As autumn paints the Shenandoah Valley in golden hues, Frederick County's agricultural community prepares for one of its most anticipated events: the Fall Farm Crawl. Hosted by the Frederick County Homesteaders, this annual celebration invites locals and visitors alike to step beyond the farm gate and experience the heart of the region's rural heritage. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael welcomed a panel of passionate farm advocates to discuss the upcoming event. Joining her were Sam Armel, the driving force behind the Frederick County Homesteaders; Jaclyn Mommen from Patti's Place at Laurel Grove Wine Farm; and Christa Nahhas, steward of La Grange Family Farm. Together, they painted a vivid picture of what makes the Farm Crawl a must-attend experience. A Mission Rooted in Connection Founded in 2022, the Frederick County Homesteaders emerged from a desire to reconnect the community with its agricultural roots. “Our mission is to connect farms, local businesses, and families to revitalize agriculture in Frederick County,” explained Sam. The group's initiatives include a biannual Shop Local Guide—part directory, part recipe book, and part love letter to the region's farms—and a series of hands-on workshops teaching everything from canning to bread baking. But the centerpiece of their efforts is the Farm Crawl, a self-guided, self-paced tour that opens the doors to working farms for one special day. “It's not a bus tour,” Sam emphasized. “You get to plan your own route, visit the farms that interest you, and experience firsthand the diversity of our local agriculture.” Meet the Farmers: Stories from the Land Each participating farm brings its own story and flavor to the event. At Patti's Place at Laurel Grove Wine Farm, Jaclyn and her husband have transformed a historic schoolhouse into a vibrant community hub. Their commitment to organic, regenerative farming is evident in every corner, from the market garden bursting with fresh produce to the innovative conservation cover crops. Visitors can enjoy hay bale tractor tours, sample farm-fresh fare at the café, and even explore a food forest where children are encouraged to pick their own snacks straight from the vine. La Grange Family Farm, under Christa's stewardship, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the valley. Housed in the historic McLeod house, the farm blends tradition with innovation. Christa, a former chef, has curated a “chef's market garden” and raises heritage animals with an eye for quality and sustainability. The farm offers historic house tours, a bustling farm stand, and a beloved “kidpreneur” fair where young entrepreneurs showcase their creations. “We want to be a collaborative point for the community,” Christa shared, highlighting the farm's open-door policy for local groups and families. A Day of Discovery and Delight The Farm Crawl is more than just a tour—it's an immersive experience. Attendees begin their day at Solenberger's Hardware store, where they receive maps, wristbands, and the coveted Shop Local Guide. The wristbands not only grant access to participating farms but also serve as a symbol of support for local agriculture. With a modest ticket price ($5 per person or $10 per group), the event is designed to be accessible for families, with proceeds helping to keep the experience affordable and inclusive. Throughout the day, visitors can explore a variety of farms, each offering unique activities: petting zoos, farm tours, hands-on demonstrations, and opportunities to purchase everything from beeswax candles to locally raised meats. The event also features a communal lunch, with options for different dietary needs, showcasing the bounty of the region. Preserving Heritage, Inspiring the Future Beyond the festivities, the Farm Crawl serves a deeper purpose. It fosters a sense of stewardship and pride in the land, encourages sustainable practices, and nurtures the next generation of farmers and food lovers. As Janet and her guests reflected, the event is a reminder that behind every farm is a story—a heartbeat—that connects us all. For more information on the Fall Farm Crawl, including tickets and participating farms, visit frederickcountyhomesteaders.com/farmcrawl or follow them on social media. Whether you're a lifelong resident or a curious newcomer, the Farm Crawl offers a rare chance to experience the valley's agricultural legacy up close—and perhaps, to become part of its ongoing story.

