Cattle and Mountains

Winter made its heavy entry in Switzerland last night, covering my home with 5 centimeter of wet and heavy snow. High areas received up to 1 meter which caused a lot of problems. Instead of sharing that rather unpleasant snow (I am more of the glaring white powderish snow person), I can share how things looked before: Colorful trees with snow-covered mountains in the back, cattle still can have a mouth of green grass. I already guessed on Sunday that this will not last for long…

How NOT to Solder Headers on a Board
There are two basic strategies in teaching:

I usually do the first method. But there is a lot of value in the second method too!
When I asked all student groups to solder the headers on the Freescale FRDM-KL25Z board, I received one report that the board does not work any more. A quick inspection of the board showed this:

When the grass turns brown, orange and red in the Alps, then winter is coming soon.

Vapour Trail above Wing
During take-off last week on my Sunday Morning Flight, I noticed a fascinating thin vapour trail above the wing, coming from the jet engine of that Boeing 767-200ER:
