We hope you enjoy the articles on Electronic Design, but there's a lot going on and we can't cover everything. In this section, Electronic Design editors highlight articles they found this week that you might be interested in as well. 

Looking for a new technical podcast? Check out Justine Murphy's podcast series looking at vision and imaging technology. The latest is all wet, or at least taking a look at machine vision over and under water. 

• Focus on Vision: Detecting Objects at Sea, Inspecting Shrink Sleeves @ Vision Systems - This episode covers a machine vision system that detects obstacles at sea as well as another system to inspect flexible film labels for printing errors.

Ok, this week has another podcast. I have been listening to Robert Schoenberger over at Industry Week for a while. This one highlights what a lot of Electronic Design developers are targeting with their work. 

• Why Machine Shops Should Love Data Collection @ Industry Week - Hill Manufacturing & Fabrication President and Owner Mike Payne says simply tracking performance dramatically improved spindle uptimes, and operations improve continuously through monitoring.

While you can check out some of my podcasts in our Inside Electronics series you can also hear me sometimes on WDIY's weekly You Bet Your Garden. I've been on a few times since I have lots of questions about organic gardening. I'll let you find out which episode. You can't do software and hardware design all the time. 

With that, it is time to grind up some more leaves for my compost pile. Enjoy.
