Abstract
Founded in 2003 by Nathan Seidle , SparkFun Electronics ( sparkfun.com ) is well-known and loved by hardware hackers everywhere. Nathan started SparkFun while attending college at the University of Colorado. Since then, SparkFun has been recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in Boulder and has served as a learning tool and source of discovery for many people exploring the world of electronics. One of my favorite weekly traditions is opening my browser on Friday mornings to see the SparkFun new products video.
