[14:04] good morning [14:04] Good morning [14:07] morning, how was MUG? [14:08] social [14:08] and good [14:09] Yeah, we talked about Mastodon and the federated we [14:09] web [14:13] I'm going to talk about Mycroft AI at the next GRPUG. Open source Alexa/Siri/Google Home thingy [14:15] oooo nice [14:15] do you record your meetings? [14:16] No [14:16] But if it works well, I could maybe bring it to MUG later in the summer [14:17] brousch: That's awesome! [14:17] WE're booked up through the summer (actually to 2019, scarily enough) [14:17] That's incredibl [14:18] I'm loving Mycroft, even though it's a little daft [14:18] e [14:18] Do you use it? [14:18] Yeah, it's weird for us as well [14:18] Yeah, I have it in a Google AIY box [14:18] Do you have the MArk I? [14:19] No, I kickstarted the mark II [14:19] Ah [14:19] I'll just be running it in a Linux VM on Monday [14:19] But you've been playing with the desktop / picroft versions? [14:19] Check out Picroft if you get a chance [14:19] it's kind of neat to see a $35 computer in action [14:20] also if you can get over to Microcenter you can pick up the AIY kit for $5-$10 [14:20] and the give it a nice box to live in [14:20] It'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 him [14:20] Yeah [14:20] I have 2 3D printers, so a cardboard case feels weak [14:20] Heh [14:21] What's cool about it is it includes the mic and hat [14:21] If you want I will happily pick one up and ship it to you [14:23] I hadn't heard of that kit. Very nice. This is $10 at microcenter? https://www.target.com/p/-/A-53416295 [14:24] There's a different kit at Microcenter [14:24] it needs a RPi3 to work [14:24] not a 2? [14:24] http://www.microcenter.com/product/483414/AIY_Voice_Kit [14:25] I have a few 3s sitting around [14:25] I don't think it'll work with a 2 [14:25] 3B? [14:26] I think so [14:26] Yeah, if you're interested LMK and I'll pick one up / ship it [14:26] Ah, it's everything except the pi. Nifty [14:26] since they won't ship it (sadly) [14:27] and unless you're coming over to this side of town soon it doesn't make sense [14:28] Oh geez, the next meeting is on the 18th? [14:28] Yeesh, I don't think it could get there in time [14:28] road trip [14:28] Yeah, I won't have time to play with that before the meeting, but it would still be nice [14:29] Yeah, road trip [14:29] come on out for CHC tonight. :) [14:29] OK. I'll still pick one up then and send it off [14:29] I'll bet I could put together a Microcenter carpool event [14:29] Oh hell yes [14:30] or each party drives an hour or so to lansing or whatever the mid point is [14:30] microcenter trips are fun though [14:30] And he fun thing is Microcenter is not that far from our house [14:31] or the game store [14:31] We lost all of our radioshacks last year, so there really is nothing but Best Buy here any more [14:31] Yeah, Guild of Blades [14:31] Ugh. That sucks [14:31] or Office Depot, but that's hardly a replacement [15:05] Who's going to PyOhio? [15:06] I'm planning on it [15:07] I just made my reservation at the Blackwell [16:00] Nice [16:45] is the hardware on that voicekit open? [17:48] I'm not sure. [17:51] I don't think so [17:51] * Scary_Guy shakes fist [22:15] We think there might not be any power at the Bean & Leaf [22:15] in Royal Oak [22:30] oi [22:31] what about in your neck of the woods and places like microcenter? [22:39] heading out have a good evening
