content: QuoteEx-hackaday, so no major surprise.Will be interesting to see how any view count jump compares with being on hackaday (maybe+3k on a good one) ... My guess would be less, much less, but we'll see

content: I would have liked if they mentioned that this wasn't your first thermal imaging device teardown.QuoteHe spelled dismantling wrong.I've often thought, either Mike is extremely good at reassembly, shoots videos out of sequence, or watches his own tear-down to put it back together.Whatever happened to the "Just Undo It!" tag at the end of the teardowns?

content: Quote from: Stonent on October 18, 2013, 08:31:00 amI don't know why he calls it surprising - it's hardly difficult - about 10 screws and a couple of clips. Now if I'd taken the lid off the sensor and got it back together, that would have been surprising...QuoteThat was specific to the Nike one but maybe I should use it more

content: Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on October 18, 2013, 09:47:01 amIt's surprising to someone who probably never takes apart something he didn't build himself or didn't intend to put back together in working condition again.

content: Quote from: grenert on October 18, 2013, 01:00:38 pmAs one of the main writers for hackaday (back when he was there) the article's writer was the primary reason I stopped reading it - Caleb and the 'journalists' he hired completely fail to grasp even the most basic tenets of the English language.It makes me very sad.

content: 28 extra views, and possibly one extra contract for Mike from there in the next year at a good rate. All good for the contract engineer who is good at his job and gives a good close to turnkey product.
