## Summary

Hosts Tom Nardi and Dan Maloney discuss the upcoming Supercon Add-On (SAO) contest, encouraging functional hardware designs that utilize I2C communication. They review several hacks, including a retro digital watch using HP HDSP-2000 displays and an ATtiny85, a high-speed polar 3D printer, and a project running MS-DOS 6.22 on a 2020 Lenovo ThinkPad X13. The episode also covers a stealth gutter antenna for ham radio, the state of modern 3D scanning, and introduces Kristina Panos's new series on Fordite, the industrial byproduct of automotive paint lines.
