Happy 4th of July!

Hey All,

Happy 4th of July!  Go eat some hotdogs, grill some burgers, and watch some fireworks.  That’s my plan for today 🙂

In other news….

Amazon is selling the Monoprice Maker Select 3D Printer at the incredible price of $279 with Prime shipping!  The Maker Select is based on the Prusa i3, and is considered one the very best reprap open source printer.  This price point is killer as well, since it is normally $350.


I couldn’t resist and purchased one (so my Makerbot clone will be up for sale in the near future lol).  I’ll be posting a review of it soon!

Thanks everyone!  Have a great holiday!

Sunday Post (Can I pretend it’s still Friday?): Pycon 2015

Hey All,

I can’t believe it’s getting to the end of 2014. What an amazing year this has been!

I just found out that my coworker and I have had our poster submission accepted into Pycon 2015’s poster presentation session.

I’m really excited that I get to again showcase my work in front of the Python community.

I hope everyone has a really great holiday! I look forward to writing my last blog post of 2014 next Friday.

Enjoy!
