My New Book Is Available for Purchase

I finally took the plunge into the world of Self Publishing by writing the book entitled: PROTOTYPE: Ideas and Concepts for Sci-Tech Projects & Robo-Gadgets. The book is a compilation of all my blogs starting with September 19th, 2005 and running to September 23, 2008. The 211 page color book consists of my ideas and concepts on Personal Fabrication using off the shelf electronics, the LEGO NXT, the Handy Cricket, the PICAXE microcontroller, and junk box electronics. I like to think of my blog as inner thoughts to DIY using electronics technology. I'm an advocate for adult and children engineering education as discussed in my blogs on visits to my kids elementary and high schools. I've also included both eZCIRCUITs for the LEGO NXT and the Handy Cricket Robo- Projects, my ITT Tech electronics lab projects and a wealth of web resources for personal education and tech investigations. This book is quite unique in terms of its format and electronics DIY projects. Drop by the Store and click on the link to order either the soft cover print or ebook version. I plan on self-publishing my LEGO NXT Mechatronics books in the middle to latter part of 2009 as well as mini tech books on electronics, robotics, and physical computing technologies. Enjoy!!!
