I'm working on Lillypad Arduino (wearable electronics) It's nice, I was able to get more done in the past 2 days than I have in the past few weeks... and with a full-time job too! It's weird. I guess I was just very good at avoiding listening to people pitch stuff. It's does wonders for productivity. I'm not sure if I can be very helpful tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I am not going to be so interested in hearing about people's kickstarters but it's all good. I just want to give happy energy at making and there will be a project that will lead to nice things. Useful videos to watch. I like these because I actually do stuff seeing these... they will not get you stuck in the "not doing" cycle of doom. These are very relevant videos for beginners. - Becky Stern was an NYU New Media Lab graduate - her embroidery + arduino videos are very helpful - http://blog.makezine.com/2008/04/21/lilypad-arduino-embroider/ - Leah Buchley came up with the Lilypad design - she is cool - http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/ Some parts of SudoRoom aren't quite prettily decorated with art. In the long term future I would love to donate lace-dripped electronics and embroidery to be part of useful things like the door project.
