I have made few attempts to keep this space updated and relevant over the past year, but ultimately failed. I have nearly completed my PhD so I have gotten extremely busy with finishing experiments and writing/editing my thesis. I still do analog and digital design in my day-to-day life, except, most of that work cannot be published here directly. I no longer plan on updating microblog, however, I will leave it up for at least the forthcoming months until the end of the internet in case anyone is interested in saving some information. Thank you readers, it has been a great ride!
Update: I had no idea that there were so many readers, so I will not disappoint and will do my best to keep this content up indefinitely. I may add in the future, but it will not be nearly as frequent as it was in the past.
P.S. I will be looking for an industry job in medical device design in the coming spring, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you are looking for an engineer.

Goodluck Nick,
And thanks again for that PIC die you sent me during your cleaning =)
Diego
Thanks Diego!
To echo Diego’s comment above — thanks for the great dies you sent my way, and thanks for your eye-opening photos. I wasn’t aware of how much beauty lay hidden within an IC’s plastic shell.
Best of luck!
Thanks Matt! I will try to post some more cool pictures if I get into IC design some day.
You know I’m sad, I’ve been checking back often to see if there has been any updates- I love your website as it is similar to stuff I do.(I’m currently in my first year of my PhD in Bioengineering) I’d love to hear about where and what you end up doing.
Thanks for the kind words, I will do my best to post sporadic updates but I no longer have the time for regular posts. Best of luck on your PhD!
Sad to see this very inspirational blog go.
Wish you the best of luck in your future career.

Hey, I work for a fast growing medical tech company, emphasis on disinfection in the UK. I know this isn’t your line of expertise, but if you not having any luck, drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do.
p.s. Interesting work you’ve been doing
This blog is a source of valuable information, thanks Nico!
Before a hundred people bring your servers to knees trying to backup it, how about making an official backup and sending it to a public torrent tracker to make it live forever?
Only just now discovered this via the Hackaday post, spent a bunch of time looking through it and already found quite a few very useful posts.
Please tell me this will be archived indefinitely
Oh no, why would you delete contents of this blog? There is some extremely valuable information here!
Regards!
Thank you for the kind words. I have had numerous requests for a backup of the blog so I am realizing that it would be foolish to simply delete it. I will do my best to keep microblog hosted indefinitely and might add content sometime in the future. Thank you again to all of the readers.
Thanks for all the good work in those years.
If I could comment, the decision of leaving the blog alive is a good one but, as bix said, a far better solution would be to release it on torrents and let it live forever.
Internet is built on quicksand, you know.
Thanks again.
sincerely

Hi Nick,
Very sorry to hear that the blog will be going into permanent hiatus but I am extremely happy that your PhD is almost complete!
Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Hey Nick! It’s time for a new post
