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. |

Interesting Mini-sumo build
This mini-sumo design by Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin features our wheels, and one of our favourite building materials, Sintra. We can't laser-cut sintra (PVC=bad stuff when burned), but milling it works well, as this builder shows.
