Maker Faire

For those of you in the Bay Area, SchmartBoard will be at the Maker Faire next month.  Look for us at the booth of Nuts and Volts/Servo Magazines.  We plan to make a major announcement there in collaboration with these great electronics/robotics magazines.

Maker Faire is the premier event for grassroots American innovation. The event started in San Mateo, California in 2006 and expanded to Austin, Texas in 2007. Held annually in each of these locations, the event may expand elsewhere in the future. Maker Faire is supported by Make Magazine and Craft Magazine and O'Reilly Media the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies. The company's books, conferences, and web sites bring to light the knowledge of technology innovators.

Elvis Seen in Fremont CA

This month's Professor Schmart cartoon features an Elvis sighting in Fremont CA.  We archive these cartoons as wallpaper for your use.

In addition we invite people to give us ideas for future cartoons.  If we use your idea, your receive a SchmartBoard prize. Why should we have all the fun?

Happy St. Patricks Day

It's St. Patricks Day today.  When i was younger...and when i lived in Chicago, this was a bid deal.  The city was one big party.  The river is dyed green, the street lines painted green, the big parade, and the full pubs and bars made this evident. 

Today, after work, I have no big plans.  I'm wearing a green polo shirt, but honestly it is by coincidence.  I'll eat some frozen dinner tonight, and I'm pretty confident it will not be corned beef and cabbage.

For those of you who are going out tonight though, as a public service announcement, we would like to offer the following advice.  NEVER solder under the influence.  Always have a designated solderer if you plan to drink.   Happy St. Patty's Day from SchmartBoard.

Are You There?

SchmartBoard has a World Map that shows photos of circuits made by SchmartBoard users and where they are located.  We have been delinquint in filling in the map over the past few months.    We will start to fill it in with new photos shortly.  We also are looking for more photos.......do you want to be on the map?  We need to get a number of countries represented.  I know we have users in Australia, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, Hungary, United Kingdom, and France.   As JFK said..."Ask not what your country can do for you..ask what you can do for your country"......like post your SchmartBoard circuit?
