  • Daniel Garrido linked here from his project site. Some great projects over there! (sorry if I butchered your name!)
  • Open Hardware Summit is on again this year and are looking for entries for presentations.
  • Bre Pettis of Makerbot will be on The Colbert Report. Fun interviews, Chris liked the Dean Kamen interview.
  • Dave re-worked the EEVforum because he was not allowed to start a forum with 'Altium' in the name.
  • Are Autorouters getting any better? Dave has seen the post from 'Silicon Farmer' before, comparing autorouters vs manual.
  • Windell from ESML told Chris about Toporouter. It looks 'wiggly', but apparently works well.
  • Australia and the US seems to have quite a few differences culturally when it comes to higher education. What is college/Uni like in your part of the world?

  • Another way students to get $100K: Win the DARPA DIY Drones competition.
  • Chris and Dave correct their silliness about a camshaft vs. a driveshaft.
  • And even though we don't know much about cars, Top Gear and Car Talk are some of our favorite shows!
