This is a great video by CNBC showing off the PCB manufacturing industry which I've been part of for 33 years. Its great to see recognition by the mainstream that this often overlooked industry is a critical piece of the American economy. https://t.co/91AfU3TFBj

@lonseidman I'm a CT resident and creator with a small channel but have never heard of this program. I don't understand why the program wouldn't want to accept ALL creators. Smaller channels are the ones that benefit the most from connecting and collaborating...

@eevblog @blind_via I worked for an aerospace company and this was the rule there. I now work for one of the mag 7 companies and schematics are full of 4 way tie points. Institutional Inertia vs efficiency...

@CarsCurious If someone was going to make a car out of a tent I thought it would be Subaru..

My kayak is just about ready for next weekend! If you are in CT on 7/20, join the CT POTA group for a paddle out to Minnie Island for SYP weekend. We are meeting at Gardner Lake State Park at about 9:00 AM. Look for us on the air using the K2D call.
