Chris and Elecia talk about memetics, learning, and processors.\\xa0

Elecia was coy about the Pasadena party May 9th and 10th, but Hackaday announced it so you can invite yourself. She will also be speaking at the Solid conference\\xa0in June in SF (email for a coupon!). She\'ll also be at ESC-Silicon Valley in July.\\xa0

Star Wars Teaser #2\\xa0and SpaceX almost-landing

BLE fun: TI\'s CC2640\\xa0and Nordic nRF51822\\xa0(Elecia likes the BLE Nano with the free, online\\xa0mbed compiler for getting started with the nRF5122).

Everything seems to be a Cortex-M0 these days (including the aforementioned\\xa0CC2640 and nRF51822). The new Atmel\\xa0SAM-L series is Cortex-M0 and\\xa0even more low power than usual. On the other hand,\\xa0the\\xa0MSP432 is low power and is a more powerful Cortex-M4\\xa0(and inexpensive dev kits!),

Elecia has a book:\\xa0Making Embedded Systems. It makes a great gift.
