Thumbs Up for SparkFun Electronics
This is an unsolicited bit of praise for SparkFun Electronics, an online store that sells all sorts of cool stuff for electronics experimentation. They have a nice selection of microprocessor prototype boards including some from European companies like Olimex, some nifty LED arrays and LCDs with serial interfaces, robot parts, tools, etc. Their site also has fun stuff some great tutorials on soldering surface-mount parts by hand and photos of projects they’ve done just for the helluvit, as well as some active discussion forums in support of the stuff they sell and related topics. Most remarkable of all (to me): they’re about a mile from my house! I picked up my first order today; it certainly won’t be my last order.
