GPS Orb Tracks On The Playa I would love to have gone to the playa to do the orb test!

We bought a TIG welder (a Lincoln Electric Precision TIG 225 with foot pedal and cart) so we can weld together the orbs for SWARM. I played with it yesterday with Michael and weeee!

This in from BMORG. Every one of these projects is worthy of appreciation. We’ve just completed our biggest and most challenging grant cycle yet, with 240 proposals to review, up from 170 last year – a 35% increase.

Dear Lazyweb, I’m working on an project where we will have 5-10 robots moving around a large field… 100-1,000 yards. Right now we’re planning on using a mix of differential GPS, accelerometers and and a kalman filter so the robots can determine their position to within 1 meter or less. This may or may not […]

I have been starting a business with my girlfriend, Charlotte. We are tentatively calling it Safe and Secure. It is an earthquake preparedness business where we go to people’s homes and institutions and ready them for the kinds of earthquakes that we inevitably have here in northern California. It’s turning out to be quite interesting […]
