Two items of note

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

First of all, I see on CNN that ebay has been hacked, and they want all 
users to change their passwords starting Thursday afternoon.  Given this 
groups propensity to buy stuff from ebay. I thought this was important.

Second, I just purchased a printrbot Plus 3D printer.  It is a fairly new 
design, can print with several types of filament, has a heated bed, etc. 
Not too cheap, and not the most elegant looking device, but I'm looking 
forward to playing with it.  It also has a sensor to calculate the bed 
leveling in software.  Info at printrbot.com.  It's weird dealing with this 
company.  No phone, no email, sometimes slow to respond.  You must either 
open a "ticket" (which they occasionally check), or tweet them.

I also bought a second extruder upgrade kit.  I plan to make some boxes for 
projects, and was thinking of adding a layer of conductive filament inside 
the ABS plastic box, to reduce RFI.

Lots of toys, little time...
