We just posted a bunch more lab sessions in the Make: Science Room, including a Forensics section on fingerprinting and a Chemistry section on Colloids and Suspensions, which includes Bob’s controversial piece on how to make a “gelled sol,” aka Super Napalm B.
Halloween Memories on DudeCraft
One of my favorite websites is Paul Overton’s DudeCraft, a crafting site for guys. I was flattered when he said he was asking a bunch of well-known bloggers to share their Halloween stories and he asked me. Here’s my piece.

Make: Online Halloween contests

I hope you have our Make: Online Halloween contests on your radar. We’ve teamed up with Microchip, Inc. this year and are giving away Microchip products (microcontrollers, sensors, I/O boards, etc.) leading up to our big Halloween contest where we’ll be giving away nearly $1,000 worth of microcontrollers and accessories. To enter the weekly drawings, you just have to comment on the appropriate item on MAKE. To enter the big contest, you need to do a Halloween project that involves any brand of MCU, document it, and send us the deets.
Full contest details here.
