I wasn't very interested when the new Hakko FX-888 soldering iron showed up, but as I opened it and explored more, I got to thinking "Dang - this is a nice iron...".

We are at the Maker Faire!
Solar botics
May 26, 2009
Solarbotics and HVW Tech will be at the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend! If you have a chance to come out be sure to stop by and say hi, we'll be in our booth all day Saturday and Sunday. Also Dave will be doing a presentation in the workshop area over the weekend, so be sure to go and see him as well.
What all this excitement in San Mateo means though is that the Solarbotics/HVW Tech office will be closed on Friday May 29th and Monday June 1st and we will be opening on Tuesday June 2nd at noon. So this means any orders placed during that time will not be shipped until Tuesday June 2nd. Our apologies for any inconveniance this may cause, but if you need something fast (and assuming we've brought it to the San Mateo County Fair Grounds) come see at the Maker Faire and we'd be more than glad to hook you up.

Canada Day & 4th of July
We'll be closed Thursday June 1st, as it is Canada Day! Ah, time to take off the snow-shoes and swim with the polar bears, and eat snow-cones with our Husky dogs to celebrate Canada's birthday! It's worth noting that we will be open on July 5 (most of you Americans get Monday off, right?).
