Science, Not Silence

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.
