Congratulations to Organic’s own Fang-Yu Lin on the upcoming release of his DIY book. Outside of the office, Fang’s work as a new media artist led him to this latest project as co-author of Switch Craft, a book which marries technology, fashion, and craft.
After two years of preparation and labor, Switch Craft: Battery-Powered Crafts to Make and Sew, the design DIY book that Fang co-authored with Alison Lewis, is finally ready for release on October 28th. The book is intended to introduce the previous niche fashion/wearable technology to the mass audience in an accessible and appealing manner. It’s Fang’s hope that the book would inspire more professional or amateur crafters, designers and artists to incorporate electronic features in their creative endeavors.
For more information please visit http://www.iheartswitch.com/switchcraft/ (the site is under redesign; a new version will be launched soon).
Definitely check the book out when it hits shelves at the end of the month.

Dear Fang Lin: Congratulations on your impending publication! I’m sure you’re aware of the web site: http://www.makezine.com, devoted to DIYers. Great place to promote your book!
Best of success with it, Susan
Congrats but it would be nice if your name was highlighted more prominently. Not surprising given your co-author.
