Adafruit makes an appearance @ 2:15! A High Tech DIY Renaissance, a great video by Andy Jordan!
From hacker spaces to profitable businesses, tinkering is experiencing a renaissance. WSJ’s Andy Jordan explores some of the “stuff” people are making with new devices that encourage hacking and creativity.
Update: Here’s the article that goes along with it! “Tinkering Makes Comeback Amid Crisis“.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That’s awesome!
a.) hope you are stocked up on mintyboost parts!
b.) A million dollars? Time to order up another pick and place!
Congratulations.
thx!
“on track” to a million… please buy a kit 🙂
Very Very cool. The WSJ does some serious work when it comes to writing articles. I was featured in one summer of 2008 (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121088619095596515.html, Me and my twin are in the “interactive”) They called me about 5 times interviewing me and asking questions and gathering details about what I did, all for a little paragraph. 😉 It was very impressive though, especially when they flew someone down to TN to take pictures of us.
Congrats on the article,
…and a million dollar target!? Impressive to say the least! I will certainly buy a kit to help you reach that goal.. whenever I get money… boo hoo college student. 😉
Very cool. Even Mosfet got some screen time. On track to a million? When are we going to see Limor and Phillip cruising Manhattan in the Adafruit Ferrari? 🙂
“Electronics isn’t like a geeky loser thing! It’s a little geeky. Maybe you don’t have many friends…”
Sorry, that popped out at me and made me laugh!
Awesome to see you (and others, like Bre) on such a high profile news site.
I see you’ve done big things :).. Haven’t seen you since the “lemon” days outside Au Bon Pain. CHEERS! to your many more years of success. We’ll keep the Boston Voice Bridge open for ya 🙂
