The annual Teardown Convention was held in Portland, Oregon this year and had just ended. It is an event where hackers, hobbyists and designers converged and share their ideas, discoveries and inventions through talks conducted in various rooms equipped with the necessary AV equipment:
Portland, Oregon is the hometown of Joe Grand the kingpin so it's no surprise he graced the event with his presence and presentation. What aroused my interest, however, was a talk given by Jeremy Hong, a cool young dude from Wright State University who runs his own business. In his first talk at the convention, he actually recommended my book PCB-RE: Tools & Techniques to the audience:
How cool can that be? In appreciation, I tweeted him:
Thanks, Jeremy, for recommending my book at your Crowd Supply Teardown talk. I owe you a big one! ;)
to which he replied:
No problem! It’s an excellent book and it really needs to get out there.
Since he's also into PCB reverse engineering, I asked if he's interested to write a chapter for my third book, and I got more than what I bargained for:
Definitely! It is an honor. I think I may have a few people in mind (that may be able to contribute to the book as well...)
Well, looks like there is hope for the trilogy book after all...
