We've posted a gift guide! And BlueSMiRF makes an appearance with the Canadian authorities.
We've got a cool motion tracking project, a bunch of new products, and a reminder that the RoboJoust is just around the corner!
We're back to work and we've got more new: AVC 2010 now open, Vegas video, new robot competition, sensor kit, Simon PTH kit, motor driver, new robot kits, temperature sensor, MSP430F249, 7-segment display controller and a TFT128 ScreenKey development board.
SparkFun is closing today at noon due to a winter storm moving through the front-range.

SparkFun will be at the HerWorld Conference this week and next week is Free Sticker Week! Plus we have a smattering of new products, including the next AVC!
