Just recently I pulled out a couple of MintyBoost kits my son and I decided
we were going to finish once and for all. I printed the instructions on
2/12/11 from ladyada.net. My son was 14 then, he is 21 now. Regardless of
my procrastination or inability to complete things, it made me think once
again about how glad I am for Adafruit.
What you do and the way you do it is a great example to me, and gives me
hope that there are smart, hard working people who will find a way to run a
business that helps people learn and contributes positively. I know I can
always count on “Show and Tell” to lift my spirits, the weekly emails with
“Engineer of the Week” helps me see past preconceptions, and just the
general spirit that I see brightens my day.
I know I am not your best customer, but I am a huge fan and just want to let
you all know how much I appreciate you and all you do.
Have a great holiday, take care,
Brian

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.
