[KwartzLab] Time to write an instructable!

[Jeff Schmidt]

Wow, cool!  Thanks very much.

I do prefer to use Instructables (and not just because of the prizes), but I think I could whip up content for both.  I think they're even working on some sort of script or API to integrate Instructables content into your own site.  I haven't used it though.

I could drop by kwartzlab tonight to pick up photos if someone will be there, but I can't stay long.  I've got tons of stuff to do at home!

- Jeff
