From Start To Finish: TTP223 Touch Sensor
Nice little IC, lots of alternatives out there, like the AT42QT1012 but the TTP233 is dirt cheap.

POLOL
pololu-a-star-32u4-mini-ulv
I picked this little developemt board from coolcomponents.co.uk, the A-Star 32U4 Mini Ultra Low Voltage (ULV). It combines an ATmega32U4 chip with a step up regulator (TPS61202) to boost battery voltages up to 5v. It has a small form factor and the boost circuit makes it ideal for battery power projects so it can be used on and off the bench. There is a little caveat here, I am not sure if the advertised 0.5v-5.5v is all that accurate. It could be that the batteries I used were not good enough but someone more used to testing power regulation would be a better judge.
If you fancy picking one up, they are only about £15 and I think they are worth it - http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/a-star-32u4-mini-ulv.html
For details from the manufacturer - http://www.pololu.com/product/3102
And yes, I was hungover.

Taking a quick look at this beautiful Muirhead Decade Condenser, I don't have a lot of experience with these so it is all just a bit of fun. I couldn't really get into this unit but I am still glad I took a look inside.

WIREL
wireless-charging-modules-from-seeed
Sorry it got very sunny after I started recording.
I picked up these wireless charging (or just power) modules from http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/wireless-charging-module-1138.html
They are pretty simple and do exactly what is described. You may find the advertised maximum distance difficult to achieve, I think I only got to around 10mm.
They are from Seeed Studios, who also make a 300ma version but this one is capable of kicking out 600ma.

STUDE
student-high-altitude-balloon-project
Just to be clear, this is just me helping out with a student project, the board is my design but it is their circuit/system. I helped a bit with the code too. In hindsight I should have knocked up this board with the lack of through-hole plating in mind. However, it worked out OK. The Dupont cables are great but I should have just cut the ends off, oh well, we live and learn. It all works so that is the main thing :-)
If all goes well and the students approve, I will share the rest of their project with you.

4tronix-initio-4wd-robotics-platform-for
Lots to learn, so I will start by saying I know very little about this platform at the moment.
It is with a certain amount of shame that I admit defeat in creating my own robotics platform, turns out I am terrible with materials.
So I bought this one for around £35 including tax - http://4tronix.co.uk/store/index.php?rt=product/product&path=66_67&product_id=168
