Three Hundred Down, Three Hundred To Go

  • Dave busted his knee! He'll need to get an MRI.
  • Chris went to Maker faire and gave a talk about revision control. He included the fact that Altium has had revision control for a long time (but not many engineers use it)
  • Chris' favorite display was theMonster 6502 by Eric of TubeTime.us. He did an interview with Mike from Hackaday.
  • Chris made an art project out of his repurposed (4x over!) badge. It's blinks with his heartbeat. 
  • Lots of robots in the news. 
    • China
    • McDonalds
    • Adidas (Germany)
    • Dave will soon have a moon rover in his lab!
    • While in SF, Chris saw former guest Mike Harrison get lessons on riding a monowheel from former guest Ariel Briner.
    • There's a book for learning Python for everyday automation called Automate The Boring Stuff.
    • Dave was happy to hear that Google admitted self driving cars are still 20 years off. However, Chris saw a video which appeared to show the driver of a Tesla asleep at the wheel (while it was still moving/driving). 
    • Arrow teamed up with Indiegogo. It's good they're making strides to check projects, but it might hurt Arrow in the long run.
    • A scam came to light about the Peachy printer. However it was the high quality videos explaining the stolen money that weirded Dave out so much. 
    • Dave made a video about the Orange Pi vs Raspberry Pi. They are different chips on board, so they have quite different functionality. 
    • In the mailbag this week, Dave got a cyclopedia from 1924, "The complete book of applied electricity" Chris wasn't quite sure about the things that wouldh ave been included then, but found a timeline of electrical engineering. 
    • Dave posted a formerly filmed video of sped-up layout.
    • The Current Source is making videos about baseline electronics subjects, the one about SCRs was great!
    • Chris will be holding a Denver meetup this Sunday, 5/29 at 4 pm!
