This video is a little bit scary and a little bit romantic – a perfect representation of NYC. Via Ufunk:
Here is VORTEX, a beautiful contemplative walk through the streets of New York, mixing ethereal music and mesmerizing images. An amazing video created in 48h, only using an iPhone 8 and a Freefly MoVI stabilizer. After BALANCE, also shot in New York, a new captivating video directed by Tim Sessler.
“It’s more than an honour to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can’t wait,” she added.
While 2017 was certainly a banner year for movies and television—it brought us Wonder Woman, American Gods, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, to start—we would argue that 2018 is looking even brighter. J.J. Abrams adds another mysterious chapter to the Cloverfield saga, Philip K. Dick gets an anthology series, and the Incredibles finally get back into their supersuits. Between Annihilation and A Wrinkle in Time alone, next year will be truly mind-expanding.
We were surprised at how long this list was, from the aforementioned big movies to the return of such beloved series as The Good Place, Star Trek: Discovery, The Handmaid’s Tale, and much more. We’ve got a lot to look forward to next year.
Know someone who loves electronics but doesn’t know the difference between an XBee, a soldering iron, and a SMA to uFL/u.FL/IPX/IPEX RF Adapter Cable? Want to buy the perfect gift but don’t know whether your Maker friend is a BeagleBone fan or a Rasp Pi devotee? Just a fan of Bruce Yan’s incredible design? If you’re any of these, or more, buy an Adafruit Gift Certificate – the perfect cyber-present for the electronics geek in your life.
We’re excited for the Holiday Season here at Adafruit and we can’t wait to share that excitement with you! Tune into the Adafruit Blog for six weeks of hand picked Adafruit Holiday Gift Guides featuring Adafruit products, projects and more starting Monday November 13.

Happy New Year! We’re almost ready for a 2.2 release of CircuitPython. Here’s 2.2.0-rc.2, the next candidate release. Thank you if you can test it. Download from the GitHub release page.
audiobusio.PDMIn: (Microphone support.) Fix error in digital filter loop, which was generating quite inaccurate sample values. Fix crashes caused by buffers of certain sizes.
Fix Arduino bootloader support so that a 1200 baud reset will be noticed and Arduino IDE will be able to upload.
Intermittent power (e.g., bobbling the battery connector) could cause CircuitPython to think that the CIRCUITPY filesystem was damaged and erase it. Now, it waits two seconds before erasing, and double-checks just before erasing to see if filesystem still appears to be damaged.
Update CPX frozen libraries to their latest versions (including tap support on LIS3DH). Include library version info (__version__). Don’t include example directories.
Fix readthedocs documentation build.
Changes since 2.1.0
Frozen modules in the Circuit Playground Express builds are updated to their latest releases.
round() was always returning `0′. Fixed to return correct value.
CircuitPython now writes out version information to boot_out.txt, before boot.py runs when you hard-reset the board or plug it in.
audiobusio.PDMIn: MEMS microphone support is improved. (There is a MEMS microphone on the Circuit Playground Express.) We fixed several bugs that could cause hard crashes. The minimum and default sampling frequency is now 16 kHz (16000). The microphone is clocked all the time to avoid having to wait for it to start up, which can take up to 0.1 seconds. When you first create a PDMIn object, CircuitPython waits for startup_delay seconds (default 0.11 seconds) so that the first data from the microphone will be useful. The digital filter used to convert microphone data into PCM data is now much faster. Thanks @ladyada!
busio.SPI now has an additional operation SPI.write_readinto() which does bidirectional input/output. Certain SPI devices need this.
AnalogIn.value is now much faster. It now uses the native 12-bit ADC resolution instead of doing 16-bit via oversampling. Range is still 0-65535. Also uses a faster clock rate.
microcontroller.on_next_reset(): Change the behavior of what happens when the reset button is pressed: whether a normal reboot occurs, whether to go into safe mode, or whether to go directly to the bootloader. See microcontroller.RunMode.
