[Dragonfly DIY] What the HECK is an Arduino and what can I do with one?

I thought it would be good to do a quick video on what the Arduino is and why it's so exciting to makers and hobbyists.

Sorry this goes on for > 10 minutes. I show the old Atmel STK500 development board, the bog standard Arduino, a couple of minis including a Leonardo compatible, a mega, a colorduino application-specific Arduino clone, a variety of shields and sensors.

[Dragonfly DIY] A quick lamp repair

A friend at work had a broken crafting lamp. It took about 20 minutes to design a replacement part. I threw it up on Youmagine, though it's probably relatively unlikely that anyone will need it.
