I stopped by Hackclub today to talk to my freind Charlie about a hardware program project we’re workign on with FPGA’s .. I also went in to say a quick fgoodbye to manyof my intern freinds who are heading home after workign at hackclub over the summer. I’ve really enjoyed getting to kwo them and work with them. It was great seeing a little but of what they had accomplished over their summer 

I also got to help Rachel.. the ‘den mother’ of the summer kids finish up her Fluffy project.. its a real light up version of fluffy  that is lit by actuall fluffy patterns !

Then I made a stop at the real fluffy.. she’s heading out to the dessert soon… so diane and I are still workignon the clouds, cabling and docs..

Billy and I spent the day ayt the EnMed advisory meeting. It was such an interesting day !> We toured the facility including the maker space . Its the 8th year of the program.. and its growing in size and reputaion. the idea is to train the next generation of Doctors who can invent.. like billy and soem of his colleages on the board. whats interesting is how can you best teach the hands on try it, fail , fix it mind set to a group of med studnets who may not be comfortable with the  idea of failure 

The day was full of good talks and great conversations. I can see several places where I will be able to help the group even though I have almost no medical background. 

they treated us so well.. including a new plaque with all our names on it

Right after the meeting I had to run and pcik up diane and head strait to the airport for the flight home

great trip .. I love seeing my sybs
