Mark Waid, Editor-in-Chief of Boom! Studios and writer of tons of notable past comic book work(including a current story arc in Amazing Spider-Man), has been generous enough to agree to do a chat with me where I will ask him questions submitted to me by you, the fans.

Mostly anything goes, question-wise. The only criteria is whether I like the question or not, so don’t bother asking belligerent questions or anything like that, because I won’t be passing those along.

Everyone else, send your questions to bcronin@comicbookresources.com.

The University of Vermont has a really interesting project on their Alternative Energy Racing Organization [AERO] page. Be sure to check out the "Green Innovation" page for a lot more information on the build.

Our primary focus is Project GreenSpeed, an effort to build a race car for entry in the annual International Formula-Hybrid competition sponsored by IEEE and SAE. For us, it is an opportunity to demonstrate the efficacy of non-traditional drive-systems for mobility engineering and get to drive fast at the same time.

From the Make Flickr Pool:

Erik has created a nice collection of PCBs for Arduino. They are part of a larger project for the Machine Collective.

In spite of all the smart, multifunctional and state-of-the-art controllers that are commercially available today, there is a continuous demand for custom physical interfaces and configurable controllers. When using development platforms such as Arduino a lot of people will end up with great applications and a breadboard full of components and wires.

This so called "physical interface prototype" isn't exactly portable, nor suitable for use during a live performance, in a studio environment or as part of an interactive installation. Some people are great with electronics and software, but when it comes to constructing an enclosure they run into problems. Lack of supplies, suitable tools and DIY-skills are common reasons why many projects just end up in a "temporary" cardboard case or never even get past the breadboarding stage.

Erik writes:

The Pcb's shown are ment to expand the arduino from inputs / outputs, in the form of a shield in a easy without having to breadboard. The ones not mentioned yet are a Arduino Relay Shield with a Arduino Relaycontrol Shield, the 32 digital-in Shield and a 32 digital out Shield.
Nothing especially that I have in mind. Off course I have some ideas what to do with them, which is use the shields in as inputs with the MachineCollective modules.

For a sneak-preview take a look at the physical-computing.nl, here you find still in a big beta-phase the website, where I will hopefully soon can put a some tests and store for these shields.

What projects have you created with Arduino? What is the best way to get started? Do you have ideas on improving physical interface issues with projects that you or the people around you have done? Post your ideas/solutions/frustrations in the comments and upload pictures and video to the Make Flickr pool.

"The government supporters are very, very upset. The climate is very volatile and both sides have been known to use violence against each other. It's a highly dangerous situation."/ppBritons caught by the shutdown of Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International airport a week ago told of their fears over the political turmoil, and mounting frustrations over their inability to find a way to leave the country./ppBut one glimmer of hope came as the international airport today reopened to cargo flights, reducing the economic impact of lost export earnings, estimated to be £53m daily./ppDemonstrators for the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy, who invaded Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang to demand the government quit and Somchai step down, were overjoyed when they heard the verdict./pp"My heart is happy," said Pailin Jampapong, 41, choking back tears of joy among the throng at Suvarnabhumi. "My friends are very happy."/ppImmediately after the decision to disband the PPP, Machima Thipatai and Chart Thai parties, Somchai said he would abide by the rule of law and stand aside, describing it as "not a problem. I was not working for myself. Now I will be a full-time citizen."/ppBut the ruling that bans Somchai and 36 party executives and MPs does not prevent the PPP rump reforming. They immediately signalled they would move to the new party of Puea Thai (For Thailand) - a measure not barred by the constitution./ppThe former minister Jakrapob Penkair, a close confidante of the ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, said the court's decision came as no surprise. "Our members are determined to move on and we will form a government again out of the majority that we believe we still have," he said./ppBut Giles Ungpakorn, a political scientist at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, accused the "fascist Pad", judges and the monarchist-military elite in the capital of staging a "judicial coup" to rob the rural poor government supporters of their rights./pp"The majority of the Thai population, who are poor, face a double whammy," he said. "First, the elite royalists are doing everything possible to take away their basic democratic rights. Secondly, mass job losses are occurring among workers in the tourist industry as a result of the airport blockade. The Pad protesters are middle-class extremists who don't have to go to work."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/thailand"Thailand/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/SGJm_pjvkSjlpsey6JBrvpzIE2w/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/SGJm_pjvkSjlpsey6JBrvpzIE2w/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

Revision3's own Daniel just couldn't sit idly by watching portable N64 after portable N64 pass him by while doing nothing, so he decided to gut his own console and shove it into a battery-powered unit that can be taken practically anywhere. Sure, it's one thing to read through a step-by-step guide that you barely understand, but it's another to see the whole process broken down for you on video. Check the read link for the perfect holiday project, and yes, you can actually play the re-gift card here and not got scorned.
