So I don’t know about you but when I see something cool or different or innovative that has to do with technology I have tendency to spend weeks pining over the thing. I do google search after google search trying to read up on the item to see if this piece of tech is something I actually need (which I rarely do).

For christmas I got a ThingamaKIT and have spent the better part of a month trying to find out everything I could make it do.

What is a ThingamaKIT?

So I got the ThingamaKIT for the day little baby Jesus wasn’t born on and have spent the last month waiting impatiently to assemble the kit… but alas no time for love Dr. Jones. Until last week when I found my desk covered with resistors and capacitors and other amazing electronic bits. I was also reading every guide I could find on how to make this thingamawhatever the best thingamawhatever it could possibly be.

Hack-a-day is a beautiful blog that I have spent many a day reading and marveling at it’s sheer brazen worship of people who say fuck the manufacturers warranty in favor of technological understanding. Hack-a-day had an amazing article on hacking the thingamakit (which is highly encouraged by the people who sell the kit no warranties are being voided here). So yes go and be merry and buy thingamakits and make little noise making friends for yourself because making the things you play with is super cool!
