    Shoutouts Sparkfun has a new "grab bag" program for all their pick and place cast off parts. Could be some good pickins! Rants Why does the IEEE still charge membership fees to unemployed engineers? And why does the cutoff for waiving the fee occur at 13k(and below)? Is that a realistic point at which people start being able to pay dues? Discussion Points California gives 100W incandescent bulbs the boot! The mentioned EETimes article explaining the switcher circuit innards of a CFL Why do LCR meters (like the kind Dave reviewed) output 6 digits of "resolution" through USB when only 3 are displayed on the device screen? Electronic junk is back in the public eye. There is some research starting on the topic, but in the mean time 3rd world countries are still burning circuit boards to get the precious metals from them. New site about electronic waste and recycling by the people that brought you "The Story of Stuff" http://www.youtube.com/v/sW_7i6T_H78 And what contributes to electronics junk more than putting electronics in everything? While this can be a boon to new products, is it oversupply of cheap chips or actual consumer demand of the new functionality? TSMC is planning a solar cell manufacturing plant in Mississippi. Good for the local economy (1k jobs, $500M invested). Are we nearing an inflection point where lower income areas in American labor (plus deals from local gov'ts) can compete? New list out about trends in 2011 from JWT. Topping the Amp Hour's pick's from that list are: 3D printing (#1), Microbusinesses (#51), NFC (#56), Self-powered devices (#76) and Tap to pay (#88). Also on the list was Detroit and the transformation it's going through currently, as documented in Requiem for Detroit. http://www.youtube.com/v/yIgC5whSP8E Not all predictions go well...Ray Kurzweil responds to the scorching review in the latest issue of the IEEE Spectrum. And since we like IEEE Spectrum so much, we wanted to go over their list from a few months ba…     Lees meer

    Seasonal What is on your electronics list for the holidays? Dave and Chris both need new chairs for their labs WOTW Henrik from Oslo, Norway Bench setup and explanation. Sylvain from Belgium Bench setup for RF projects. David from Portland Portable bench setup. Taking your electronics on the road is impressive! Mike from the UK (mikeselectricstuff) MASSIVE panorama of his amazing lab. Breathtaking how well he uses the space and how much he crams in there! Shoutouts IEEE has a podcast. Not the easiest thing to find but there are a lot of different topics and interviews! Discussion Points Are squishy circuits the beginning of the circuit printing we've been talking about? Too soon in the technology to tell. Listener Harry tells us about The Woz being on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" The Freagle Campaign is still going. While we appreciate the Cad Soft team getting on Twitter, we still think the revenue generated from EAGLE BOM pushes will offset costs. And if not, RS Design Spark is free! EAGLE also just added a script for getting a PCB quote, apparently. No word who the vendor is but Dave thinks this will extend far beyond PCBs into entire supply chains. Fluke could use a little work on their Tweeting. Not all engineers care about American football! It seems the foundries may be buying into opening up their standards to the EDA vendors. Could this mean more open source tools (like Electric) or will it just open it among the big players? Dave and Chris get asked to fix peoples' stuff because we're engineers, but Chris much more often gets asked to be IT. Google has a new site to help with that. What's the payoff from getting a PhD? Is it even worth it for all the effort required? Inventables, an awesome site with small quantity, weird new materials for use in hobby projects.

    Beluister deze aflevering

    Dave and Chris have been trying to get some thoughts together a bit prior to the show (though the show itself is still quite “off the cuff”). This week compares and contrasts yanks and aussies.
