Tomorrow (Fri 27th May) I'll be paying a visit to [Pimoroni](https://shop.pimoroni.com/) in Sheffield: a hotspot of innovation and enthusiasm for all things Raspberry PI. Pimoroni make their own products in the UK and are also a leading distributor of Adafruit, Sparkfun and other Maker-business products. ![Pimoroni Logo](/content/images/2016/05/shop-logo.png) My interest in Pimoroni started at CamJam where I bought scroll-phat add-on screen from Paul and went on to contribute to the Python library on Github by working with Phil (their developer). Last month I had an article published in Linux User and Developer Magazine featuring the scroll-phat and have another one coming soon for the pHAT DAC. If you like making and hacking I'd recommend taking a look at the tutorial in the magazine. > Missed an issue?

When the team invited me up to see them I jumped at the chance. I'll be on the BilgeTank - their live YouTube TV show at 15:00 GMT. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody and joining in with the antics on BilgeTank. #### Bilge Tank Episode 039 - Clusters, Docker, Brambles & Raspberry Pi Supercomputers! > [Bilge Tank 039 - Clusters, Docker, Brambles & Raspberry Pi Supercomputers!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASYnWV0Km_A) #### IoT Cluster Demo Last week I built an IoT (Internet of Things) cluster with four Raspberry PI Zeros and Docker Swarm. I'll be taking it along with me to demo. Click-through to the video for an explanation of how it works:
