Issue #167 - Vote

Oh hi,

This week… wow, it’s been a good one.

Tuesday was spent with the amazing participants of our Digital Making Day, building speakers, creating wearable tech, and getting our hands on Pi Cameras and Pi-Tops.

This week also saw the release of issue 49 of The MagPi, and your chance to vote for the top Raspberry Pi project for issue 50.

If that wasn’t enough, Wednesday afternoon saw Matt Richardson and Courtney Lentz take us all on a tour of our San Francisco office via Facebook Live. For once, the UK’s weather was nicer than theirs!

Anyway, I’m off to play some Wizard’s Chess and drink tea!

See you next week,

Peace

Alex
