@ Dangerous Prototypes Ian has a fantastic article “Editorial: Our friend Microchip and open source”…
It’s great that Microchip invested in the Arduino open source IDE. Unfortunately the contributions seem to stop with support for their product. Parts of chipKIT toolchain are still closed-source, and Microchip isn’t contributing open source drivers for the highly-advertised USB and Ethernet features of the chipKIT Mega.
We buttressed this editorial by saying we’re huge fans of Microchip stuff. It’s their time-honored right to deal in closed source software – most companies do! With the chipKIT, however, Microchip wants to tap the Arduino buzz. They want promote products using the work of an open source community, but they’re not participating in the spirit of that community. It’s not illegal, it’s being a bad neighbor.
We urge Microchip to give something significant back to the community they’re tapping. Open source drivers for the chipKIT shield would be a great first step.
I have a much larger article on this topic coming out later, but I wanted to say I think it’s great to see Microchip coming in to the open-source hardware world and I’m really looking forward to them addressing some of the issues Ian outlined. Disclosure, I’m fairly certain Micrchip has sponsored MAKE in the past, present and future – at this time Maker Shed does not sell the chipKit(TM) Uno32(TM).

We have heard from several customers who have been told that the Motorola DTR550 radio was discontinued. This is not true. Just to clarify, the DTR550 is still current and isn’t going away anytime soon!
So, what happened? The truth is, Motorola stopped making this unit available to a large number of their dealers. As an Authorized Radio Reseller for Motorola, we still have the DTR-550 and will continue to have access to them for the foreseeable future.
So, fear not, digital two way radio fans. the death of the Motorola DTR550 has been greatly exaggerated.

| We are now in the middle of the 2011 hurricane season. Hurricane Irene is now a large category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph. Irene is currently headed for the North Carolina shoreline and is expected to hit the Eastern seaboard of the United States by early Saturday morning. If you live or work along the East Coast, there is only one question to ask. Are you ready? Do you have a Hurricane Preparedness Kit? If not, FEMA has a checklist of Recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit so you can build your own. |
The first two items on FEMA’s list are obviously the most critical: water and food, in that order. The third item on the list? A Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both.
Radios that meet the requirements suggested in FEMA’s list include the following:
Two Way Radios
Midland GXT1000VP4 Radios With Headsets and Charger – The GXT1000VP4 is a powerful 5 watt radio designed for use in all types of weather. It is durable, water resistant, supports NOAA weather channels, NOAA weather alerts and includes a 3 year manufacturer warranty.

私は義務教育を終えて大学に行ったということがありまして、それほど苦労をしなかったということがありましたので、大学に行くために苦労をするという人のことについては考えが及ばないというようなこともあります。
しかし、世の中にはさまざまな理由で高校にいけず、大検というものを使って大学に行くという人もいるのです。
私の友人にこのような形で大学に来たという人がいました。
彼は入学したときからすでに２０歳を超えていまして、私よりも世の中のことをよく知っていました。
私と彼の考え方はまったくあわなかったのですけど、それが逆によかったらしく、彼の足りないところを私が補い、私の足りないところを彼が補ってくれるという理想的な人間関係を築くことができたのです。
もっとも、彼は経験が豊富でしたので、私のようなボンボンとは遊んでいられないと思ったらしく、すぐに別の友達を見つけてはばたいていきましたから、付き合いそのものは短かったのです。
しかし、彼と過ごした期間は若き日の私の大切な思い出になっています。
