In case I have any readers out there, sorry for the delay. I have been busy with clients and small side projects…
So my girlfriend decided to buy me the DIY 3D printer MakerBot as a business investment for her and hack/engineering/testing my skills project for myself.
I don't come from a engineering background, but I have always been a builder at heart and knew I could learn to solder a few leads and follow directions. The whole build took about 12 hours. A good 4 hours of that was just on the printer head (or MK4 extruder as they call it) which I just learned they are releasing a new one of soon MK5…Now I only have about 2% left to go and all I have to do is get the plastic to extrude correctly and calibrate the X Y and Z planes. I have spent 5+ hours trying to troubleshoot the issues, but luckily, I found someone to help me  though the local googlegroups makerbot community
Once I get mine up and running, I'll show you my prints. In the meantime, check out a video of the inventors below:

Thank you. Finally. I hate waiting for all these features that jailbroken phone have had for years…

I bet all this will do is open the domain market up to to more squatters (which is a bad thing)

The funny part is that the anti-porn camp doesnt like it either. You would think it would make it easier to police, but their argument goes something like

“The creation of a .xxx TLD will encourage the proliferation of Internet pornography. Or, similarly, that it will create a sort of red light district online.

All I can tell you is that I definitely don't plan on squatting on dildo.xxx anytime soon : )

According to the post, they are making everything in your dropbox shareable. On the horizon is password protection.

Once we get to that stage, I think online sharing sites like drop.io and others might fall off (but maybe not for those who want a web based approach)

I really dont understand why we cant do something like my horribly drawn picture above.
Its basically an upside down funnel that leads into a pipe that siphons the oil to the surface for removal.
What about the idea above doesn't work? Is it just too hard to deploy? Why am I stupid?

According to Gizmodo, I activated my iPhone 3Gs on the last possible day I could have in order to be eligible for the new iPhone 4 upgrade policy. And I confirmed this with ATT as I was worried about other rumors that they only extended it for 6 months. Basically, if you are eligible for an upgrade any day in 2010, you are eligible for new iPhone 4 at $199 and $299.

But why do I feel like ATT is just doing this so I'm locked in when other carriers get the iPhone? Maybe its because they know I would switch in a second if it went to Sprint.
