One of the DIY sites I’ve been enjoying recently is Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. They’ve just released a couple of cool “Low-cost open-source holiday project kits,” namely a Micro-Readerboard Ornament Kit and an LED Mini Menorah Kit. Both are US$5 ea. with flat $5 shipping on all orders. These look like fun, quick projects that’d make perfect el cheapo gifties for budding wireheads.
I love how the Ornament kit has a pull-down for “Original: Includes the F-word,” and “Sanitized.” “I’ve had it with these mother-fing elves on this mother-fing sleigh!” No, it doesn’t say that, it says: “Merry F-ing Christmas” (or not). Does the evil mad scientist kiss his mother with that mouth?
