|
The Stream : The future of drone technology This YouTube video features some interesting discussion about Drones (quadcopters and the like) and the way robotics is headed, technologically and ethically. |

Protospace - Edge Lit Acrylic Our pals at the local Calgary hackerspace have been to work with their laser cutter, making impressive edge-lit acrylic badges using a watch battery and a basic LED. |

Edmonton Hackerspace Opening The Edmonton New Technology Society (or ENTS, but not to be confused with large walking tree-beings) is a new Hackerspace, and has its grand opening one June 2nd, from noon to 8:30pm. |

NASA Soldering in Space This is a few years old, but still super cool. This story from NASA details some astronauts on board the International Space Station. As described by Dave, our fearless leader, when he submitted this link, it's "Soooodering...in SPAAAAACE". |
