I hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day! I guess it's time to start thinking about decorating some eggs if you're into that sort of thing. That's where the Egg-Bot might come in! With this kit from Evil Mad Science you can make your very own.
The Eggbot is an open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects from the size of a ping pong ball to that of a small grapefruit-- roughly 1.25 to 4.25 inches in diameter (3 - 10 cm).

I picked up these cardboard Eco Nation DIY Universal Eco Speakers tonight while I was out and they're pretty neat! They're made from 70% post consumer recycled material. The sound quality isn't perfect but they'll make great emergency backup speakers. I can hardly wait to decorate them. :)

I was checking out the Craftzine blog today and saw that they had made a post about this Soft Circuit Merit Badge from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. I'm a big fan of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories (seriously, check it out!) so I thought I'd share this one (and also make note of it for myself so that I can make it later). This is a little sad but as a kid I loved the idea of merit badges, awards and even special stickers so naturally I'm all over this soft circuit merit badge!
I see a lot of room for creativity with this project and I'm thinking I should make one!
