Issue #290 - Stamp

Happy Friday!

Where has this month gone? You may be wondering what happened to the weekly dose of Raspberry Pi goodness in your inbox has been, and for that we apologise. Can we say the internet ate our emails?

This weekend, come and meet Alex at Maker Central, Birmingham, UK. And, for those across the pond next weekend, meet Alex, Matt, and the rest of the North America team at Maker Faire Bay Area in San Francisco!

Oh, and also, WE’RE ON A STAMP!

Have a great week, and we’ll see you next Friday — if the email-eating internet bugs allow it.

Peace,

Alex
