OK. My birthday is June 5th. This year I will be 35 years old. I want a toy for my birthday. It’s name is Chumby. Some people use it as an alarm clock, an internet radio, or a picture frame. Some people dress it up. Some people write their own widgets. Some people turn it into something else altogether.
I like the brown one. kthxbai.

try to be in as less contact as possible with anything your soldering, i dont mean rush or anything, or be quick and not make a good contact.
I recently purchased this little guy from Beastlie’s Etsy shop. She has an incredible Flickr set with pix of dozens of her creations. I originally found out about these little dudes on Drawn! Alas, Beebs will have to go with my collection of toys hidden away from my four year old. Hopefully he will see daylight before I’m 40.
