 Element14's 2013 Community Awards and CES Decompression by Amelia Dalton With the Consumer Electronics Show drawing to a close, it's time to reflect and decompress. In this week's Fish Fry, we meditate on the electronic engineering wonders and winners of the 2013 element14 Annual Community Awards with Dianne Kibbey of element14. And, if you're still tense after a solid week in the consumer electronics playground, you are certain to enjoy the soothing waters of PADS board design software. This week, we unveil a whole new way to binge on your favorite Chalk Talk webcasts with the launch of an exciting new series that might make you rethink your board design strategy. We're giving away a GertBoard (courtesy of Newark element14) to one lucky listener this week! Head on over to element14.com/fishfry to enter to win. Read More | |

 Out of the Fab and Into the Frying Pan
Fryin' up Some Semis with Mike Gianfagna
by Amelia Dalton
In this week's Fish Fry, we're throwing some FR4 on the barbie and frying up a side of silicon -- eSilicon to be exact. My guest is EE Master Chef Mike Gianfagna from eSilicon. Mike always joins Fish Fry around this time of year, and this year we are discussing the state of the semiconductor union: what's keeping us hungry for Moore, and what trends are boiling on high. Also this week, we check out a new crowdsourcing event called "The Iron Man Factory" that could make your dreams (and mine) of a 3D printed Iron Man suit a reality...if they can get Marvel to agree to it. | |

 Body Dashboard
Talking Wearables with Jawbone VP Ivo Stivoric
by Amelia Dalton
Alright, Fish Fryers - let's do some visualization. You're wearing some kind of device. It's monitoring your vital signs, it's measuring your activity, and it knows if you've been naughty or nice. What names come to mind? Fitbit? Jawbone? BodyMedia? In this week's Fish Fry, my guest is none other than Ivo Stivoric. He's the former co-founder, CTO, and VP of New Products at BodyMedia, the current Vice President of Research and Development at Jawbone, and a Croatian dancer extraordinaire. Join us, won't you? | |

 Hackers, Makers, and Teachers
Ben Heck, UVM Primer, and Printing with Metal
by Amelia Dalton
The year is drawing to a close, and the snow is falling, but the friday fun is just heatin' up. Our first guest is none other than Ben Heck from element14's wildly popular engineering television series "The Ben Heck Show". Ben gives us an exclusive preview of the next season of "The Ben Heck Show" and lets us in on how he got into this crazy business. Also this week, author Ray Salemi is here to light our way to a special place called UVM land. He's written a new book called "The UVM Primer: A Step-by-Step Introduction to the Universal Verification Methodology" and he's here to break UVM down into its geeky bits and pieces. Finally, we close up this week's Fish Fry with a discussion about some innovative open source plans that could bring 3D metal printing right to your work bench. Saddle up, my friends, the fun is about to begin! | |

 Bright Ideas and Big MCUs
by Amelia Dalton
This week's Fish Fry takes on Black Friday* -- no coupons needed, and no standing in line necessary! In honor of today's annual celebration of America's shopping obsession, we go behind-the-scenes to check out the engineering ideas (big and small) that drive this gift-giving season. Dianne Kibbey (element14) rolls in with a shopping cart chock-full of innovation from element14's Smarter Life Challenge, and Rich Hoefle (Microchip Technology) delivers the goods on the world's fastest single-core 32-bit MCUs. (Can you imagine our holiday gift-giving season without MCUs? Neither can I.) | |
