How to Start Making Your Own Electronics with Arduino and Other People's Code
The annual Consumer Electronics Show is in session, and thousands of people have rushed to Las Vegas stare at next year's dust-gathering trash. Maybe you can do better.
Very cool data visualization

Last.fm's Best of 2011 is up today – summarising what the world actually listened to in 2011 across 20 countries and 15 different tags/genres. One of our designers, +Paul Blunden, did an amazing data visualisation of the top 80 artists who had their first scrobble in 2011. Each line is the scrobble history of that band in 2011.
The data is real and the image should be familiar to some of you…

I wonder how long it will be until we see this kind of technology in regular glasses

After fighting with Adobe Digital Editions, I've managed to start reading The Help on my Nook! Saw the movie last week, it was quite good. Would have preferred to read the book first, but a lot of other people were ahead of me in the library queue 😛

The Help
The Help has 268,085 ratings and 46,681 reviews. Annalisa said: Here is an illustrative tale of what it was like to be a black maid during the civil rights…
Wow, Adobe Digital Editions is a horrible piece of software! Constantly beachballing, and didn't properly authorize my Nook the first time so I had to hunt down where it stores its settings, delete the folder, and re-authorize my Nook. It then insists on indexing all the ePub files already on my Nook and popping up dialog boxes for every B&N encrypted file that it can't read. I think I'll stick with using the Kindle app on my Nook to read library books, the "ePub" icon on Overdrive's site is very misleading.
B&N really need to integrate Overdrive into their lending system the way Amazon has so i can just add the library book to my device over-the-air when I check it out.
Wow, this looks sweet!
