rate, the intellectual stimualtion of creating a two-twist moebius strip, you can get slightly more cream cheese on, because the surface area is bigger.
15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes
Can 15 sorting algorithms be interesting? Over 5 minutes? I didn't think so either, but this is pretty cool.
T8 the Bio Inspired 3D Printed Spider Octopod Robot
Don't like spiders? Me neither! But this one has some pretty amazing moves that any disco dancer would be jealous of. And it is made of smooth 3D printed plastic.
A cold cathode audio visualizer
Super amazing cold cathode audio visualizer by [James], it's even more awesome in action.
Retrotechtacular: Singing bird automata
There's something extremely fascinating about old technology. This one is a singing bird box automaton from the 1890′s.

Now we are a bit less skeleton. That doesn’t mean we put on weight, that means that some of us decided to return from vacations to fancy places. I kinda liked the skeletons though. They helped at the warehouse a lot, donated their portion of ice cream in favour of the starving and let me use their femur bone for a coat hanger...

Freeduino, Freeduino, Freeduino!

The whole 'duino thing is just so much to say, we've got to do it three times. Blame Jerome, our intern... We've got Freeduino version 2.2 back from the assembly line today, and all tests out beeeautifully! New features include an SMD-mounted 16MHz crystal, better power-consumption circuit routing (for battery-operated projects), and "hacking pads" for […]

Synapse Wireless, LCD Clearance Sale

The Googles tell us that 'synapse' is defined as "a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter." This, however, is one of the rare instances where The Googles are wrong, because what Synapse actually is (according to Jeremie, our tech guy) are RF engines […]

Organizing the Advanced Section

Every once in a while we like to re-arrange the furniture. Sure, it's nice to have things look new and different, but most of the time we're just trying to make things just work better. This week we've done a little bit of restructuring of our Advanced category - we hope it'll make it easier […]
