Consumer Electronics Show 2012. My New Year’s message « reDesign. My 3-year-old niece Elena with a message to you. If you’d told me at the beginning of 2011 that I’d be returning to my journalism roots and appearing regularly on CNBC and Bloomberg TV, I never would’ve believed it. 2011 was a crazy year. It was full of many highs and lows, sometimes at the same time. The highs were public, the lows have largely been private. I spent a lot of 2011 feeling like I was living someone else’s life. I was supposed to go on CNBC for an interview, but didn’t have a jacket pressed. I re-discovered what makes Silicon Valley a truly magical place: the people. There’s a list just as long of amazing people I couldn’t meet in 2011 because of scheduling issues, but hope to meet in 2012. Silicon Valley isn’t perfect by any means. Here are the trends that I see in the upcoming years: Continued focus on the integration of online and offline commerce. I’ll be writing about these things and more in 2012.
Thanks for reading and engaging with me in 2011. Happy New Year! Teague. Teagueduino: Learn to Make by Teague. Teagueduino is an open source electronic board and interface that allows you to realize creative ideas without soldering or knowing how to code, while teaching you the ropes of programming and embedded development (like arduino). Teagueduino is designed to help you discover your inner techno-geek and embrace the awesomeness of making things in realtime — even if you’ve only ever programmed your VCR.
Teagueduino makes making things really simple. Want to build a light-controlled alarm clock? A harmonic music generator or a light that changes color based on temperature? How about a magnetic field meter or a robotic frog? These are just a few of the things that have been created so far, and with integrated project sharing you can always share your work or see the latest things being built as you go! Just plug in a sensor to one of the input ports (for example, a knob), hook up an output device (a speaker, perhaps?)
