[KwartzLab] Time to write an instructable!

[James Bastow]

I'll edit & upload photos to Flickr tonight. All my photos are licensed
CC-BY-SA so you are free to use them in an Instructable, blog post or
whatever.

I personally can't stand the Instructables site, but anything that gets us
exposure is better than nothing :)
