- 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.
- 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!
