  • Happy birthday to Jeremy!
  • How do people say "Arduino"?
  • Friend of the show and 555 contest entrant, Jason Pruitt linked here recently from his new site. Thanks!
  • Alan did a great "thank you" video for the 555 contest.
  • Many of Jeremy's friends are going to internships over the summer for "financial engineering" (blech), similar to what we have discussed before. CJ Gervasi recently wrote about how this could be good for the financial services sector but we think it'll corrupt them all!
  • Lots of fun links about weather balloons and ham radio!
    • Alvaro wrote in about a balloon that got to 116,000 feet! Woo!
    • Troy Rank wrote in about a balloon documentary about a 2 day journey to find a balloon.
    • And Bob Kochis wrote in about a  balloon carrying a geiger counter, ostensibly to measure radiation in the upper atmosphere.
    • XKCD mentions how much radiation you get while on an airplane.
    • Bob also wrote in about a new X Prize to create a "tricorder" like device that could diagnose anyone.
    • Google announces their ADK (Android Developers Kit) for all new phones and tablets.
    • Microchip announces a partnership with Digilent to create a PIC based version of the Arduino (sans trademark, of course)
    • Jeff will be at the Bay Area Maker Faire next week, judging the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge.
