We are going places! And coming back! And going again! Does that sound familiar? I think I said that before. Yeah, that’s what we do, we are unstoppable indeed. In this case, we are very excited to be going to the Open Hardware Summit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as  a

really soon – on September 6, 2013. But before we set out on another trip, there's stuff to see here too:

AquaTop: a gaming touch display that looks like demon possessed water
Precisely - demon possessed water that you can touch. The Japanese are crazy. In a good way. Combine the passion for using info media in hot baths with Kinect and you got... right, demon possessed water.
MAV lab creates world’s smallest autopilot for micro aircraft
Perfectly tiny (only 1.9g and 2x2cm) autopilots for tiny zooming spying drones.
Retrotechtacular: The 10-year anniversary of plastic
Love this Retrotechtacular rubric at Hackaday! Check out a blast from the past video on 10-year anniversary of plastic - no one speaks like that any more...
[Update] Vladimir’s Robot Guitar
Who needs musicians now? I think we are done with that finger-muscle-joint human-powered stuff! Check this out, true mastery. Now someone has to compose music for more than 10 fingers.
Making keys after the apocalypse
Need some keys duplicated in the post-apocalyptic setting? This tutorial will show you how to make them. I bet they will be a hot fashion accessory, along with bottle caps and light bulbs.

Now that we've traveled all over the internet, I might wanna journey into the kitchenland to the microwave to get some foods… That was exhausting…

Project: Switching Beds for a Better Cut

We laser lots of wood and acrylic... like seriously, it's hundreds if not thousands of sheets per year. This volume of throughput tends to cause the lasers to build up a lot of gunk and debris that needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Besides being safer, it reduces the "flash" marks which are […]

Book special continues...

Well, the first 100 copies of "Junkbots" have officially been sold. But since I can't get enough of signing the inside cover of every book in the office, we're going to have to extend the offer until the ink in my pen runs out. So the Junkbots book/motor deal will last for until at least […]

Fire Stuff, Light Stuff, New Stuff

We don't know about you, but we're ushering in the New Year with a BANG. That's the sound our metaphorical sledgehammer of rage made while we beat the snot out of our internal server this week, after it refused to come into 2012 in an operational status. Fortunately, our crack IT squad has patched up […]

New Solarcell, the SCC2433a

In our continuing quest to find the successor to the Sunceram throne, we invite you to welcome the SCC2433a solarcell! It's the little brother to the SCC3733, with similar polycrystalline & epoxy construction. It's quite the power-house in direct sunlight, but be warned - the cell arrangment is skewed in favour of current generation, not […]
