[lifeblog holiday]

This blog will only be updated about once a month.

I've decided that the time I spent blogging will now be spent mostly on new hobbies; if a jar is full you have to take out something old in order to put in something new.

I'll be back to regular updates in 2011.

Small Electrical Beginings

If you look here you can see the most modest beginnings of a machine that can print one of its own circuit boards.

It does this in a dirty fashion using plain solder, and it is kind of lumpy. However this is a huge technical milestone.

Why should you notice? This is kind of like the point in 1991 when Linus Torvalds got the GCC compiler ported to Linux which caused the thing to start to take shape.

Much as Linux has helped Google to be Google, in about 10 years this will start to transform society and start to become a kind of non self aware digital life form that alters societies thoughts about real world objects.
