We're super excited about the 5th annual #SparkleCon this weekend!
There will be tech talks, science, art, hacking & competitions. Build a crappy robot for the hebocon, become a hammer Jenga champion, and see beautiful sparks and art!
The talks and activities include 3D body scanning, lock picking, coding, 3D printing, large Tesla coils, and nuclear fusion.
Our own @Jasmine Brackett will be giving a talk about selling small-batch hardware, and you can check out the schedule to see what else is planned. http://www.sparklecon.org/#schedules
There'll be a few folk from the Hackaday and Tindie team attending. We hope to see you there!

It's already started and you can see all sale the items here: tindie.com/sale
Also, follow us on Twitter for more Sale highlights and discount codes @tindie.
The sale highlights some of the best maker made devices, breakout boards and shields from our community. You will find unique electronics that you’ll not find on any other sites. And, when you buy on Tindie you’re supporting a community of independent inventors and tinkerers.
And if you're a Tindie seller, it's not too late to add your your items and join the biggest Tindie Sale event of the year (details on how to here).
Gearing up for Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas; or just use that magical time of the year to indulge your blinkenlight machinations - if you've not started planning, now is the time!
According to Bill, you're already too late for grand architectural illuminations, but if you're up for a challenge you can check out his detailed guide on DIY Christmas light shows The Engineer’s Guide to DIY Computer Controlled Holiday Lights.
Have a LED idea, but worried about coding the animations? You could use the PixelBlaze which makes it quick to write new patterns with its highly optimized expression engine. Alternatively, the AllPixel mini LED controller doesn't even require soldering to use.
Looking to add blink or something more complex to your outfits? Add LEDs to your festive frocks or make Rudolph's nose glow brighter when you hug Aunt Rose with FyberLab's Flex Modules. You can also make smaller baubles and ornaments as decorations or gifts. Design your own or use kits. You can find snowflake, blinking star and IoT ornament kits ready to go on Tindie.
Still not sure what to make? Hackaday's Christmas archive has plenty of bright ideas for you. Whatever you decide to do there are many things on Tindie that can help you spread interactive cheer, and delight friends and family.
We love to hear about your projects. Share them with us on Twitter, Facebook, Hackaday.io or email details to us hello@tindie.com. If we feature your project on the Tindie Blog we'll send out a festive goodie bag to you.
Happy Hacking!
Tindie will have a booth in the Maker Pavilion, in Zone 3, Booth 3121.
