The software is not up anywhere yet, but anyone who wants a copy, Devon is looking for collaborators. Let us know if the comments if you’d like to get involved!

Superbly handy LED circuit resistor calculator here. Put in your source voltage, forward diode voltage and forward current, get back a well-calculated wiring diagram. Woo! Arithmetic done by machines!
LED Simple Solution #1 – Use in place of missing barrette.
Check out this awesome modular robot! It even heals itself when kicked. Crazy!
My friend Becky made me an Arduino birthday cake this year! There was a fight over the AVR chip (dark chocolate) which involved memory loss and a cake knife. Candles became wire sticking out of the pins. Seriously awesome. Next task: to make LED candles that you have to short out instead of blow out.
Last night while we were all enjoying the glory that is Hackers, I hacked together this quick DTMF tone generator for GBA. I’ll post the source soon, you can have the ROM now. It doesn’t sound quite right to me, but I’ll put it to the test today and see if I can drive a payphone with it. I plan to use some telephone tones in one of my upcoming demo routines.
Due to Julia Stiles being “elite”, and a “console cowboy” on “the wired” we have decided to put forth an invitation to Julia Stiles to become an official friend of Resistor. Julia please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Zach Smith tells us about his Danger Shield for Arduino.

In this video: Zach ‘Hoeken’ Smith, Eric Skiff (behind the camera / CC-BY music), and Raphael Abrams and Nick Bilton in the background.
With apologies to Kenny Loggins “High-way-to-the…Danger Shield!”
