NEW PRODUCT – Right Angle USB cable
http://www.adafruit.com/product/1318
NEW PRODUCT – Right Angle USB cable – A/MicroB – This here is your standard A to micro-B USB cable, for USB 1.1 or 2.0, but with a twist! Literally! Instead of the cable coming straight out from the connector, there’s a right angle bend. We thought this might make a good pair for a Raspberry Pi as the cable doesn’t stick out as far. We got cables with extra-beefy 24 AWG power wires, and 28 AWG data lines, so it’s particularly good for power-hungry devices like micro-computers and phones.
Approximately 5 feet / 1.5 meter long
In stock and shipping now!

NEW PRODUCT – SMT Breakout PCB for 48-QFN or 48-TQFP – 3 Pack!
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1377
NEW PRODUCT – SMT Breakout PCB for 48-QFN or 48-TQFP – 3 Pack! – Beguiled by a fancy new chip that is only available in a QFP or QFN pinout? This breakout PCB set will make your life much much easier and get you prototyping faster than ever. One side has a 48-QFP pin out with traces going to two rows of 0.1″ spaced holes, the other has 48-QFN (7mm body). Solder your chip to either side and you’re ready to rock on any solderless breadboard. There’s even a THM pad on the opposite side of the QFN body pad so you can fill it with solder for a heat sink and/or connect a wire to it (say when the pad must be grounded).
Each item comes with three PCBs, each PCB is identical and can support either a 7mm square QFP or 7mm square QFN chip. Standard thickness PCBs, with 0.7″ spacing be... more »

NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 30 LED -1m
http://www.adafruit.com/product/1376
NEW PRODUCT – Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherproof Strip 30 LED -1m – You thought it couldn’t get better than our world-famous 32-LED-per-meter Digital LED strip (http://adafruit.com/products/306) but we will prove you wrong! These NeoPixel strips have 30 digitally-addressable pixel LEDs per meter and are very affordable and are only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing.
There are some things to watch for:
• These LED’s use about 9.5 Watts max (~2 Amps @ 5V) per meter. The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is about 1/3 to 1/2 the max current. A good power supply such as our 5V 2A or 10A supply is key!
• To make the strip thin and easier... more »

Tutorial: BeagleBone Black: Installing Operating Systems @ The Adafruit Learning System
http://learn.adafruit.com/beaglebone-black-installing-operating-systems
The BeagleBone Black includes a 2GB on-board eMMC flash memory chip. It comes with the Angstrom distribution factory pre-installed. You can flash new operating systems including Debian, Ubuntu, Android, and others. The following pages will illustrate the steps to getting the latest of each type of supported distribution onto the on-board eMMC.
In addition to the eMMC, you can also boot directly from a microSD card similarly to the original BeagleBone.
We’re starting out with instructions for Angstrom, but hope to add to it in the future! If you don’t have a BeagleBone Black yet, you can add your name to the list to be notified for when we get them back in stock.

Check out these 3D Rendered Fractals!
Artist Tom Beddard meticulously rendered these 3D fractals attached here. We can’t tell whether they’re real, imaginary, or well, in the matrix…so why should you and why does it matter? via butdoesitfloat. …and from Beddard himself:
"I have a fascination with the aesthetics of detail and complexity that is the result of simple mathematical or algorithmic processes. For me the creative process is writing my own software and scripts to explore the resulting output in an interactive manner. The best outcomes are often the least expected!"

Bacterial self portraits by Erno-Erik Raitanen via Gizmodo:
"I have gathered the bacteria samples from my own body. The bacteria consumed the film surface producing photographic images that are entirely created by a chance. I have been removed from the process but, at the same time, the images are a product of my body; self-portraits."

Check out "Lucy Skull" by Mike Pelletier! (via jwz)
"In 2011 I was invited to create a piece for an exhibition called “Ctrl-Z” curated by 3d artist Eric Van Straaten. This was a group exhibition of artworks created by various 3d printing processes.
"The model of the skull was generated from a friend’s dental tomography scan. The form of the object was created by creating an array of copies of the skull, where each successive copy of the skull is scaled, rotated, and moved. The skull starts at life size at the front and ends up rotated 180 degrees and two times larger than life at the back."

Did you make it to Maker Faire Bay Area this year?
Do you wish you did?
Check out this article from LATimes.com titled "Why Maker Faire may be Silicon Valley’s most important export":
"This weekend I attended the eighth annual Maker Faire with my son in San Mateo, Calif. The Maker Faire and the Maker Movement have gotten so large, it’s easy to take them for granted. In fact, after going four straight years, I almost skipped this year until my son begged me to go.
"I’m glad he talked me into it. From the moment we walked into the Maker Faire and saw an art car covered with robotic fish and lobsters moving to the sounds of punk rock, I was glad to be there.
"There was no one, jaw-dropping thing that struck me this year. Rather, what hit me was how much I see and hear about these things when I’m not at the Maker Faire. The greatest ... more »

My second handmade watch strap.
This time made from scratch, 100% handmade. I think this one turned out much better than my previous one, straighter stitching, straight holes cleaner cuts, and just better feel since the leather was a bit thicker.
The leather I got from e-bay from someone selling smaller pieces, I'd like to make some blue leather straps next.
Took a few pictures of the process, enjoy.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/05/18/business/method-to-desk-madness.html
Even the most modular, bland work space tends to succumb to the tastes or personality of its inhabitant. How can it not? The average office worker spends nearly six hours a day sitting at a desk. In the first of an occasional column, we take a close look at how successful people organize their work spaces. Their answers have been edited and condensed.

Arduino IDE 1.0.5 is released
http://blog.arduino.cc/2013/05/18/arduino-ide-1-0-5-is-released/
We’re happy to announce the release of a new version of the Arduino software, version 1.0.5. Barring any unexpected bugfixes, this is the final planned release of the 1.0 series of the IDE. Future releases will be from the 1.5 branch that has been in beta since last summer.
With that excitement out of the way, let’s get to the new features :
New library import functionality to install libraries directly from a .zip file in the IDE. You can see more information about this on the installing 3rd party libraries page.
A Windows installer, which will hopefully streamline the process of setting up the IDE and drivers.
Windows signed drivers. This means Windows 8 will no longer prevent you from installing Arduino drivers.
The application is signed for OSX 10.8... more »

NEW PRODUCTS – Standalone Momentary and Toggle Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakouts
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1374
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1375
NEW PRODUCT – Standalone Momentary Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakout – This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single “momentary” capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here – just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor.
When a capacitive load is detected (e.g. a person touches the sensor-pad area) the red LED lights up and the output pin goes high. You can also solder a wire to the middle pad and create your own capacitive pad if the built-in one isn’t suited to your project.
If you want to save power, the LED can be disconnected from the output pin (cut the trace between the jumper marked as such). We designed this breakout... more »
