  • Dave was once working (from home) on Christmas Eve to try and get stuff ready for CES
  • Some of our favorite video bloggers:
    • Alan Yates - Currently working on his "advent of electronics" videos again.
    • Alan Wolke - Recently released a tutorial on the basics of biasing transistors.
    • Ben Krasnow - Has been answering Q&A questions recently
    • There is another SF meetup that Chris will be at. This one will feature Shaun Meehan from Planet labs and someone from the Javascript based processor called Tessel.
    • Dave recently completed the mud run in Sydney. He also did a teardown of the scope he took with him.

    • Chris and Dave had both had to deal with extended life testing (Thermal/humidity testing). One possible solution is conformal coating.
    • Australian alarm company Hess designed in MOVs for thunderstorms...but didn't populate them for non-monsoon-colocated systems.

    • Dave recently fixed his BTTF time circuit
    • The Orion launch/landing were a spectacular set of videos. Also NASA officially announced going to Mars!

    • Aldrin's book (and concept) about building our way to Mars vs the Mars direct (described in a book by Robert Zubrin)
    • Apollo 8 was impressive to Dave because it was not only a manned mission...they also decided to "go for it" and get around the moon.
    • Dave lamented Maxim's delivery. There was an interesting post from a Maxim insider about the priorities at the company (that match what we expected).
