A "Minty Boost" is a portable, battery-powered alternative to charging your electronic devices via your devices USB charging cord.

All the electronics and 2 AA batteries fit inside an Altoids gum tin so you can carry one in your purse/suitcase or leave one in the car for emergency situations. From two full batteries, you should be able to recharge an iPod at least 1.5 times!

I have tons of these DIY kits leftover from an electronics workshop that I taught. You can buy a kit from me for $20 flat (same price as buying online but no shipping!) which includes all of the electronics components. Kits can be put together in under an hour. Note that kits do NOT include a tin, USB cables, or batteries.

For $35, I will assemble one for you and put it in an unique, rockin' tin (as you can see below, I got myself a Napoleon Dynamite candy tin) or a regular Altoid gum tin.

Please email pearl(at)karma-laboratory(dot)com to arrange a pick up at my studio close to Queen and Bathurst.

BONUS OFFER: Maybe you want to put one together yourself but don't know anything about soldering or electronics?? For $50, you supply the tin and I will supply 1 hour of studio time and offer assistance in turning you into a Minty Boost soldering master! :)

Launched a new blog the other week where I will be dumping most of my Android development thoughts... along with some funny videos here and there. :)

My first compiled Android app, originally uploaded by karmagirl.

My first compiled Android application!!

I look forward to working on the Android platform for many reasons but I love that it's Java so it'll look a lot like AS3/Flex code -- just gotta keep my prefix and post-colon type declaration syntax straight! ;)

This is my entry for a FREE FITC ticket that the organizers are giving away to the first 100 female submitters.

I thought that I would make a Flash movie that dynamically loaded in some words and memories I have of FITC past (but starting only with the letters F,I,T, and C, of course) to show why I love going to FITC every year.

I was digging through some old work and found the slides for my FlashinTO presentation back in May of last year. While not comprehensive, it is quite expansive.

I also recently saw at the bookstore the book Nintendo Wii Flash Game Creator's Guide to get your Flash games playable on a Wii.

There's lots going on for Nuit Blanche tonight but I just wanted to point out that it's the last weekend for the Artillerist exhibition I worked on in August at Pixel Gallery.

Today I played the most beautiful game called Eden.
