Uhm. That's interesting to know.

I did read about it, but it was from some time ago.

Is the project still alive?

I have tons of issues designing PCBs, this can be useful for me.

Will there be an epub version?

Was expected Q3 2014...
I already have two books from Vincent: Visual Basic for EE and Mastering SMT. I now wait for two other nuggets from him: Jim Williams pulser and PCB book. Stars like to keep us waiting...

My guess is he got really really busy when he started at Tesla. Well, actually, that's a fact when you work for Elon musk

No, being Geek is a side effect that sometimes occurs to skilled engineers.
As it sometimes appears to unskilled loosers too.

Better not to identify like that when applying for a job.
If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat.

Of course, that's obvious. I don't know the hiring policy of Mr. Elon Musk, but I believed he mostly hired university freshmen.

Yes! Thanks a lot!

Will there be an electronic version to purchase? These days I try to avoid deadtree books, too much space and I prefer to be more minimalist about physical stuff.
