Win Cool Stuff with Maker Faire:NC!

 I recently bought a Raspberry Pi and fell in love.  I've already put SiriProxy on it and then redid everything so I could run XBMC on it.  What a versatile little gizmo!  We're excited to see what the creative Makers in NC can do with one so  I bought another one to give away!  Thanks to generous donations from Hines Design Labs and our sister Faire, Maker Faire Rhode Island, we're thrilled to announce a big 'ol Raspberry Pi Prize Pack in our Raspberry Pi Giveaway!

We are giving away:

• Five Adult tickets to Maker Faire:NC on June 15, 2013
• Raspberry Pi (512MB)
• "Getting Started with Raspberry Pi" by  Matt Richardson & Shawn Wallace
• Custom-made MFNC Raspberry Pi LASER-cut case
• A MFNC 2013 T-Shirt

Maker Faire:NC — ClockTHREEjr give-away announcement!

This just in from the ClockThree Team:
