Arduino day is just over a month away now. It’s on the 28th of March. You can find details here. My nearest event is at the South London Makerspace. So I might head over there on the day.

Technology. We all use it, we all love it. We all hate it.
So Belkin are making a lego case for the iPhone 6
I’ve been checking to see if there was one available every now and then, but I got bored of wondering so I just asked Belkin, and they told me that they are making one! Which is excellent as I’d always liked the one I had for my iPhone 5. I just hope it doesn’t take too much longer.

Pebble countdown ends at 3pm today
so not too long to wait to see whatever it is that they’re going to announce. Of course the obvious choice is a colour screen pebble smartwatch. That could be nice.
I wonder if they’ll use Kickstarter again?
IFTTT becomes IF and launches 3 new apps
I’m always interested in seeing what IFTTT do. Now they’ve become IF, or at least their main app has become IF and the interface has changed too. If that wasn’t enough though they’ve launched another three apps as well. I’m not entirely sure that I get the idea behind these three new ‘Do’ apps. Perhaps I need to spend a bit more time with them though, to really get what they’re trying to achieve.
What I’d really like to see them do is …
- Multiple accounts for a channel, so being able to use more than one twitter account
- Set times for when a channel runs, so control the frequency, like running something twice a day or every 10 minutes
- Support for chaining
Let’s see if they do anything like that.
I want one of these …
The kit is the thing …
Something new coming from pebble
On the pebble web site they’ve got a big countdown timer. Something is coming. In less than 6 days. I’m intrigued. I’m so tempted to get another pebble smart watch, but I’m trying to be patient and see what the Apple Watch is all about until I decide. So will pebble’s news, whatever it is, tip my hand early? I guess it won’t be too long to find out.
Now I have a use for this!
I’ve had this 4 port USB cassette for ages but haven’t really had a use for it up until now, so I’m so glad to have a reason to get it out and plug it in after all this time, and even more I’m so glad that I didn’t get rid of it.
Kits, kits, kits …
I picked up these excellent kits from Technology And Will Save Us at Rough Trade East. They’re lovely and I’m really looking forward to getting going with them soon.
