Welcome to 2011! Hopefully you all had a fantastic Holiday break. I know I (Hadley) did, just returning this weekend from a week at Terrace Downs - a beautiful golf resort. To all of you who ordered over the holiday break; thanks for your orders and your patience, everything will be shipping out to you today.

To kick of the year we've just added 30 new products to the site in the "Electronics Gear" categories. These include an Arduino "Power" shield which allows you to switch higher voltage/current DC than the Arduino can normally handle. This means with the SSRs we've now got AC and DC covered.

We've also got a range of electroluminescent or "EL" wire and drivers/controllers including an Arduino shield. This stuff is super neat, like small flexible neon you can DIY. Great for decorations, effects, Christmas and Halloween decorations etc.

There are various other bits and pieces too so if you haven't lately, head on over to the new products page and check it all out.

Thanks to all of you our great customers We had a fantastic year in 2010 and 2011 is going to be even better.
