    • Chris got back from Maker Faire and some very nice people showed up for his talk. There were also some crazy demos:
      • Intel/Microsoft had a demo that identified gender, age and if the person was smiling pretty accurately. Felt like the pizza shop that was doing the same.

      • Automation craziness in a grocery store/warehouse.
      • Chris likes NYC CNC's Fusion 360 tutorials
      • David2 prefers Solidworks, because of the integration with Altium.
      • Dave liked eMachine shop, which was a intuitive interface for Dave to build project boxes.
      • Bre Pettis purchased OtherMachineCo, makers of the Othermill.
      • Dave talked about getting a 24 hour turn in his PCB manufacturing video for the Nixie board.
      • The milling machines use copper clad FR1 (phenolic paper) vs FR4
      • Dave is considering registering as an educational organization for tax purposes. But it probably isn't worth the hassle.
      • Kickstarter, Avnet and Dragon Innovation announced a partnership to help funding campaigns make more manufacturable hardware.
      • Dragon used to have a crowdfunding platform that was shuttered.
        • Thanks to all of our Patreon supporters!
        Thanks to Bill Automata for the picture of the milled circuit board.
