Wired.com recently posted a very interesting comparison between the Wowwee/Hasbro BIO-Bugs, and the Sony Aibo. Interesting comparison! For those wanting more information, there's the BIO-Bug vivisection page at Solarbotics.net.
...oh, and they also should want to work with us.
We have a few positions open we want to fill with people that have a good sense of humour, have some geek qualities, and can tell the difference between a diode and resistor (or sincerely want to learn!)
Here are the types of
people we're looking for:
ubergeek specializing in microcontrollers &
other clever electronics. Atmels, PICs, and Stamps, oh my! Oh, and
discrete electronics experience is always a plus. Want to impress us?
Show off some 'bots & projects. Did I mention the fully-furnished
R&D lab you get to share? Even has Sherline Lathes and Mills to
better make projects with!
Purchaser/Coordinator/Ass't Manager. There's lots
going on here, so we're looking for a person that is comfortable with
tracking inventory, placing POs, and making sure they arrive and get
processed appropriately. In addition, this person will be the
administrative "Left Hand" (the "right-hand" position is already
taken!).
So if you have a sense of humour (an absolute
necessity - we like to working with people who like coming to work),
don't mind a dog and an occasional after-school child, and want to join
us up here in the Great White North (where it's truly beautiful), drop us a line
with your resume, your contact information, and if applicable, a
link to your website. (Solarbotics/HVW Technologies is a non-smoking workplace)

Cool! We've found some SC3782 (37x82 mm) solar cells! Since Panasonic ain't making these anymore, and there aren't many of these left, you'll only find them here at Solarbotics until they're all sold out. Get'em while they're hot!
We're having problems pinging the Yahoo BEAM list. With 800+ members, it's been the core way we've all be discussing things BEAM, so we're preparing for the worst. We're accelerating our deployment of a list replacement / backup / archive under solarbotics.net. We'll be attempting to send subscription invitation emails to members who posted messages […]
