The ODROID-U is a $69 Exynos-powered, Raspberry Pi-eating dev board | Chips Hardkernel’s $129 ODROID-X is a powerful little development board, but the price tag might be a little off-putting for some. Now the company’s offering two new models at price points that are little bit closer to Raspberry Pi territory: the ODROID-U and ODROID-U2. The base model sells for just $69, and it features the same quad-core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 processor found in some Galaxy S3 variants. It’s got 1GB of RAM, an eMMC connector and microSD slot for storage, two USB 2.0 ports, integrated 10/100 Ethernet, a micro HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It measures about two inches square, making the ODROID-U series about half the width of the Raspberry Pi. For an extra $20 you can step up to the ODROID-U2 (insert your own geeky Bono joke here). Both prices include worldwide shipping and one other nice little bonus. The ODROID-U2 and ODROID-U will begin shipping on December 21 and January 16 respectively. ODroid, via CNX Software

Studios Magazine Feature June 25th, 2012 After four years of sharing a one-room studio with my husband, our many tools and supplies slowly multiplied until they were stacked in piles around the room. The current issue of Studios Magazine, published by Cloth Paper Scissors, includes photos and an article describing our upgraded studio space. Our main storage problem was solved with open shelving from Ikea and a selection of bins and boxes from the Container Store. The opposite wall of the studio is where do all of our computer work. If you get the chance, check out the Summer 2012 issue of Studios Magazine online or at your local bookstore! Thanks to Ben Schlitter for taking all of these great photos. Butterfly Scales
