DigiKey

If you're an electronics hobbyist, it's hard not to be excited by a website like DigiKey's. Things that you've only heard of in hushed whispers at industrial canteens, or seen deployed when your electronic toy finally died and you deconstructed it out of curiosity. Radioshack is sadly inaccessible here, so most electronic components necessitated a visit to Sim Lim Tower or similar hangouts.

But finally, here is an online catalogue for one's perusal. Admire the almost-2000 pages of capacitors, transistors, crimpers, connectors and other widgets. And go to sleep tonight on sweet dreams of building stuff with parts you never knew existed.
