January 30, 2013 by Abby Robey Leave a Comment

Static electricity is not a friend to PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturers.  Static can cause component failures and a host of other issues.  Products that are “ESD Safe”, meaning they will not generate charge, are a requirement for PCB manufacturers as part of an comprehensive  ESD program.

Relax With Your Favorite Hobby or Craft Project

iHobby Expo 2012 – Will Cleveland “Rock”?

August 20, 2012 by Abby Robey 3 Comments

iHobby Expo

When I first heard that the HMA (Hobby Manufacturer’s Association) was moving the annual iHobby Expo from Chicago (Rosemont), Illinois to Cleveland, Ohio, I was, to say the least underwhelmed.  That feeling, however, lasted about 5 minutes.  I had to put aside my “creature of habit” attitude and realize that a new venue is good for everyone — especially the consumers in the Cleveland area that will have the opportunity to experience this event and meet with major hobby product manufacturers (like Xuron Corp)!
