First!
Sweet.
You may have been first, but i´m ACE!!! ;-P
FAIL!
Awesome :D
great vid.
Loved it!
Awesome!!!
meh
bahahaha! psycho death stare from 1:48-1:58.
Anyway, I love the white pants, they’re so in this summer and look great on you.
neato :) …love dyi electronics !
they’re so in?are you really a male?
FAIL
Are you gay? Who looks at peoples pants when watching videos like this.
haha XD
I think this is commonly referred too as the “Ironic Fail”. An “Ironic Fail” is achieved when one person calls out another, on thier attempt to achieve their own goal. But in this attempt they themselves ironically fail, because the original goal was in fact reached, instead of the failed attempt they are referring too. So thusly, you are the one who has failed. FAIL! Hahahahaha =D
2 kb of RAM, DANG!!!!
Is Ellie pregnant? I hope not…
The opening 2 shot is so PC verus Mac.
70 bucks for that clock you’ll have to build yourself ?
I’d say it’s about right for a kit like that, including that VERY fancy and hard-to-find tube. Besides, there’s totally value in DIY kits that you don’t get from the same product as a ready-made.
good stuff …
Awesome stuff.
Subscribed to adafruit. Moar exactly like this pls.
[...] Rocketboom Tech correspondent Ellie Rountree visits engineer and founder of Adafruit Industries, Limor Fried (Ladyada) to talk about our DIY open source electronic kits! Filed under: announce — by adafruit, posted August 31, 2009 at 10:52 am [...]
What is that payphone is doing there?
awesome
Rocketboom brings rocket science down to earth like the kids inthe movie “October Sky” which is and anagram of Rocket Boys. This is better than that new SyFy network that is related to what? Keep the techno coming for us gadget geeks.
Power Supply doesn’t generate power. It modifies the power output from the 60Hz 120V wall outlet to whatever it is you need.
Why? Are you trying to shirk parental responsibility?
@sonic - the payphone is a project that was not featured in the video, you can check it out at http://www.citizenengineer.com we show how to turn a payphone in to a regular home phone and then hack it even more :)
Ms Gadget?
awesome
Considered the proprietary dullness underlying the usual feud between Mac and PC zealots I can hardly believe that the concept of Creative Commons License is so widely known that to post a link to it is redundant.

Amazing Tech !!!
I built a mintyboost a few months back. It is useless for an iPhone 3G, and it almost burned my house down… Great otherwise though. :)
lol yes male, not gay. I went to Hong Kong for 1 year. It made me more fashion-conscious.
Wait… I just realized, this is a video about DIY electronic kits, not white pants. How embarrassing.
I think she was trying to keep it simple… and i guess you missed that.
That altoids charger is pretty cool. I don’t get all the technical stuff, but I like that charger for sure.
1:54 look at her eyes
LMFAO TO THE SEVEN SKIES
moar like Mac vs Linux amirite
This girl is such a nerd, I love it! I wish more girls were like her.
What is the one at 0:06?
Pong
Thanks, but is it actually on the site? I couldn’t find it.
does adafruit have a youtube channel?
You’re not very good at the Internet, are you?
lol nope….but i did find her channel. they do a great electronic comic book that comes with a sim
haha holy shit
She’s hot
I love Adafruit

1.54 the presenters eyes go really wide haha
haha ya, i noticed that. She looked like she had never heard of Ghz like she was talking greek.
It’s Ladyada!
Err, Ghz? She was talking about disk (or RAM/ROM) space.
wooooow!
Wonderful video, so enjoyed this. Theres not a hope in hell i could make any of this stuff but it is such a great idea. ROCKETBOOM wins again :)
is that CIA super-duper secret laboratory staff?))))
This is really good company and amazing way to think electronics.
Well, Caniarlo, RAM has processing speeds too, although I can make no claim to fully understanding them, just check the full specs of a particular bit of RAM.
Ugh, I hate open source, it’s like getting a patent, selling your product, and then releasing your patent out to anyone that want’s to see it, it’s so stupid. I’d rather pay for the software than have the source code out there available for anyone to look at and draw exploits from.
That makes my TVBG so much more worth it!
love this - awesome
I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on her oscilloscopes!
(note to self, write down better pick up lines)
exploits for open source hardware?
and it’s just as easy to find exploits in open source software as it is to fix them. So if anyone releases an exploit for for example Debian the next day you will get a patch
Zero-day exploits, when someone finds one, they don’t release it, then no one else knows about it. Or they only release it within their group.
As far as hardware goes, all you need is the schematic to study it and replicate it, why would you want to release that to everyone?
What is with girls and lip rings?
woops commented in a hurry. Good catch
LOL @ 1:52
There was such a hotness difference there is was causing some kind of cupidian wind!
that girl looks kinky

Thanks Ellie, cool interview very interesting.
Thank you Ellie and Rocketboom for reporting on emerging businesses like Adafruit. You guys fill a niche that the major news outlets fail at. That is, you understand the future. Thanks again.
“YOU GUNNA GET RAPED”
Absolutely kewl!
Kudos to you, Limor!
Now, to check out your site and more about you.
UU
for tingly blow jobs
I KNOW! I laughed at that too.
1:54, what’s with her eyes!? it’s like she wants to murder her!
Why doesn’t Ellie just anchor? She has done lots of reporting it makes no sense to bring in a new anchor person rather than promote an existing employee or project member.
1:47
lol look at Ellie’s face. She has no idea what the other person is talking about. lol.
She is here just because she looks hot!
Creepy stare! 1:48
Girl on the right is hot!
Yeah, she looked as if she had an unintentional brainfart, was caught offgaurd, and quickly hoped Limor didn’t hear it, let alone smell it. that or she had a quick out of body experience.
I would love to know what’s going through Ellie’s mind at 1:49.
@OmegaGraham
Too much botox imo.
Oh… my… god… I’m so incredibly stupid compared to this hot geek girl.
Also check out 2:02, 2:49, and 2:56 for additional deer-in-the-headlights/death stare incidents.
So what, if he’s gay?
lol, Canada rocks!
