Celebrating Raspberry Pi’s Birthday with Cake

Raspberry-pi-cake
The photo above beautifully combines two things I really like a lot: Raspberry Pi and cake. To celebrate the Raspberry Pi’s first birthday, our friends at Element-14 presented an enormous Raspberry Pi-shaped cake to Pete Lomas from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Andrew Robinson, the creator of the PiFace. Element-14, one of the official distributors of the popular development board, also awarded them the community award for most innovative product while at Embedded World Conference. Congratulations and enjoy the cake!

    Happy Birthday to you PI, or wait or is it, weren’t you born on a leap year?
    oh well I love this product, there are so many use cases for it, from gaming to web browsing to using it with xbmc software and if you have a smart phone device you can control it as well. the only down side that i have with the devise is that i would like to see a 1Gig Ethernet port with it, i am sure that they will be making a model that might have that.

    I have a small un-boxing and First Impressions video if anyone is also interested in see this device.

    cheers,

    ScareCorp

MAKE Asks: Roadside Hacks

I'll be the first to admit I haven't maintained these saws very well. Mea Culpa. But here's the take away: the longer one is a rip saw. Use it to cut along the grain. The shorter one is a cross-cut saw. Use it to cut across the grain.
