		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about this simple poking mechanism for over two years now, but I never actually spent the time to build it. Now it&#8217;s a thing of the past! I took 3-4 hours later yesterday and this morning to make this first iteration out of foamcore, cardboard, pins and hot glue. I used three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just received my Flexinol Deluxe kit, a box full of samples and little experiments to discover the great world of shape memory alloys (SMA). I have been fiddling with this stuff before but I never got farther than the regular &#8220;amazing spring&#8221; setup: you stretch a spring beyond its point of deformation, then if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an iteration following part 1 and part 2 of the tangible compass project. The focus of this revision is an excuse to get my hands dirty with Arduino and a N810. Following the good instructions from Dave Vondle at IDEO, I was up and running quickly with an Arduino talking directly to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main component for this little experiment is a HMC6343 compass module with tilt compensation (from Honeywell, datasheet). This little IC is great because you can tilt and hold it on the side and the heading will be right. Regular compass modules just failed when there are not totally held flat. I help some colleagues [...]]]></description>
