- We have a t-shirt, which you can now buy! Get in on the low cost initial purchase, buy before April 29th!
- We hired a couple freelancers off of People Per Hour to do our artwork (and previously our transcriptions). Quality often correlates with price! We decided not to go with 99 Designs, though that's another good option.
- T-shirts should arive in time for both Hamvention and Maker Faire. Please wear them! Find other listeners!
- The Dayton Hamvention (sponsored by DARA) will be a huge set of events and a swap meet that will make the Wyong field day that Dave attended look like a garage sale!
- Chris will try to check out the museum at Edwards Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
- Chris will be on the lookout for mullets in Dayton. They and rat tails characterize wonky hairstyles from the 80s.
- Dave just did his Ignite talk in Sydney about videoblogging
- It was started by Bre Pettis (of MakerBot) and Brady Forrest in Seattle in 2006.
- Seth Godin has a good post on how to do concise, impactful presentations.
- Do crowdfunded tech projects sometimes bamboozle people? The EEVblog forum is skeptical of the Mu Optics hosted on IndieGoGo.
- Chris reminds everyone that EEstor still hasn't delivered (and likely never will).
- Bamboozling is one of the major drawbacks of the yet-to-be-implemented JOBS act in the US, which allows small investment by individual investors.
- The ZionEyez project is another failure, with definite overtones of shadiness.
- Projects that are simply late (yet still promise to deliver) have some pundits claiming that Silicon Valley's hardware renaissance is stalling.
- Bunnie has been finding some interesting stuff in the China marketplace, this time a $12 cell phone.
- Chris worries that super low cost hardware will affect all of us from an employment perspective, but Dave assures him that very little employment comes from the consumer space.
- What about you? Do you work in consumer electronics? If not, which field do you work in? Check out our survey at the bottom of this post.
- The new Beaglebone Black looks great! It's now $45 to get closer to the price of the Raspberry Pi and has many many more I/O. Chris is lukewarm on the Cloud9 IDE and Bonescript.
- Light pens were how people used to interact with screens and persisted where Chris used to work in the fab.
- Bill and Mara got married in the geekiest way: They soldered as part of their vows! Awesome!
- WBotW!
- Chris
- Yi
- Jan
- Survey! What kind of industry do you work in?
