We love Sarah's goggles!

Lots of people build custom steampunk goggles, but most don't implement any interactivity - they're just an aesthetic accessory. [Sarah] recently decided to built a pair that, besides looking cool, would engage the wearer in creating sound.

Sweet reactor goggles powered by an ATTiny4313 by Sarah Petkus! Lots of process shots on her blog, and I think I spy an adafruit product here and there as well. =]

SYN Shop had another good First Friday showing, with a lot of our members stopping by to work in the booth and talk with the public about what we do at SYN Shop. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.

The word "hackerspace" calls to mind a haven where Angelina Jolie, Jonny Lee Miller and their ilk feverishly crack encrypted websites.

After popular demand, we have brought back our Nymph microcontroller boards! Built with the ATmega328P processor and compatible with Arduino. Perfect for Arduino-based designs where reliable connections and field replaceability are desired.

Circuit Monkey really likes this KickStarter idea! We pledged $300 towards their project and can't wait to get a kit of parts!

$10/meter, ~$1.00 per joint, 100% off-the-shelf fasteners. By eliminating specialty screws, you get the best bang for the buck!
