[hackerspaces] GGHC info and Eagle CAD Tutorial from Hack-a-Day

[Jerry Isdale]

It seems the rewards for the Element 14 (aka Newark) are trickling out.
Sabrina Deitch sent out an email saying all participating spaces will be getting their promised 10 soldering stations, 10 rolls of solder wick and 10 lead cutters.   no word on ship date yet, but she said they would ship from E14 stock as local as possible to spaces. Hurrah. 

The folks at CadSoft (Thanks Ed) have come through with their promised copy of Eagle CAD - at least to MauiMakers (and I hope all the rest).

For those and others, it is timely that Hack-a-Day has released a video tutorial on YouTube...
