More late notice news! (Yeah, I know... I'm real bad at updating this blog on a regular basis.)
I'll be at InterAccess tomorrow for their open house event and I'll be giving a short talk about (fly)light with an introduction to making LED matrices, programming PIC chips, and finally serial communications with Processing. So more or less, everything I know about electronics. :)
More info about the other open house events below. (I'm in bold.)
