Arduino boards are very cool little system boards that let you do all sorts of cool electronics tricks by adding a few sensors and writing some code on your PC or Mac. Now theere is the Adruino Nano, a board that packs in the power of the Arduino Diecimila into something the size of a stick of gum.

The board is based on the ATmega168 and has 16 I/O pits, 6 analog inputs, a USB jack, and most of that means nothing to me since I stopped building my on electronics when I realized resistors came in multiple colors. My buddy Paul is really great at this stuff so maybe I’ll have him make me a tele-dildonics kit.
