Make a RepStrap Robot (Part 2) – Weekend Projects Podcast
This week we’re building the hardware for the RepStrap! Working together with a team to build this robot was my favorite part of this whole process. The folks at Metalab, GRL Vienna, and Monochrome came together to make this project happen. At one time there were about 12 people all working on the project at 3 in the morning and the focus and excitement in the air was tangible. This project was on the same level as the drawbot and the near-space balloon. In all three of these projects, I’ve made great new friends out of sheer necessary and desperate collaboration!

Survive Zompocalypse
My buddy Lee Lefever brought it to my attention that the zombies are coming.
In order to keep my brain intact within my skull, I’m adopting the non-traditional approach described in this podcast: infiltration. I’ve called in Erik Beck of Indy Mogul for help.
Also a big thanks goes out to Justin Johnson who is a fantastic linguisticist.
