You're in the AZ area? Interesting.

Yeah, Scottsdale.

Also interesting is that I had no idea that Maker Bench existed, even though it's practically within walking distance.

MakerBench seems to do a poor job of promoting itself. I think their RSS feed, for example, used to be filled with posts from assorted other sites (e.g. make.com) such that I gave up on it as being to noisey. It looks to be more focused now so I re-subbed

A few user groups meet there, too, such as the Android dev group.

My AZ Hackers group had been meeting up in Scottsdale but attendance faded to zero after a few months. I've thought about reviving it down at MakerBench but got distracted with work.

Anyways I'll have to write to namecheap about getting the name approved for transfer.

It looks like they have Arudrino night tonight. I might just show up because, for once, work won't interfere.

Oh, wish I paid more attention, might have driven down there for that!

I see it's every Tuesday night. I will have to plan on this ...

Well, it may have been a mistake on the calendar, actually, at least for that particular Tuesday. But I did meet several people working on different projects (unrelated to Arudrino) and it was interesting nonetheless.

The laser cutters they have are pretty interesting.
