If anything, you're getting out there and learning, and that's one of the most important parts.</p> <p>Anyways, enjoy the show!</p> <p>PS-- Oh yea! Don't forget to try out my dad's MiniPOV helper app.. You can use it to help make graphics for your MiniPOV, or you can just make something and save it for others to see. <a href="/minipov">Click here to give it a go!</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"> <h3 class="field-label">Tags&nbsp;</h3> <span class="field-items"> <a href="/tags/adafruit" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Adafruit</a>, <a href="/tags/electronics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">electronics</a>, <a href="/tags/led" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">led</a>, <a href="/tags/minipov" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">MiniPOV</a>, <a href="/tags/soldering" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">soldering</a>, <a href="/tags/programming" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">programming</a> </span> </div> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 04:58:37 +0000 Super-Awesome Sylvia 15 at http://sylviashow.com http://sylviashow.com/blog/sylvia/2011/02/22/minipovs-are-fun-make-and-even-more-fun-hack#comments
