Random thoughts
Nothing really to report of late. Getting my permit to go camping in The Boundary Waters at the end of May is the most exciting thing to happen so far this week.
A friend forwarded me this link which I thought was cool enough to share:
A bicycle frame made out of bamboo. Looks interesting, and it appears to be light and strong.
Another forwarded me this article about a group of high school kids, actually illegal aliens from Mexico, that beat MIT at an underwater robot contest. Pretty impressive, especially considering that the presentation (which for ESL students would seem to be daunting) was more than 50% of the score, that they had a budget more than an order of magnitude less than MIT, and they're high school students without any experience in the field of underwater robots. Too bad that winning this means nothing because they are illegal aliens.
