So the best I can do right now is to refer you to other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>One that is definitely in my top 10 list of blogs right now is the <a href=\"http:\/\/sbcmadrid2012.ieee.si\">blog by the IEEE SB Ljubljana<\/a> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbcmadrid.es\">IEEE SBC 2012<\/a>! Most of you will probably ask what is IEEE, what is an SBC? The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, read I-Triple-E) is a professional association &#8230; well you can look that up on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers\" target=\"_blank\">wikipedia<\/a> yourself. Basically it&#8217;s a worldwide network \/ non-profit organization for engineers of all ages, colors, &#8230; and they have Student Branch Congresses (SBCs) every year, where students from all over the world meet to discuss the latest trends in EE and to &#8230; well &#8230; just meet each other. And that is what the <a href=\"http:\/\/sbcmadrid2012.ieee.si\" target=\"_blank\">IEEE SB Ljubljana blog<\/a> is about.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s what I suggest you should do: If you are an engineer and not an IEEE member yet, get a membership NOW and try to get to the next SBC. You can thank me later. What is in it for you is meeting some of the brightest, most inspired, open-minded, innovative people you will find out there, a mix of great minds with cultural backgrounds as diverse as the cities where these events are being held and memories and experiences that you won&#8217;t forget too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I was fortunate to write one blog post for my friends from Ljubljana, which you can find at <a href=\"http:\/\/sbcmadrid2012.ieee.si\/?p=296\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sbcmadrid2012.ieee.si\/?p=296<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sbc737.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-487 alignnone\" title=\"SBC2012\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sbc737-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sbc737-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sbc737-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.chschmid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sbc737.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at the amazing amount of blog posts that I&#8217;ve written so far (can you hear the sarcasm?), I guess I&#8217;ll just have to admit it: I&#8217;m not much of a blog writer.
