Matt Klinman shared with us the latest thinking in numbers. “New Numbers,” that is. Check out this Exciting New Number System:
Written, shot, edited and animated in a single day for Sketch Cram at the UCB East theater in New York City. Sketch Cram is the second Saturday of every month at midnight.

Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I guess today is April 1st, in “new numbers”?
Nah, it actually was launched on Monday, and was more in honor of Programmers Day plus “lifestyle”/quantified startups / TED talks. Klinman is a talented writer who pays a lot of attention to what is happening in tech, and has in the past put together pieces about 3D printing and wearables etc in the many venues he’s written working, like The Onion, so I felt this was a good one (if only an amusement) to share here.
There will be more pieces like these more directly linked to engineering and design in the future.
