This is the first installment of a regular column I’m entitling “The Skinny.” Pages like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have emptied many a tech’s wallet as of late. Need I remind everyone of HackRF?

Do you want to know how big that building is? Done. Trying to get the volume of your tool shed? You’re one picture away.

I think many of us may be $300 lighter by the end of 30 days.
