FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, WIN. in
this case i won big. photo
missing
.








FAIL: needs more diffusion:



MinM
pendant (test fit front)



I'm planning for the next MinM project and keeping this one in original condition.  Something more finished would likely have a dab of hot glue to affix the MinM and provide additional diffusion for the led. 



This MinM was recovered from another wearable project because I was in the flow:



Matt Pinner's BlinkM MinM bracelet




FAIL: programming is troublesome:



MinM pendant (test fit back)linkM with embedded MinM



FAIL: ugly, inflexible, and fragile.



WIN: the magnetic switch:



Often form and function are tackles separately with wearables, in this case a simple knot secured and electrically connected the 26 gauge copper wire to the magnetic switch. This makes possible all kinds of field repair and artistry.



I surveyed a dancer, fashionetasas, musician, and handie some very handie folks . There was a consensus that deemed this production ready with preliminary cost estimates ranging from $25-$75.
