I think many of us are grateful for the community you have engendered and the shining example of generosity and of what is possible in the maker culture. We’re all the better for it. Thank you.

Thanks for a nice post and you’re welcome.

I am thankful that I at least have my health and found adafruit.com.

I’m an unemployed Electrical Engineer and can not get job interviews so I started to write-off electronic work altogether. The electronic job market here in Cleveland is rather bleak for me. This is more of a blue collar town.

But then I came across adafruit.com and I have renewed faith in the possibility to find work in what I love to do, which is learn, design, and build new things in electronics.

The electronic kits and open source community seems promising and I hope that I can contribute at any level, as an employee for someone or with my own small business and offer cool new gadgets.

Happy Holidays.
