After work today I dropped by Hackclubs’ new location in downtown Burlington. its an amazingly nice space. .. it used to be an ice house a hundered years ago.. now its the center of a huge and growing of high school hackers all over the world. I went there  to check in about  a trip im making with them to Open Sauce.. the ultimate maker meet up  next month. Great seeing all my friends there… Several of them are off to Schenzen this week for a hackathon before meeting up in San Mateo for open saice.  

TOnight I was reading IEEE Circuits and Systems magazine and was very happy to see my good friend Dave Allstot had  won this years Kirchhoff award.. what an honor..  Dave had several interviews in the magazine. it was great hearing him reflect on his career. he’s alway been an inspiration to me  !

Congrats Dave.. so well deserved !
