Happy Passover y'all\u2026 Or is we say in the tribe Chag sameach. Tonight is the first night of Passover. The day that get black all over the world remember the escape from bondage . Usually one celebrates with one's family and has a ritual meal of nearly inedible food punctuated with long bouts of impenetrable prayers. I decided to have a modern shortcut. I had a quick premeeting dinner with my friend John at a local Mexican restaurant and had a glass of red wine where I said my own version of Kaddish, the Jewish prayer over the wine. You gotta love any religion that has prayers over wine.<\/p>\n

I felt a little nostalgic for the big old family seders we used to have\u2026 But I guess I'm doing one of those Friday so I didn't feel too bad.<\/p>\n

From There I went to a makers meeting on 3-D printing. If you've been organized by my friends John, Tim, and Tyler\u2026 It was about two hours of great talks on the current and future prospects of 3-D printing. They showed lots of devices that they had made using 3-D printers and they were two printers printing in the background as they spoke. I gave a brief Set of comments on our 3-D scanner and showed some of those results. The meeting was amazing\u2026 It was in the Miller Center at Champlain College and it was standing room only. Last time I counted there were about 70 people and more people kept coming. The maker movement is growing so fast here. It's so great to see.<\/p>\n

And it was a great question and answer session and then lots of hallway conversation. It was really really exciting. I talked to so many smart people tonight. I just love this stuff<\/p>\n

Afterwards we had a quick impromptu meeting on the floorish project that Eric John colin and Katie and I are working on. We have a lot to get done in the next two weeks. We made use of the available whiteboard the plot our next steps. . Our picture here so I can find it later<\/p>\n
