Switch is a DIY show for electronics, fashion technology and design. It has taken a long while, but the Switch website is no longer in BETA! We have fully integrated the design with movable type (thank you Lindsey), added a donate/gift section, a new mailing list, the learning library and a easily navigable archive section. We have two new episodes coming up in June (one project and one interview) and are looking forward to getting switch off the ground.
{NEW BLOG}
We have taken the design further and upgraded the site to a real blog with a cool Archive Section, Learning Library, Donate section and more…
{NEWSLETTER}
We’ve moved over everyone’s email address to the new mailing program which will keep Switch in touch with you smoothly and seamlessly. This means you no longer can send a message to the switch group; instead it acts solely as a newsletter or email list. If you want to leave a message, leave a comment on the blog or send us a message through the contact form (http://iheartswitch.com/contact). As always, we are happy to hear from you and if the need arises we’ll add a talk forum in the future.
{NEW SHOWS COMING IN JUNE!}
1) Lovie Circuits, two circuits that light up when together
2) Interview with an inventor who integrates lights into clothing and accessories.

{SPONSORS}
Switch is a labor of love and is produced, organized and the projects are implemented by mainly one person and a few people who contribute when they can (Like: Karen on Graphics) It is done without sponsorship. What this means is that it takes a little longer to get things produced, materials to be purchased, and to do projects and the filming and what not. This is not an excuse, but we ask that you be patient with SWITCH as we try to get going full speed over the summer.
We’ve added a donate page for those of you who appreciate and enjoy the idea of Switch and want to see more happen. You can find it here: http://iheartswitch.com/help.
Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement. Also, thank you to Lindsey Lake who chopped and integrated the layout (done by Karen lee) with MovableType. You did a great job!
Stay Tuned, see you soon,
Alison
