[00:06] <jrwren> anyone into doing ASP.NET dev? https://www.autobooks.co/about.html is hiring. Ping me if you are interested.
[10:55] <rick_h_> morning
[12:09] <cmaloney> Good morning
[12:09] <cmaloney> brousch: There's an AIY kit winging its way to you
[12:09] <cmaloney> Courtesy of waldo323 and I
[12:22] <brousch> I don't care what everyone says, you East-siders aren't so bad
[12:23] <rick_h_> hmmm, maybe. I'm not so sure :P
[12:36] <brousch> OK, so if I put together a Sunday Microcenter Day Trip with a few fellow makers, what would you suggest as another stop?
[12:37] <rick_h_> cmaloney's house
[12:38] <rick_h_> he'll provide beverages in the back yard and extension cords to power purchases :P
[12:38] <cmaloney> You might be able to arrange a trip to i3 if you contact them first
[12:39] <cmaloney> i3 is the makerspace out here
[12:41] <cmaloney> There's also several pizza places in the area if you want Detroit-style pizza
[12:42] <cmaloney> If you have any games there's GOBREtail on 14 and Rochester road (just east of it)
[12:42] <cmaloney> east of 14 that is
[12:58] <brousch> The 2 people I think most likely to go aren't gamers and aren't drinkers. i3 is good idea
[13:32] <waldo323> wile not necessarily something for all makers, if you have any camping/hiking/outdoor sport needs a trip to one of the 2 REI stores could be a good place to visit
[13:37] <jrwren> is there REI over there now? I thought Ann Arbor was the only one.
[13:37] <rick_h_> there's been one at 16mi for years
[13:38] <jrwren> cool.
[13:47] <cmaloney> Yeah, it's still there last I checked
[14:07] <cmaloney> https://bridge.joinmastodon.org/
[14:12] <waldo323> Northville (6 mile and haggerty) has one and it has been there since at least 1999/2000
[14:12] <waldo323> oi so I guess there are 3 stores
[14:12] <jrwren> oh yeah! i forgot about that one.
[14:13] <jrwren> that has been there for a LONG time.
[14:13] <jrwren> i'm blinded by Ann Arbor.
[14:13] <waldo323> when we moved from grand rapids to the detroit area my dad was pretty excited about the one in northville as there weren't any in grand rapids
[14:21] <rick_h_> yea, and that northville one seems to have more stuff in stock than the troy one
[14:42] <cmaloney> The Troy one seems like an after-thought at times. ;)
[14:43] <cmaloney> not that I go to REI much, but it seems like it
[14:45] <jrwren> man, I bet REI corporate would LOVE to hear this conversation.
[14:45] <jrwren> why does it feel like an afterthought?
[14:46] <rick_h_> heh, I hit up the troy one all the time since it's easiest for me to get to
[14:46]  * rick_h_ is a long time member and look forward to rewards season
[14:49] <cmaloney> jrwren: Could just be me projecting.
[14:49] <cmaloney> I'm not exactly the most active egg in the carton
[14:49] <rick_h_> active egg? /me wonders
[14:50] <cmaloney> http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1253155 <- active egg
[14:50] <rick_h_> oh wow, would not have made that connection
[14:50] <cmaloney> heh
[14:50] <cmaloney> I retro-made that connection
[19:51] <DrDaemonEye> Well, I am getting laid off at the end of the month
[19:55] <cmaloney> Yay
[19:55] <cmaloney> I mean boo
[19:55] <cmaloney> but at least you have some time to get things lined up
[19:55] <DrDaemonEye> yep
[20:05] <cmaloney> Hoping hte search is short and fruitful
[20:05] <cmaloney> LMK if I can help it, even if it's someone to commiserate with
[20:07] <DrDaemonEye> thanks cmaloney
[20:08] <cmaloney> np
[20:09] <waldo323> what type of position will you be looking for? and what location?
[20:10] <DrDaemonEye> waldo323: Junior/mid software dev or sys admin in the A2 area.
[20:27] <greg-g> dang, everyone in here
[20:27]  * greg-g knocks on wood
[20:29] <DrDaemonEye> Nope, just us ghosts
[20:31] <cmaloney> The great 201X shakeout
[20:31] <cmaloney> I say we just make a giant computer co-op
[20:32] <cmaloney> And play with a lot of tech toys
[20:32] <cmaloney> we can call oruselves ToysRUs
[20:32] <cmaloney> I think they're done with the name

[21:38] <cmaloney> widox: Wow

[21:38] <widox> I purposefully quite though
[21:38] <widox> cmaloney: haha
[21:39] <cmaloney> widox: Ah, that's good to hear (that it was purposeful)
[21:39] <widox> I need to make it out soon. been too long!
