147: Bolts for Tuco

Micah Elizabeth Scott (@scanlime) joined us to talk about her new art and engineering projects.

Micah's site is misc.name/ and her YouTube channel is micahjd. She launched a Patreon page.

Wiggleport has its own site (wiggleport.org) and github (github.com/wiggleport). Check out the art in the repo! The Bela project on kickstarter has some overlap.

Micah will be keynoting the 2016 Open Source Hardware Summit in Portland in early October.

Her Eclipse project (video) was at the NEAT exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, CA. 

Micah has been on Embedded.fm before: 101: Taking Apart the Toaster (mostly about Coastermelt) and 41: Pink Universes Die Really Quickly (mostly about FadeCandy).

Micah mentioned Boldport and the kit-of-the-month club. (Video of her building the first one!) Also: the BigClive channel on YouTube.

Thank you to Planet.com for sponsoring the contest. Check out Planet.com/careers!
