My friend got the invitation to pick up her Glass.  At that time, I have not got any updates for mine yet.  All Glass Explorers can bring a guest to the Glass event, and she asked me if I wanted to tag along.  Of course that is a (more...)

If you’ve seen intermittent connectivity issues this week, apologies, should be resolved now.

I think we can all agree that robots are fascinating. So, when Misha (@mishavaughan) mentioned a robot project, I was immediately interested.

Ludovic Vignals has an Aldebaran Robotics NAO humanoid robot. I know nothing about (more...)
