Did you see the lunar eclipse on Monday night? I wish they had it rescheduled for Sunday afternoon, so all of us night-owls-who-have-to-get-up-early could watch that. But noooOOoOO. But at least the internet will save us. At least from information deficit.

Ex-Interns and their projects...

Jerome Demers, our ex-intern of two seasons, just sent me a link to one of his latest projects. The (sigh...) "Fart-o-Meter". He even put it up on Instructables too. Good to see the experience he got at Solarbotics is being put to good use...

Yaaaarrr! Solarbotics successfully board...

Ummm, yup! Here's an April Fool's joke for you - that April Fool's wasn't a joke! Solarbotics has indeed taken over the operations of HVWTech.com! The owner of HVWTech has new priorities in his life (about 1 year old, drooling, and crawling around on the floor), and decided to hand off operations to us. We're […]
