Thanks for making the MAKE video cast. Your enthusiasm and love for making is inspiring. I've been a crafty person all my life, my whole family are crafty people. I'm actually 1/3 owner of a yarn store in Lansing, Michigan. I've always been interested in electronics, but thought the task of learning how to make something would be too daunting. Then last summer someone suggested the MAKE podcast to me and I was inspired. I picked up an electronics learning lab (the radio shack one) from ebay and it also came with an great collection of extra ICs, relays, switches, resistors, etc. A little while later I picked up my first PIC, a Picaxe 08M. It's a great, cheap, chip and as a bonus it is programmed using Basic which I know already. I still have a lot to learn, but because of the MAKE video cast and Makezine.com, I am learning electronics instead of dreaming I could.
