when i started hack a day (and later the make online site) i would look for things that were interesting to me, but you also need to make sure you serve the audience what they’re interested in… and right now, a whole new generation of makers/hackers/crafters are getting their start with the arduino.

all the projects you’ve listed have appeared here, and MAKE and pop sci – but send them in to the tips line here, i’m sure they’ll post them as well.

More space, more pins, etc – and it works just fine with the arduino software.

They deserve it though.

(limor’s also pretty cute)

I particularly like how open and descriptive she is with her tutorials. I haven’t actually bought anything from her, but I have used some of her tutorials. This makes me want to buy kits from her in the future.

Ditto, her tutorials are very helpful and she does have some pretty snazzy products.

I would complain how it’s looking like LadyAda’s own ad space. I would, perhaps, if I weren’t totally in love with her. She’s directly responsible for so much of my knowledge now. From my first minty-boost to my first Arduino Starter kit. Those tutorials of hers really launched me into the uC world. If not for her, I never would have a project featured here.

Is it to prevent/deter people from making their own shields? If so wouldnt that kinda ruin the whole open source initiative?
