Arduino Nerf sentry gun build: Secondary Arduino enclosure
I showed the enclosure for the primary Arduino in the previous post in my Arduino Nerf sentry gun build series. This is the enclosure for the secondary Arduino — the one that drives the MotorShield to sweep the Nerf gun back and forth. It’s a Chameleon Enclosure that I slightly modified with a nibbler so I could drop the board low enough to fit the Arduino , MotorShield , and ScrewShield .

Amazon’s Kindle Finally Hits Android [After Already Having Been released for the iPhone and BlackBerrys, Kindle Finally Makes its Way to Android]
It seems like it was just yesterday that the very first Kindle eBook reader from Amazon.com was released to market.

New Windows Live Hotmail Is Official & Really Hot [Microsoft Challenges Google & Apple with Hot New Hotmail Client]
Google’s Gmail application is my favorite Google product after Google Search (we can’t really browse the Internet without that Search engine) and I’ll be the first to recommend Google Mail to you both as a personal and as a professional email client. In fact Google is so good at getting new features out that with Gmail in place you’ll probably not require another email client again.

Deluxe dead-drop spike in solid stainless steel
