The Arduino Solution to Selectively Mute Over-Exposed Celebrities
I know it's in bad sport to point out a straightforward solution that obviates a clever one, but...<p>I find it's more effective simply to not watch TV. Ditch your cable, stop imbibing mind poison, and torrent/purchase/stream specific, worthwhile content according to your ethical predispositions. Our population grows ever dumber, ever more apathetic. Mainstream content is optimized around this. Better to opt out of most of it.<p>That said: boy, nothing beats Arduino for rekindling my boyhood sense of magic and imagination. Well, perhaps with the exception of seeing the world through the eyes of David Attenborough.
