The universe works on supply and demand. Which means it’s all yours for the taking. — Danielle LaPorte

Ryan and I had a great time at our second year attending the ImagineRIT event at Rochester Institute of Technology.This is a technology expo of sorts that seems to be growing each year. It was at this event last year that Ryan found out about the RoboWeekend workshop we attended last June. There are a lot of RIT-affiliated groups there, so it seems to be an open house of sorts, but there seems to be more external groups presenting there as well.

I’m not sure how close they are to commercially marketing these devices, or if they are just looking for applications/developers for this stuff. In any event, this is really cool with a LOT of potential uses.

There are a lot of reviews of individual pieces of software that make up the suite of apps that someone needs to run a business, but rarely do you get to see a real-world example of a complete “solution”, especially with open source tools. Check out the great post on the Makezine blog about how Adafruit Industries runs things.

Hacking is no longer just an ’80s term for breaking into computer systems. In this new age of DIY, “hacking” is more about customizing and/or re-purposing something. This is a very cool material for just this. I definitely need to get some. With my household, I could use it more for repairs (toys, electrical, etc) than anything else.

After many years at GoDaddy (or GoSlowly, or Go<fill in the blank>) I have moved the blog to a new server via AppSalon. So it’s an opportunity to clean house and load up a new template. So, I’ll start things anew and see where it goes.
