Laptop etchasketch – Gizmodo.

 

Anything that combines retro-toys with tech gets my stamp of approval. And – especially because the Etch-A-Sketch hasn’t change the main font of their name since forever ago – I have a soft spot for that analog wonder. Arduino + Etch-A-Sketch makes me wish that I completed more than three of the 160-in-1 electrontic projects in that kit my parents gave me in the 80′s with the hopes that I’d understand all this “computer stuff” and take care of them in their old age. But I digress. Techno-mashups like this are simply inspiring.