This episode is all about hardware, with none other than Jon Hirschtick, the mind behind SolidWorks and Onshape (onshape.pro/thebuildercircle). Jon has spent his career building the tools that engineers use to design, prototype, and ship world-changing products. We dug into the ethos of hardware development, what it takes to earn your seat in the engineering workflow, and how software can unlock (or block) real innovation in hardware. In this episode, you'll discover: ⚙️ How to turn a product idea into a real-world innovation. ⚙️ Jon Hirschtick's untold parts of the journey (SolidWorks & Onshape) + lessons from building world-changing tools. ⚙️ Why customer needs—not wants—are the true foundation of great products. ⚙️How to uncover real problems vs. surface-level requests. ⚙️ Strategies to earn your seat in the engineering workflow & drive adoption. ⚙️ Why usage trumps sales when proving product-market fit. ⚙️ Smarter ways to size markets & avoid founder pitfalls. ⚙️ How humility, curiosity, and customer visits fuel innovation. ⚙️ Why failure sits right next to success (and how to iterate fast). ⚙️ The 3 must-have software types every hardware team needs. ⚙️ Lightning takes on open APIs, modeling approaches, building in public vs. stealth, and more.

Un episodio muy de barra y tornillo: risas, confesiones y un repaso a la semana Apple con tono cercano y sin dogmas. Arrancan recordando que el podcast es entretenimiento tech (no una clase magistral) y se nota: iPhone 17 Pro Max que casi cae en la reserva, AirPods Pro 3 agotadísimos, bromas con India/China y fabricación, y el eterno “¿seguimos siendo el target de Apple?” mientras la alternativa tampoco enamora.En clave software, comentan el empujón de Apple a la IA (ese Foundation Models Framework para integrarla en apps), el salto forzado a Xcode 26, y las actualizaciones iOS/iPadOS 26.0.1 y watchOS para arreglar Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, fotos y VoiceOver: conclusión práctica—actualiza, insensato. También hubo caída de servicios (iCloud, Apple Music…), ya resuelta.En noticias y cultura pop: el troleo de KitKat al iPhone 17 Pro arrasa en redes; tráiler de “Down 70 Road” (Apple TV+) supera el millón de views; y se cita la cancelación de “Savant” con Jessica Chastain. Todo sazonado con la DMA de la UE, que abre pagos alternativos y obliga a cambios en App Store antes de fin de año. Hardware a la vista: rumores de nuevos monitores mini-LED (90/120 Hz) y repaso express de precios de Studio Display y Pro Display XDR. Entre herramientas, tips que valen oro: cómo escanear documentos con Notas (menú contextual, recorte, filtros y exportar a PDF) y el eterno debate Notas vs Notion vs Ulysses (más Omnifocus para GTD). Además, jugueteo con Raspberry Pi Zero para proyectos DIY de radio y hogar.Cierre con autocrítica y comunidad: agradecen feedback (incluida una reseña dura) y proponen encuesta en Telegram para orientar próximos monográficos (p. ej., Notas vs Notion). Espíritu de garaje, cero dogmas y muchas ganas de pasar un buen rato.Palabras clave (SEO): Apple, iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods Pro 3, iOS 26.0.1, Xcode 26, Foundation Models Framework, Apple TV+, Down 70 Road, Savant, DMA Unión Europea, App Store pagos alternativos, Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, monitores mini-LED, Notas de Apple, escanear documentos iPhone, Notion, Ulysses, Omnifocus, Raspberry Pi Zero.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/el-garaje-de-cupertino--3153796/support.

