SolderSmoke book for $16

QST gave the book a very nice review in their August edition.  But they got the price of the paper edition wrong -- it is definitely not $45!  The normal price is $20, but with the coupon code SOCIUS you can get it for $16 through 19 July.

A Visit to the Arduino Factory (video)

Named for an Italian bar, produced by cool people in Ivrea who wield soldering irons and wear T-shirts that say "Make it Simple."  You gotta love Arduino! 

Today I will finish connecting my Arduino Uno to my Doug Demaw Lil' Slugger 10 Beacon rig.  Code (computer code!) by K6HX.

The Society for Model and Experimental Engineers

Wow.  Stop what you are doing and take a look at the four short films about a group of intrepid British knack victims.  Very nicely done.  Really captures the allure of the shack/workshop.
