Spent most of this week in San Antonio at the FIE Conference. Over 500 professors from 41 states and 26 countries. I took PSoC over to the Alamo ...

                  

Here are some other pictures from around the Alamo. It is much smaller than most people think! For those of you who do not know the story, the battle of the Alamo started the process of liberating Texas from Mexico in March 1836 The Texans lost that battle but ultimately triumphed over the forces of Generalissimo Santa Ana. The Alamo is the most visited tourist site in all of Texas.

And finally - Jim Bowie and his famous Bowie Knife

I am heading to San Antonio, Texas for the Frontiers in Education conference.  http://fie-conference.org/fie2009/  Stop by and say "Howdy!" if you are attending.

Here's some trivia ... You may have heard a song by the Doobie Brothers called "China Grove". Turns out China Grove is a suburb of San Antonio. Next time you hear from me I will be rembering the Alamo.

Have a great weekend!

Texas A&M 9/15:

Lots of travel this week. It begins in College Station Texas home of the Aggies! They are the first university to hear about PSoC3/5 the day after it has been announced! TAMU engineering have a multitude of projects in the wings that can take advantage of the “no excuses analog” and digital functionality of the new generation of PSoC that includes 8051 and ARM Cortex M3 technology.

 

 Houston 9/17:

Spent time at the University of Houston college of technology this week where I was happy to instruct 34 professors, TAs and students in the fundamentals of PSoC and CyFi. UH will be integrated PSoC and CyFi technology into their curriculum over the next several semesters. The profs. were especially interested in the 8051 based PSoC 3 and will be replacing the current 8051 classes with PSoC3 technology.

Drexel 9/18:

I was at Drexel on Friday. With Help from John Wisniewski (Cypress FAE) and Jude Brown (Cypress Sales) I was able to show the benefits of PSoC and CyFi to professors from Drexel’s ECE, Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering colleges. Prof. Prawat Nagvajara (the one and only member of Thailand's Olympic cross coutnry ski team!) came up with a unique idea for the PSoC3 First Touch Kit (FTK). I won’t say more except it involves a rocket, the accelerometer on the board and terminal velocity. Hopefully Prawat will send us some pictures of PSoC in flight!
