What is Making?
If anyone asks you what SW Makers or makers in general do, take them to this article from Make,

There are some great examples of "making" there. not just the typical electronics but some crafty stuff as well.

Re: My Felix is on the way.

I had to do the tweeter holder 3 times before I managed to get something worth keeping. I assume the led bar is for a work light? I'm using a torch at the ...

Re: My Felix is on the way.

Getting exciting now, just the last of the wiring to do tomorrow, the calibrating it and I might even get to print something...

Which browser are you using?
I do most of my posting in Safari in the Mac and on the iPad, so autocorrect "fixes" the typos.
A quick google didn't show up a mod to spell check posts.
