It's called Ableton Live... they didn't invent the idea, but they're easily the most popular software for building and playing layered loops. Lots of artistry goes into authoring the loops themselves before you ever get to th

I've had my eye on this LEGO robot kit for my kids, at $49: http://meetedison.com/ I'm also excited about the possibilities of expanding LEGO kits with 3D-printed parts as print resolution continues to improve. Y

Stanford Hospital was using sample-delivery robots as early as the 90s... I remember being amazed that they could use the elevators. They were a lot bigger and clunkier than the TUG, of course, and probably one-off prototypes.

Awesome, this is really well done. I especially like how the hint function reminds you of the rules you've forgotten.

Interesting... rather than being an interactive circuit simulator as I expected, this is an engine for emulating circuits composed of 7400-series logic chips, 555 timers, etc., defined at compile time. It includes definitions for several g

Kids toys and clothes. Lots of wooden train tracks and K'nex. There's a big second-hand market for kids' stuff as a lot of it is built to be indestructible, but it only gets used for a few years. And parents are cheap. So

Fun to read... I was doing a summer internship that involved DNA sequencing around this same time period, it all sounds very familar. Wet lab work is ultimately what convinced me that I wanted to work in computational biology rather than s

The only customer involved is Sparkfun, they were purchasing the meters for their own stock. Nobody had pre-ordered them. Not sure what SparkFun campaign you're talking about.

Dreambox is a good online option for self-directed math exploration. Otherwise the best results will come from interaction... be prepared to answer lots of questions, and ask lots of interesting questions. There are plenty of fun games you

Working great with vagrant+VirtualBox here on Windows. I initially set it up to try out the CTF docker image, but it's working fine straight out of the precise64 box (+ an apt-get git)

PWNED! I've never been one to shout at my computer, even in multiplayer games, but I've been doing plenty of yelling over here, and a few victory dances too. This is AWESOME, thank you for putting it together. This should be man

TKGate ( http://www.tkgate.org/ ) is an awesome visual tool for discrete logic simulation, and comes with a toy processor as an example circuit. I implemented a simple 32-bit MIPS-like processor in TKGate as well as the DLX

$69 is the upfront fee for a 1-year "light utilization", you pay hourly on top of that at $0.039/hour. Note this is half of the $0.080/hour normal price (non-reserved). If you wanted a dedicated (100% utilization) reserved small Linux ins
