we covered the plastic bugs project back in june http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/06/dittybot_itunes.html since we have more readers and new people now, it's usually a good idea to post some of the new efforts so folks can check it out. that said, i'll try and include the past link (i was on slow modem-like speeds in the car) so i could get to that.
