  How to circuit bend
1. Get a cheap audio toy. DO NOT try with anything using mains power.Use
adapted or battery power only. Also DO NOT bend anything that you will miss.
What you are doing is creating short circuits, and that sometimes can cause
irreparable damage and can also be very unreliable. Be prepared to loose
whatever you are bending.

2.   Open it up so you have access to the PCB. Get a piece of wire. Choose a
point on the circuit board and put one end of the wire onto it. Place the
other end of the wire elsewere on the board where an electrical current
would not normally go. Keep placing untill something interesting happens.
Good things to try are by-passing resisters, connecting legs of chips, and
connecting one leg of the internal speaker to somewhere on the PCB to create
an overdriven sound.

3. If you have found a good place, solder a switch mounted onto the casing
of the toy, and you can turn it on and off whenever you wish.

Have fun and EXPERIMENT.
There you go. Ben could give a very in depth article about the subject, if
you should wish. I feel that it is very important to include Reed Ghazala's
web link, as he was one of the originaters and everything that we did was
taken from him is some way or another.
Andrew has some photos of the night. He has sent a couple to me and I told
him to send you a huge 15meg zip file he has of photos, as you are the one
with broadband. So if you end up waiting two hours for an e-mail, it's my
fault.
