DIT: Raising Our Collective Barn
I have a friend who started using the term DIT (“do it together”) instead of DIY, and I love the notion.

Follow up: “Real” Operation Game – Wearable Electronics
I posted a few old “wearable” projects yesterday, one of them I left out because I couldn’t find the files (and it was a bad idea) – but I found them today. It’s “Real Operation”.
