Fried and sizzling

So trying to prep my Teeces for full testing I started trying to make some half baked connection cables and my power cable for the marcduino Master board was crud and I wound up fring my Xbee break out board.  It made a nice pop and sizzle sound.  Even had some smoke drift by.  According to my USMC computer trainer, it needs that smoke to work, so I've ordered a new Xbee break out board (it should still have the smoke inside) and some real connection cables.
