Have a look at the slide deck: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.girardin.org\/fabien\/presentations\/girardin_claro_2012.pdf\">it starts with a reference to Napol\u00e9on Bonaparte &#8216;Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu&#8217;un long discours&#8217;<\/a>, goes through the uses of sketches as part of any creative work exemplified by Le Corbusier, and concludes with Picasso and the art of sketching.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/36734582?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"580\" height=\"384\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Okay. What else? In Los Angeles, we used a solder paste stencil for the first time. Impressed. Good stuff. Definitely worth $25-$50. You can tell in this video I haven&#8217;t used solder paste in awhile..I forgot to put the proper hot, hot air on so I&#8217;m basically just blowing balmy air on the board. More practice, again. I have to say, the stencil is definitely a time saver. Although, I&#8217;m still going to get a big-ass pick &#8216;n place machine cause that&#8217;d make it even faster to get boards done.

We found weird things and Nicolas found a fantastic mint-condition Polaroid in its crushed red velvet case. Lucky old salt. Prior to that, his week was focused on both phone call with Lift12 speakers and the final presentation for the head-mounted display project, which went fairly well. Results from this field study are kind of secrets so far but there will eventually be a publication about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week in Barcelona started with the pleasure of having Quadrigram making the cut of the finalist of the Strata 2012 Startup Showcase.
