cmaloneyWE're booked up through the summer (actually to 2019, scarily enough)14:17
brouschThat's incredibl14:17
cmaloneyI'm loving Mycroft, even though it's a little daft14:18
brousche14:18
brouschDo you use it?14:18
cmaloneyYeah, it's weird for us as well14:18
cmaloneyYeah, I have it in a Google AIY box14:18
cmaloneyDo you have the MArk I?14:18
brouschNo, I kickstarted the mark II14:19
cmaloneyAh14:19
brouschI'll just be running it in a Linux VM on Monday14:19
cmaloneyBut you've been playing with the desktop / picroft versions?14:19
cmaloneyCheck out Picroft if you get a chance14:19
cmaloneyit's kind of neat to see a $35 computer in action14:19
cmaloneyalso if you can get over to Microcenter you can pick up the AIY kit for $5-$1014:20
cmaloneyand the give it a nice box to live in14:20
brouschIt's been on my radar for a while, but I haven't dug into it. Then last week I helped a blind programmer with some stuff and realized how useful it could be to him14:20
cmaloneyYeah14:20
brouschI have 2 3D printers, so a cardboard case feels weak14:20
cmaloneyHeh14:20
cmaloneyWhat's cool about it is it includes the mic and hat14:21
cmaloneyIf you want I will happily pick one up and ship it to you14:21
brouschI hadn't heard of that kit. Very nice. This is $10 at microcenter? https://www.target.com/p/-/A-5341629514:23
cmaloneyThere's a different kit at Microcenter14:24
cmaloneyit needs a RPi3 to work14:24

cmaloney3B?14:25
brouschI think so14:26
cmaloneyYeah, if you're interested LMK and I'll pick one up / ship it14:26
brouschAh, it's everything except the pi. Nifty14:26
cmaloneysince they won't ship it (sadly)14:26
cmaloneyand unless you're coming over to this side of town soon it doesn't make sense14:27
cmaloneyOh geez, the next meeting is on the 18th?14:28
cmaloneyYeesh, I don't think it could get there in time14:28
waldo323road trip14:28

cmaloneyYeah, road trip14:29
cmaloneycome on out for CHC tonight. :)14:29
cmaloneyOK. I'll still pick one up then and send it off14:29
brouschI'll bet I could put together a Microcenter carpool event14:29
cmaloneyOh hell yes14:29
waldo323or each party drives an hour or so to lansing or whatever the mid point is14:30
waldo323microcenter trips are fun though14:30
cmaloneyAnd he fun thing is Microcenter is not that far from our house14:30
