The "Happiest Place on Earth" usually refers to Disneyland in Anaheim. Magic Kingdom in Orlando is the "Most Magical Place on Earth"

Re: CNN Shows Adafruit Part During Bombing Segment

Sorry to be snide. It's very interesting to me when something like this happens and you often have a whole chorus of people saying "they should sue," or "they might have a case" likely without any actual knowledge of the law. I wonder if it perpetuates misconceptions about how the law works.

They're probably not taking legal advice from comments here, either.

Of course, you can try to sue for anything you want, but something tells me Adafruit won't be taking legal advice from Reddit anytime soon.

Waiting to hear from an Intel rep on that! I'll update the post once I hear back!

Re: Lessons from the Maker Summit

Matt Richardson — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 17:33:09 -0000

The government's interest in the maker movement seems focus on education and entrepreneurship since the benefits in those realms are much more pronounced. I'm with you, I hope they don't forget that making and the arts go hand-in-hand.

Thanks for reporting about this, Al. There's huge potential with this technology, but we still don't have a clear winner in the easy-to-program BLE microcontroller arena, right?

Re: Tesla is Giving Away its Patents

Matt Richardson — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:59:06 -0000

I really admire Tesla for being so innovative, open, and disruptive. Even the way Elon Musk (and other representatives of the company) communicate on behalf of Tesla is so refreshing.

Re: 3 Millionth Raspberry Pi Sold

Matt Richardson — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:12:34 -0000

I agree. There are so many people pushing the Pi to its limit that you can usually find someone online who has tried what you want to do and shared their experience. Oh, we'd love to see your project when you're done: http://makezine.com/contrib...

Re: DIY Edge of Tomorrow Exoskelleton From Household Materials

Matt Richardson — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:00:21 -0000

Really impressive. It's fun to try to identify the different household parts in the photos. Is that a multimeter on his chest?

Re: An Engaging Box for that Engagement Occasion

Matt Richardson — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:56:35 -0000

What a great idea, to fill the grooves with stones and powder and then sand it down. I've never seen that before.

I love the inventive design of the mechanics. It's amazing how making and music are so complementary.

Fantastic to read about another community of makers in Israel! For those of us that don't speak Hebrew, there is English closed captioning on the video. I had to turn it on manually.

Re: Modifying an Xbox One Controller Thumbsticks for Muscular Dystrophy

This is fantastic. One detail that might help others: What's the best method for finding the solder points for adding external buttons? I presume you guess-and-check with a multimeter in continuity mode?
