National Geographic has been treating us to a lot of footage from the new aquarium show, Fish Tank Kings, featuring Living Color Aquariums, and this week we have even more footage to show you. The first of the new clips this week is a bit of a back story surrounding the clip we had last week about their deep water collecting mission. In this one you will see that those fish were being collected for a new deep water exhibit at the Florida Aquarium which Living Color Aquariums is helping to design and stock.

DIYKnowHow: Q&A with Arduino Creator, Massimo Banzi
Unfortunately it wasn’t an interview conducted by me, it appears on radioshack.coms’ blog. Honestly I would be put on the spot and for once, at a loss for words because when it comes to this end of DIY, I’m more of a plug and play kind of guy. However the interview is a pretty good read and gives a little background on how Arduino came about. There are also some good links to other Arduino articles as well. I didn’t realize the Shack carried a starter kit with a book on writing codes and programming; maybe it is time to pick this up and see if an old dog can learn new tricks.
