The Chris Flyer....about to fly....

Well its pretty late here (11:13), and all of the sudden, I REMEMBERED! The story goes something like this...it was probably about a good 3-4 years ago when I was a young'n ;) and I was bombarding Chris with questions. He was getting a little bit finicky but, alas, I had one more question. So I told him something to the effect of "If you answer this final question I'll name my airplane the Chris flyer." I gave my airplane its maiden flight the other day (the one I have been tinkering with for…See More

3-D on the cheap!

Posted on May 1, 2009 at 7:30pm 4 Comments

While searching on my second favorite blog site, I stumbled upon a commercial 3-D printer for under.......$70,000? nope $30,000? wrong again! $3,000? WRONG! for under $1,000 the average Joe can now have his or her own 3-D printer! Unlike traditional 3-D printers which melt layer after layer of expensive nylon the CupCake CNC machine extrudes layers of HDPE or ABS plastic! The only negative I see out of this machine is the extrusions are about 1/2 of a… Continue

Prototype what?!?!?!?!?!?

Posted on March 13, 2009 at 3:49pm 2 Comments

I just recently got done watching "Prototype This!", they finished making a UAV that drops a life preserver within swimming distance of the victim! The victim wore a device that transmitted its location to a base station. This could be used as a valuable tracking device for police work because the UAV creates its own way points in order to follow and observe a suspect.

ATTOPILOT website!

Posted on November 9, 2008 at 12:30am 5 Comments

I just did a quick search and found that there was no blog post on the (fairly) recent opening of the "A T T O P I L O T" website! So, just in case your interested here is the website. They haven't began selling them yet ): so your gonna have to book mark it or RSS it (if you can) for future updates!

P.S. The website was opened on October 1st 2008
