Year of the Rabbit

dougw

1 Jan 2024

2023

The year of the rabbit (peace and prosperity) - I don't think I would would characterize it as such, but at least December was a bunny month for me - posting 11 blogs in one month. The world may have entered a depressing phase, but element14 continues to be a great place to hang out despite the woes of the world.

This year saw some interesting road tests such as an ADALM-Pluto SDR, a Keysight E36731A Battery Eliminator and a Multicomp MP750511  arbitrary waveform generator. It also had some great experimenting design challenges such as the supercapacitor experimenting challenge.

The green theme for the year produced lots of awesome content and design challenge projects like Save the Bees got us out of the box learning new things.

There was tons of excellent content from numerous members such as Jan Cumps , shabaz , Gough Lui , scottiebabe , misaz  and extensive participation from beacon_dave , genebren and ralphjy .

None of these references are intended to be a ranking, they are just some off-the-top examples to remind us of the past year.

I am grateful to element14 and all of its members for providing such a consistently interesting, pleasant and enjoyable environment. 

Happy New Year everyone

I hope all of you and the rest of the world have a better year next year.

Doug

    Happy New Year to all!  dougw, you forgot to include yourself in the list of major contributors, ha ha, so, please, include yourself. There is a lot of excellent material this year, I have personally been pleasantly surprised by all the great material that Jan Cumps has published outside of competitions and my most sincere congratulations and thanks to shabaz for all that content that appears as "low cost...", they are exceptional gems. Without forgetting all the material published on the forums by scottiebabe , the conversations that are generated around everything she publishes are super fun and instructive.
