How do you get some Raphaels? Simple! Just make sure Nick Farr is coming over, and the rest is taken care of! Presto! Cardboard sold separately.

Here’s my game from the recent art party. One of my co-workers has the all-time high score of 9600. Go download it and use your favorite emulator and break 10000!

Don’t have an emulator? Go download one here. Install that and use it to open the .gba file. Post your scores in the comments!

I do all of my hacking at the NYC Resistor hacker space, and I’m proud to announce the most recent fruit of my labors: the Sanguino. This board is an Arduino-compatible board that boasts 4x the memory (64K!) 4x the RAM (4K!) and 12 more pins (32 IO pins!) Its all open source and you can get one from the RepRap Research Foundation for only $25. Sweet!

Oh, and I managed to get this footage last night. Check it out.

We are in desperate need of an old skool teletype machine. These were used to distribute and communicate information across copper wires for a long time. The network they ran on has been long gone, but we need one for a project. If you can donate it to us, we’ll hold you in our heart forever. If you can sell it to us, we’ll pay you a reasonable amount! Ham radio folks sometimes have these. If you know anyone who’s got one gathering dust, we would like to bring it back to life!

the true secret of nimh

It would appear that my soldering iron has been purloined by nefarious minds indeed. I’ve been instructed to post an image depicting the daring liberation of a soldering iron as carried out by rats of a certain caliber of awesome. Rather than invest time in actual photoshop goodness I’ve instead gimped the rats of nimh. Hopefully those who have my iron will return it safely.
