Disability & Technology | Nicolas Huchet | TEDxCibeles
Nicolas Huchet uses a mio-electric prosthesis every day since he suffered an accident at work in April 2002. He built a low cost open source 3D prosthesis in a fab lab to make it through his disability. Nicolas Huchet uses a mio-electric prosthesis every day since he suffered an accident at work in April 2002. He now has trouble acquiring a poli-digital prosthesis. In October 2012, he discovered the FabLab in his town and asked there if it was possible to make a robot-hand. They listened to his request and took it seriously. When the makers told him about 3D printing and open source (Arduino, thingiverse, inMoov, etc.), Nicolas realized…

Improving Robot Dexterity – MIT News
MIT engineers have devised a way to give more dexterity to simple robotic grippers using the environment as a helping hand. Their model predicts the force with which a robotic gripper must push against surrounding fixtures in order to adjust its grasp.

Discourse on an Alien Sky – Twin Peaks of the World Mountain – Thunderbolts Project
The subject of this video series by Dave Talbott is the ancient experience of towering celestial forms that are no longer present. From a single snapshot of the configuration, we can work backwards to the first appearance of these bodies out of an undifferentiated cloud or sea of dusty plasma. We can then follow the configuration’s evolution through phases that range from quasi-stability to earth shaking catastrophe.

CNET Update – Reddit’s identity crisis
I am not shocked that Reddit is having all kinds of problems. First of all, it is not open, never has been and never will be. It has been a cult of personality for years. The Wave Chronicle for a while tried to use Reddit to pass along articles, videos, commentary, all of which has been popular but has been denied the opportunity to post content. Personally, I cannot understand why anyone uses Reddit at all. It is extremely difficult to use, discrimination is rampant, and the system is built not to post content. For my life, I cannot understand why advertisers spend money on Reddit. Do the advertisers know…

LiquiGlide: Nonstick Coatings Leaves Zero Waste – MIT News
The days of wasting condiments — and other products — that stick stubbornly to the sides of their bottles may be gone, thanks to MIT spinout LiquiGlide, which has licensed its nonstick coating to a major consumer-goods company. (Learn more about LiquiGlide:http://mitne.ws/1BTLIqK) Developed in 2009 by MIT’s Kripa Varanasi and David Smith, LiquiGlide is a liquid-impregnated coating that acts as a slippery barrier between a surface and a viscous liquid. Applied inside a condiment bottle, for instance, the coating clings permanently to its sides, while allowing the condiment to glide off completely, with no residue. They can also design the coatings to be made entirely of food so it’s edible and…
