+<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The TV-B-Gone™ Kit, MakerBar Edition!</strong></p>
+<p style="text-align: left;">The TV-B-Gone™, the universal remote that shuts off any television, is coming back to the MakerBar in swag purple and gold! It's got more than a facelift - this board was revamped by MakerBar member Zack Freedman to be <strong>easier to solder</strong>, <strong>more hackable</strong>, and <strong>more durable</strong>! It'll be in stock exclusively at the MakerBar within three weeks for $30.</p>
+<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.makerbar.com/?attachment_id=414" rel="attachment wp-att-414"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-414" alt="TV B Gone Model Bare Board Top" src="http://blog.makerbar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/TV-B-Gone-Model-Bare-Board-Top1-e1357703001599.png" width="414" height="295" /></a></p>
+<p style="text-align: left;">The MakerBar Special Edition features:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Same TV-slaughtering power as before - turns off a wall of TV's up to 50 meters away!</li>
+	<li>Less confusing and cluttered board</li>
+	<li>More clearance for easier soldering</li>
+	<li>Strain-relief holes to prevent wires from shredding</li>
+	<li>Easy to hack into Nerf guns and other projects with spots for an external trigger, power, and optional mounting hole</li>
+	<li>Swanky purple board with gold-plated contacts and detailing</li>
+</ul>
+The best part? That little ™ on TV-B-Gone™ means it's officially licensed. 10% of every sale goes back to inventor and hackerspace legend Mitch Altman so he can keep developing awesome stuff and spreading the hacker ethos. We also love using the ™ symbol. ™™™
+
+The TV-B-Gone™ was designed by MakerBar member <a href="http://zackfreedman.com">Zack Freedman</a>, based on open hardware by <a href="http://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe_tvbg_main.php?PHPSESSID%20=d30pj7c8e8f6e8opevlq47f9p6" target="_blank">Mitch Altman (Cornfield Electronics)</a> and <a href="http://www.ladyada.net/make/tvbgone/" target="_blank">Limor Fried (Adafruit Industries)</a>. All firmware, models, EAGLE docs, and more are available on <a href="https://github.com/ZackFreedman/TV-B-Gone-kit">Zack's GitHub</a>.
+
+This kit will be available exclusively at the MakerBar in late January or early February - pre-order at the hackerspace to make sure you get yours! Here are some more pics to tide you over until then.
