The phone is hanging out the window! Must be time for another show!

  • Would you watch someone's 24/7 stream? Not sure how useful it would be.
  • Dave could have used a design review for his USB PSU!
    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL0KnXDPbe8
  • Design reviews are a tough thing to walk into (and out of).
  • We just found out that the Woz is trying to become an Australian citizen! Dave has re-dubbed him, "Tha Wozzah"
  • Check out this cool Tesla Coil subduing machine from Electronic Tonic
  •  Freescale will no longer be developing 8 bit micros.
  • The MBA Playbook is getting more attention, including blogs on the Harvard Business Review!
  • Are distributors getting more important? Chris argues the opposite (which is partially why he started ChipReport.tv
  • Perhaps this is also the future of work, having a truly flexible workforce? Chris talked about being a "free agent" on The Engineering Commons.
  • There's a future in robots...what does our audience think about it? Do you see yourself programming ever?
  • Cool robot that drops off WiFi extension boxes as it moves! Dave reckons he could build something similar.
  • Why not look at existing electronics in class? Kent Lundberg is doing exactly that in the classes he's teaching!
  • Nominate/Vote for The Amp Hour for best "science" podcast!
  • Vote for Dave for a shot at "The Streamys". Could finally get him back to the US!
    • If you're so inclined, we'd really appreciate the love on those two contests. Thanks for listening and thanks for caring!
