The International Museum of Women's Women on the Map! allows you to pay tribute to the women who have made a difference in your life. You go to the site, enter in the woman's name you want to celebrate, her location, and email, and write about her. The result is a powerful visual representation of the vast, change-making impact women have on our world. Taking part is easy! To get started on your entry, click on their website, here.

Mr. ArduinoFun has posted a really great tutorial for the electronic seamstress on Instructables. The concept, based Ethan Dicks from theFusefactory.org's emergent Sheep Sculpture project, is a scarf that detects when you are near your loved one.

Aloha! I am posting from the beautiful island of Kauai today where I am celebrating the wedding of my friends Julia Howe and Dekker Dryer. Julia came to me a few months ago and asked me to design her wedding dress with one special feature, it had to light up. Of course, I jumped at the chance to make a lighed wedding dress!

We love hugs, even if it is sent to you remotely through a piece of clothing.

This week, Cute Circuit, showed their Hug Shirt at the Mobile World Congress where apparently the Minister for Trade and Investment, Lord Mervyn Davies, received a tele-hug that was transmitted across the conference space.

His smile upon receiving the hug says it all.
