News flash: Hardhack is running the Hardware Hacking Area at Toorcamp this year, which takes place on the Washington coast in just under three weeks! (The dates are August 8-12, 2012, and tickets are still available.)
I’ll be running two Geiger Counter Workshops. Come build a Geiger Counter kit!
I’ll have the Geiger Counter ambient music synth I built for Maker Faire set up, and we can all scout for fallout from Fukushima arriving at the campsite! Whoohoo!
A quick update: As of last Saturday night I am no longer taking orders for kits.
The easiest way to do this was to remove all inventory from Paypal’s online ordering system, so if you try to place an order you will get the dreaded “out of stock” error message.
Fear not!
Geiger Counter kits are still available through my distributors (click each logo to visit the corresponding product page):
HV Rescue Shields are available from:
A huge thanks to everyone who took advantage of last week’s special pricing on Geiger Counter kits. Enjoy your new kit! (And if you need help getting it working, I’ll still be monitoring the support forums, so ask your questions there.)
Thanks again!

The Maker Faire Bay Area is this weekend (May 19 & 20th) at the San Mateo County Event Center.
I’ll be in the Maker Shed selling Geiger Counter kits. I’ll be doing a demo on Saturday at 6PM in the Shed and will also be giving a presentation about finding radioactivity in everyday objects on the Make: Demo stage in Expo Hall on Sunday at 2PM.
Stop by and say hello!
This week only, $99.95 gets you a Geiger Counter kit with sensitive SBM-20 Geiger tube and a clear acrylic case.
Thanks to everyone who has been taking advantage of the reduced pricing on Geiger Counter kits this week, there are just a handful left in stock.
If you’ve been holding out on placing an order, now might be a good time. There’s a fair chance that I’ll run out of kits before I close the online store at midnight tomorrow (CDT).
PS: There are still some HV Rescue Shields in stock as well.
Update: I have been asked if I am closing up shop permanently – hopefully not! I plan to reopen the online store after I move to Seattle, but my new day job might slow down the process a bit. I’ll post updates as I get settled.
The Austin Mini Maker Faire is this weekend!
This is the first Make: sponsored event we’ve had since the “big” Faire in 2008. It’s being held at the Pine Street Station in East Austin (5th and Waller).
I’ll be there checking out all of the cool exhibits, including the soldering workshops being run by my friends at the ATX Hackerspace.

See you there!
