Hey, we survived MakerFaire, now we got new challenges. Good weather is one of them. But the internet can help. Stay put, there's nothing to see out there. The outdoor reality doesn't blink, pan or murmur, or at least not as often as those links below:
Stryfe Motor Replacement! A wicked nerf gun mod - using RM2 motors. Sure adds power and range. |

Giant New Sound Installation by Zimoun Inside an Abandoned Chemical Tank This is what I call re-purposing on a large scale! Take one gigantic abandoned toluene tank, 329 prepared dc motors and the same amount of cotton balls, and you got a huge permanent installation by the sound artist Zimoun. |

It was created using Raspberry PI and Openframeworks creative coding toolkit. Check out the video to see it in action. |

MakerFaire Pics As last, but not the least, we wanted to share some pics of the cool stuff and people from MakerFaire San Mateo that we managed to shoot in between working, schmoozing and... working some more. These are just the start, keep an eye on our photostream, there's more to come. |

Yeah, we warned you. We're not even in our office to write out this newspost. Nay, this is one of them fancy pre-recorded messages. It may or may not self destruct. So, yes, we're closed from May 19th (Thursday) to the 24th (Tuesday). We'll resume filling/shipping orders and replying to any correspondance once we're back […]
Thanks to an observant BEP user, a schematic inconsistancy in the IMx (Inverting Multiplexor) module was discovered, located, and eradicated. If you're interested in keeping your BEP documentation totally updated, get a fresh copy of it from here.
Word is Mark W. Tilden gave CBC Radio a nice interview that'll be aired right after the 10am news on your local CBC station. Not Canadian? Use the internet to your advantage. Use this link to find the station closest to your time zone (or earlier or later if you wish), and tune in!