Send us a textSam Holland is a mechanical and product design engineer whose journey threads through influential design labs and breakthrough products—from MakerBot's pioneering 3D printers to livestream hardware at Vimeo, and now forging his own path through Informal.cc. At MakerBot, he served as Technical Lead on the Method 3D printer and spearheaded subsystems for the Replicator Z18, work that included patent‑winning innovations in gantry mechanics and extruder design. His move to Livestream and Vimeo saw him shaping products like Mevo Plus and Studio One, integrating sleek form and functionality for the live‑streaming era.In late 2018, Sam co‑founded Informal.cc in Brooklyn—a freelance collective dedicated to helping startups design, manufacture, and market hardware effectively. There, he blends expertise in CAD (OnShape, SolidWorks), design for manufacturing and assembly, vendor sourcing, and team staffing. Under his leadership, Informal has also launched the Informal Hardware Handbook, a community‑driven guide that chronicles best practices across ideation, manufacturing, and go‑to‑market strategy—rooted in real‑world experience navigating constraints like chip shortages and shifting product timelines.Beyond the drafting table, Sam brings products to life—some have reached audiences through QVC, CVS, Best Buy, and even Shark Tank. He couples doing with teaching, from presenting hands‑on hardware workshops at schools like Rock Point in Vermont to authoring product teardowns and insights on Informal's blog—most recently a teardown of a SimpliSafe Keypad and a love letter to OnShape as his “ride‑or‑die” CAD tool. Outside of engineering, he balances his design drive with drumming, cooking, and Vermont explorations.Here's a conversation with Sam Holland, where we'll dive into accelerating hardware careers, cracking the design‑to‑manufacturing code, and even that hilarious “Donut Hole‑Der” open letter to Dunkin'—because sometimes even frameworks for product engineering aren't spared a sense of humor.  LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/samholland-engineering/Click here to learn more about simulation solutions from Simutech Group.

In diesem QuarterlyStützle Update spricht Karo Junker de Neui wieder mit Vanessa Stützle, CEO der LUQOM Group, über die spannendsten Entwicklungen im deutschen E-Commerce. Alle drei Monate ordnen die beiden Markttrends, Herausforderungen und Chancen ein – dieses Mal mit besonderem Fokus auf Konsumstimmung, AI und Agentic Commerce. Zum Einstieg geht es um die neuesten Indikatoren von GfK und ifo: Die Einkommenserwartungen sinken, die Konsumstimmung ist gedämpft – auch spürbar auf der diesjährigen DMEXCO. Vanessa berichtet gleichzeitig, wie sich LUQOM trotz des schwierigen Umfelds entwickelt: hoch einstelliges Wachstum, steigende Profitabilität und eine erfolgreich abgeschlossene Refinanzierung. Anschließend greifen Karo und Vanessa das Thema der letzten Folge auf: Sheglam bei DM. Überraschend starke Konsumentenreaktionen haben die Debatte geprägt – doch beide bleiben überzeugt: Der Schritt von dm ist strategisch richtig und zukunftsweisend. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dieses Mal auf AI und Agentic Commerce: Die beiden sprechen darüber, wie Unternehmen es schaffen, Pilotprojekte erfolgreich in die Breite zu bringen, warum das richtige Mindset und die Unternehmenskultur entscheidend für den Erfolg von AI-Integration sind, welche Rolle Agentic Commerce für Händler spielen könnte und wieso Vanessa einen engen Zusammenhang zu neuer Hardware wie den Smart Glasses von Meta und Oakley sieht. Das Gespräch im Überblick: 2:35 Marktlage und Stimmungsindizes 7:07 LUQOMS Erfolge und Herausforderungen 13:36 Sheglam bei dm und Kundenreaktionen 17:51 Blick in die Zukunft mit AI 23:38 Agentic Commerce und Kundenerlebnis 28:52 Herausforderungen für den Handel 35:25 Zukunftsvisionen im E-Commerce Podcast-Host – Karo Junker de Neui: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karojunker https://etribes.de/ Newsletter: https://www.kassenzone.de/newsletter/ Community: https://kassenzone.de/discord Disclaimer: https://www.kassenzone.de/disclaimer/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/KassenzoneDe/ Blog: https://www.kassenzone.de/ E-Commerce Buch: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/3866413076/ Plattformbuch 2024: https://amzn.eu/d/1tAk82E Tassen kaufen: http://www.tassenzone.com Kassenzone” wird vermarktet von Podstars by OMR.

