[islandlabs] Topics of interest for Wednesday's meeting

[Burns, William]

Yes.
I'd like to do a video if that's possible. (making use of the
key-cameras)

re: the label, packing tape will probably adhere very well to glass.
It'd be interesting to see what happens to a label if a tiny corner
isn't covered by tape.
