> Here’s a practically guaranteed way to get yourself over the hump and learn Morse, from Australian Ben Buxton. The USB key interface is built into a mint tin and provides a dual input port for a standard USB keyboard to access non-Morse characters. A numeric display on the tin reports your coding speed, and tapping out “SOS” without letterspaces brings up the settings menu in software.

> Got to agree with tipster Alan Dove, who quipped that any project successfully mixing Arduino, mint tins, USB interfaces, and International Morse Code results in “unassailable geek cred.” [Thanks, Alan!]
