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. |

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". |

Well, I'm officially out of words, and again reverting to non-verbal expression. I already tried to interpretively dance the new product post before. That leaves me completely out of options here. So how about I sleep interpretively? Or breathe... Now, that's just plain weird. Better I sleepwalk then: 4-conductor, 20AWG ribbon cable (Blue, Green, Yellow, […]
Tasty Treats and New Treats, Too
A couple of weeks back we held an open house for Calgary's Protospace group. Many BBQ'd items were consumed, many objects were lazored, and many people seemed to be walking around in a stupor of admiration for all the nifty bits and pieces of equipment we have on hand.
