Q1: Hello, and welcome. Last week I asked what you hoped to make this week. Did that happen? Tell us about it, or about what you did do instead.

@MakersHour @[email protected] Nope! :D

I was hoping to have sent some new PCBs off for fabrication and instead I've cancelled and abandonded the whol projects.

I did get a blog post out of it, though.

Sometimes you have to bail out before the sunk costs sink you. Having a good idea isn’t the same as having a good product.

@mike @MakersHour @[email protected] I think we learn as much from each others #MakerFail s as we do from the successes!

It's good that you've written it up :)

@diyelectromusic @MakersHour @[email protected] Oh, yeah. 100% It was still a worthwhile piece of work, and at least I got a blog post out of it!
