Make: Shorts - Limor Fried: Adafruit Industries


YouTube via makemagazine | December 07, 2010 |
Limor Fried aka Ladyada is the woman that brought us the x0xb0x (see this interview). See was also featured on Wired news (see this post). No synth talk in this new video but the influence on synth DIY is inherent, and of course gives us some insight to the person that created the x0xb0x.

"Limor Fried is the founder and engineer behind Adafruit Industries which makes electronics kits that teach soldering, tinkering, and technology exploration. One of their projects, the Tweet-a-Watt, is a wireless modification to a common off-the-shelf home energy monitor, the Kill-a-Watt. The Tweet-a-Watt not only monitors your energy consumption, it sends the information to Twitter so you can track it online, which reveals usage trends over time. Besides selling a Tweet-a-Watt kit, Adafruit has also put the open source plans online for all to freely build and share, creating a network of makers watching their usage and swapping energy-saving tips."
