Jobs For Weirdos
- Standing out during a first impression is the best way to get to the interview.
- Chris was at a job fair at MIT where he met someone (Matt) that he interviewed and then saw again recently at the Hackaday Boston event. Matt had a machine that could output code onto tape and Chris printed, "The amp hour rocks"
- The Hackaday Prize is due in a few days...get your entry in! Last year's winner (SatNOGS) took the money and started a non-profit.
- Former regular guest of the show Michael Ossmann designed the badge for CCCamp this year, the Rad1o.
- There was a cool badge at the Open Hardware Summit a few years back designed by Wyolum. This year's OHS will have a badge by Parallax.
- Dave will be at the Sydney Maker Faire this coming weekend.
- How do you find out about new parts?
- The Digikey product index started calling out the "new" parts (not sure on the timeline).
- Chris used to watch the datasheet.com RSS feed for ChipReport.tv.
- The /r/nicechips subreddit can be a source of new components to explore.
- Karl and Cory do "Part of the Podcast" over on The Sparkgap podcast.
- COTW! The TPS65982 is a power management chip for USB 3.0. Dave is considering putting this on the uSupply project.
- Chris and Dave are both pumped about The Martian moving coming out. Chris also recommends Ready Player One, which is another nerdy Sci Fi movie. Apparently Speilburg (who is directing) is trying to get Gene Wilder out of retirement to play one of the characters.
- Dave is interested by the recharge road. This will be different than Qi charging, used by more and more consumer level devices.
