We’re back in NYC! – “Ask an engineer” is Saturday night 10pm ET – 1/16/2010 and it is META night, the chat is about the chat! We’re going to spend a lot of the evening experimenting with a new multi-camera set up (3 cameras!), picture-in-picture and push pre-recorded video in to the LIVE stream. This is all in preparation for more features, segments and fun with our weekly show! We’ll still answer your questions and we’ll still have a give away, we’ll just be playing “live” with a lot of video stuff. Just keep in mind, it all might not work

Adafruit had our first offsite meeting of 2010. We’re working on a ton of new features to the site, forums, “ask an engineer”, citizen engineer, kits and more. We’re also creating the roadmap for our 2010 line up of new products in the wonderful world of open source hardware. We has some crazy goals, we’re looking forward to the challenges ahead. Our method of offsite is to climb rocks and between turns jot down what we need to do in the next 12 months to make 2010 an amazing year. If you’re in the NYC and like climbing check out Brooklyn Boulders (pictured above)…
