I saw on my facepage that i hadnt published any guides.
Does this mean that I can publish Guides?
If I can I would like to know how.

Hey randofo! I wanted to make my older bro a guitar pedal or something for Christmas and was wondering if you had any good circuits for them. He has the basics, distortion, overdrive, digital delay etc. So something really out of the ordinary would be great. Thanks!

Thanks bro!

Do you have Make: Electronics? There's a section on making a fuzz box that's pretty straightforward. It may be beneath your level as far as theory goes, but could offer some interesting jumping-off places or ideas to riff on:

I made a Christmas advent calendar guide and was wondering if you could perhaps feature it. I know this is kind of silly but I think this could really catch on. It might take a little while to finish the front image so if you do decide to feature it, wait until it's up.
Nov 15, 2011. 2:17 PMRobot Lover says:
Hey Randofo! I have a great idea! You make a lot of those weekly challenges so I figured that you would be the guy to talk to. I was thinking that we could do an advent calendar where 24 people sign up and each person has their own day. A new holiday themed instuctable is added every day until Christmas eve. I really think this is a good idea and would LOVE to see it on the front page(lol). If you have any questions or possibly don't quite understand, REPLY! Thanks!!!

Oct 1, 2011. 5:34 PMastroboy907 says:
you do realize that because of you I am trying to make my pictures better, with pure white backgrounds, good placed subject, etc. I am getting pretty good results with a white sheet, desk lamp, and photoshop levels ;)
Oct 2, 2011. 7:50 PMastroboy907 says:
Didnt know photoshop could do that (el estupido me)

Hi this is REALLY URGENT! I haven't removed it but my video for my Forbes teach me fast entry no longer shows up in the "Contest Entries" section of my user file. I edited the body text in it but I just wanted an admin to clarify that my entry has not been removed from the contest

Aha! That PENGUIN! That is the very same kind that was discovered surveying my property with binoculars one day! It whipers dark nectars of secrets into people's ears, so be careful.

Hey, Randy, I was on your website and wanted to view the "Hug me to make it stop" project. Unfortunately, the link is broken! Is there another place I can view it?
