Let your geek shine.
Meet Pete Lewis, lead vocalist for the band
Storytyme. Pete recently created the RS1000,
a new personal monitor system for performing
musicians. It was SparkFun’s tutorials, products
and PCB service that enabled him to take his idea
to market in less than a year.
The tools are out there. Find the resources you
need to let your geek shine too.
