I've now been to the Mall of America and Mall of the Netherlands.

Do other countries have similar? Is there a Mall of Lichtenstein or a Mall of France?

The famous traditional Dutch windmills

Ok train nerds, do your magic. What am I on?

Who cares about SI/PI conferences or sightseeing or hackerspace visits?

This is why you come to Gouda lol.

OH: "slice of lice"

Done at the Technolution SI/PI seminar and nowhere to be until my flight Sunday morning.

Currently planning to catch a train to Den Haag mid morning tomorrow, check into my hotel, get a rental bike, then ??

A visit to revspace seems pretty definite on Saturday, time uncertain. Might pop by Friday too depending on people's availability.

Geeking out over a very interesting 28nm SRAM bitcell that's nothing like I've ever seen before.

Won't spoil the surprise but it's super custom. 3cpp high and interleaved rows

So um... What level of high speed design nerdery is it when you walk up to the Samtec booth at a conference and correctly ID a bunch of flyover connectors and cables just by looking at them? Lol

Trying out the brand new (bugfix commit a few hours ago) Keysight Infiniium driver in ngscopeclient with a 6 GHz MXR at the Technolution probefest in Gouda

Every time I'm in .nl i'm amused by how well I can read things despite not actually knowing Dutch. If you know English and some German you can usually make a pretty good guess of what something means.

Product idea: padded cushion for a wooden bar stool so it's less uncomfortable to sit on for a long time.

You could call it a "stool softener"

Probing class seemed to be a success!

We ended up with eight students from around Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, playing with everything from the humble R-C divider probe to multi-GHz active differential probes. Seemed like everyone learned a lot.
