Top Five Twitter Posts: Linear Slides, Racing a Dragon Go-Cart and Exciting News About BWC's President

So much happened this week that it's no easy task to pinpoint just five of our favorite tweets. We said good-bye to our marketing intern, Eleanor Huddart, we announced that BWC President Pamela Kan was appointed to a statewide jobs taskforce by California Governor Jerry Brown, and KCBS scheduled a radio interview with our president next Friday to talk about her new role live on the air. To keep tabs on the latest and great at Bishop-Wisecarver, follow us on Twitter at @BWCnews!

4. Riding a 'Dragon Car' in a Gravity Race on www.LucyRogers.com: Our Twitter pal Lucy Rogers (@DrLucyRogers) blogged about her recent adventure in gravity racing! The author/engineer made her own go-cart modeled after the adorable dragon character in the animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" for a downhill race. In her post, she tells us via pictures and instructions how to assembled it. A fine example of "Motion Without Limits!" Way to be, Dr. Lucy!

5. A Photo Collage of Our Adventures at IWF Atlanta on Pinterest: If you haven't already, find us on Instagram at @bishopwisecarver (no space or hyphen). We post a bunch of snapshots from around the manufacturing floor, the machine shop and, of course, our adventures at trade shows and other events we attend. We recently cobbled together some of those snapshots into a photo collage of our time at the International Woodworking Show in Georgia. It's posted on Pinterest, if you'd like to re-pin it!