Hardware startup Nothing said Thursday that it plans to make its affordable device brand, CMF, into an independent subsidiary with India serving as its headquarters for manufacturing and R&D. The company first launched CMF in 2023 with a pair of earbuds and a smartwatch. Since then, it has introduced smartphones under the brand as well. Also, the accelerator has introduced a new application track called Early Decision, designed for students who want to start companies but don't want to drop out. The program allows them to apply while still in school, get accepted and funded immediately, and defer their participation in YC until after they graduate. For example, a student applying in fall 2025 could graduate next spring, then participate in YC's Summer 2026 batch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Building flying robots is 10x harder than building apps - here's why"And this conversation will blow your mind!

professorjrod@gmail.comThe digital world seems like magic to many, but behind every functioning computer is a complex system of hardware components and methodical troubleshooting approaches. In this comprehensive episode, we pull back the curtain on what makes IT specialists effective problem-solvers and explore the physical heart of computing systems.We begin by examining the role of IT specialists as workplace heroes who tackle everything from simple password resets to complex network outages. Through real-world stories and practical examples, we highlight how the best tech professionals combine technical knowledge with crucial soft skills like communication and organization. You'll discover why explaining complex concepts in plain language is just as important as understanding those concepts in the first place.At the core of effective IT work lies a structured troubleshooting methodology. We break down CompTIA's six-step approach: identifying problems through careful information gathering, establishing theories of probable cause, testing those theories systematically, implementing solutions, verifying full functionality, and documenting everything for future reference. This methodology isn't just exam material—it's a framework that professionals rely on daily to solve real-world tech problems efficiently.The episode then ventures into hardware territory, exploring the motherboard as the computer's central nervous system. We discuss different form factors, installation procedures, and potential pitfalls like electrostatic discharge. Our journey continues through the evolution of connection standards—from early USB and display technologies to modern Thunderbolt and USB-C implementations—and the expansion cards that enhance computer functionality.Whether you're studying for CompTIA certification, working in IT, or simply curious about what happens when you call tech support, this episode provides valuable insights into the methodical thinking and technical knowledge that powers our digital world. We wrap up with practice questions that reinforce key concepts and prepare you for both certification exams and real-world scenarios.Subscribe to Technology Tap for our continuing series on CompTIA A+ certification topics, with our next episode diving into storage technologies from traditional hard drives to cutting-edge NVMe solutions.The Dom Sub Living BDSM and Kink PodcastCurious about Dominance & submission?

Dr. Stephen Beaton is Co-founder and CEO of Circularity Fuels, which develops compact reactors that turn waste carbon streams into high-value fuels and chemicals. Rather than compete with fossil fuels from the start, Stephen identified high-purity methane for lab-grown diamonds as a beachhead market—where Circularity's product is 80–90% cheaper than incumbents while proving the core technology needed for clean liquid fuels.Stephen earned a chemistry PhD at Oxford and built deep expertise in synthetic fuels during his U.S. Air Force career, including overseeing jet fuel quality control in the Middle East and launching the Air Force's e-fuels program. His insight: build a fuels company that doesn't begin with fuel.Today, Circularity Fuels operates demonstration reactors in diamond facilities and is scaling toward biogas-to-SAF production using the same reactor platform. The company has raised $3M in venture funding, including from DCVC, plus $5M in grants from ARPA-E, NSF, and the California Energy Commission. MCJ is proud to be an investor.Episode recorded on Aug 12, 2025 (Published on Sept 16, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [03:09] Dr. Beaton's background in clean fuels[07:31] His work with Air Force petroleum in the Middle East[10:12] A brief overview of hydrocarbons[13:08] ESAF as resilience for Pacific operations[16:22] What e-SAF really means and why it matters[19:24] Circularity Fuels' origin story[21:20] The company's three principles[23:04] High-purity methane for diamonds as a beachhead[27:46] Recycling diamond exhaust with microwave-sized reactors[30:40] Building a fuel company without fuel as the initial product[34:35] Hardware sales vs metered methane service model[39:05] Biogas-to-SAF pathway via Fischer-Tropsch[42:38] Circularity's progress to date[44:01] Competing with fossil jet and carbon removals[48:41] How Circularity secured non-dilutive funding Enjoyed this episode?
