littleBits Korg Synth Kit

Finally checking out my littleBits Korg Synth Kit.  First impression is that it's not too bad.  Some of the connections are a little "iffy".  Need some more time to experiment.

Radio Shack’s Fail is Ttam Troll’s Gain

It’s sad that most Radio Shack stores are closing.  I could go into the details of this but it has already been much talked about.  You can read about why it failed here.

Fortunately for consumers,  Radio Shack’s demise means that there are some good deals to be had.  While looking through my local store, I came across some very cheap MIDI couplers and the littleBits Korg Synth Kit.  With a savings of about $50 on the kit, I had to pick one up.  Let the synth building begin!
