Arduino Hackathon at OpenX Pasadena Fri 26 April Join the OpenX team in Pasadena for our first Arduino Hackathon! Free food. Free Arduinos. Learn C. Learn to solder. Build something. Get prizes. Please join us for an all-day hackathon where we’ll teach you how to use the Arduino including an introduction to electronics and C. Then, we will teach you how to solder, which is vital to building your own electronics. You can solder your own blinky pin and take it home to impress your family. Then we break into teams of 2-6 to build something to use in the real world. You’ll have lots of Arduino shields and electronic components to work with to build whatever you can imagine. Prizes will be awarded! ...

Endorsements are a good feature. I’m always behind on writing recommendations and this gives me an easy out for people that I haven’t written a recommendation for yet. If you don’t like this showing up on your profile you can hide that section. Hopefully linked-in will hear our concerns and improve this feature further. A lot of you seem to want to selectively delete individual endorsements. I hope they don’t waste their time on that. All I want is a button that says “never ask me to endorse person X again”. ...

Linked-in would tell me anymore so I’m not sure what I was sharing here.

I shared https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20121009151419-197425497-a-month-to-yourself/ where Jason Fried says: Here’s why I gave my company a month to work on whatever they wanted: http://www.inc.com/magazine/201209/jason-fried/why-company-a-month-off.html

Why does spam get archived in hours? Repeatedly across numerous groups I try to flag spam in Linked-In groups and I find that the message is already archived. I only found out about these posts because of the daily Linked-In emails, so these posts are being archived in less than a day, often in single digit hours. How could this be? The link associated with this post was meant to be an example, but the message board post is http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&discussionID=134866365&gid=1268377&trk=eml-anet_dig-b_nd-pst_ttle-cn&ut=0WocEMpkIQr5k1 ...
