Dave and Chris discuss the news!

  • Dave just got back from a holiday. He couldn't keep away though and posted videos from the beach!
  • Dave is focusing on logistics, using shipping from DHL and Wordpress / Woocommerce for the interface.
  • Marketing is tough for engineers but David Kronstein did things right. Spending marketing dollars on hardware for people to review.
  • EAGLE has switched to a subscription model. Dave made a video about it.
  • Switching to KiCad? Chris made Getting To Blinky 4.0 which is a decent start at trying out the program.
  • Watching technical videos? Chris recommends the Video Speed Controller Chrome plugin. Speed up or down any HTML5 video.
  • A bit of a jump. LTspice went from version 4 to version...17! Likely due to the ADI acquisition of LinearTech. We interviewed creator and maintainer of LTspice, Mike Engelhardt!
  • Chris noted that the Falstad Simulator (which went online a couple years ago) now has current and voltage visualization, similar to the EveryCircuit android app.
  • Nvidia simulated photographs of a moonwalk to debunk online wackos.  The Mythbusters had done a similar thing with a physical model.
  • The Trump administration is messing with science. This will not stand. We enjoyed the badlands national park reactions.
  • The AT&T archive videos are fantastic, check out this one on wave behavior
  • Jeff Keyzer (Mightyohm, yessah!) posted his pictures of his tour to Bell Labs.
  • When you're depressed (or stressed) make something.
  • Dave is working on his custom multimeter, almost as a project manager. A new role for Dave!
  • The gadget apocalypse is upon us!
  • Captain Disillusionment did another video about the Cicret bracelet
  • GoPro slashing staff.
  • Chris was intrigued by a new variation on a business model showcased at TechCrunch Disrupt.
    • Do not forget to announce the drawing for AoE
