I’m joined by guest co-host Paul Lawler for this special podcast recorded in-person and outdoors at a restaurant on a bay. Paul had a Mongolian Beef Bao sandwich and I had a Wonton Min noodle dish.

Bo Bo Bao: Noodle + Bao

ChessUp AI chess board

We discussed two of Paul’s recent interesting tech purchases starting with the ChessUp chess board with on-board AI; chess pieces that, when touched, cause the boar to light up to show legal moves in one mode and best moves in a second mode; an enhanced cloud AI; and the ability to play either the AI or another human.

Bambu 3D printer sample creations

We also discussed the Bambu Lap P1S 3D printer that is ready-to-print right out of the box with a build volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm (a bit over 10 inches in each dimension or roughly 1024 cubic inches)

Bambu Lab P1P 3D Printer $599USD

A bit of inside baseball about this podcast: Paul and I were sitting in an outdoor dining area next to a bay while recording this podcast. It was a breezy day and there were a number of people speaking while passing by. We were using a pair of wireless lavalier microphones using an iPhone 14 Pro running the excellent $4.99 Just Press Record app. The audio was cleaned up using Adobe Podcast Enhance and pitch corrected using the open source Audacity software.
