  • RotoMAAK: Rotocasting Done Right | EE Times

    RotoMAAK: Rotocasting Done Right | EE Times.   After the printing press was invented, there was a long lag in between when Photocopying was invented. It’s time to do the same for 3D printing. Don’t print all originals, duplicate them instead with a Rotocaster like the RotoMAAK. Make sense doesn’t it? Especially considering the cost…

  • Make Way For More Flexible, Business-Focused Raspberry Pi

    Wow this has gotten my brain to working overtime. How small can you go with System on Chip like fully integrated Raspberry Pi modules? Could you fit this not just on an SO-DIMM but also maybe an SDXC sized memory card? Or a Micro-SDXC card? Imagine that. And if you want to see an even…

  • Microsoft Shows Off Windows 8.1 Update 1

    I got the updates (as far as I know) off of that New Zealand file share about 2 weeks ago. Everything seems to be working fine where I’ve done the upgrade. It does make Win8.1 more palatable. I think now MS should just keep refining it ever quarter or so. One of these versions will…

  • Cargo-culting [managers are awesome / managers are cool when they’re part of your team] (tecznotes|Mike Migurski)
