In two hours I will be giving a free talk that invites you to imagine that you are Tony Stark (or Your Favorite Genius). It is really about making embedded systems: eventbrite.com/e/public-inve…

Salve magistra @SaturaLanx_Lat! A question in honor of your birthday, Ms. Regini: What can beginning Latin speakers due to recover/breath live into old texts which are not available in translation, or have not been translated in more than 200 years? Possibly the answer is:

nothing. It may be that translation, which in highest quality requires a mastery of the target and source languages, cannot be undertaken by beginners without hubris. But possibly there is some intermediate project? The creation of detailed summaries?

In 15 minutes I will speaking on the "Mind Blowing Beauty of Computer Programming". I cannot hope to do it justice, but I feel it is an important topic. eventbrite.com/e/public-inve…

Possibly I am just not very bright, but it has been a great struggle to produce a theory explaining it. This is a one-way valve that has NO solid moving parts---it consists only of ferrofluid, a shaped chamber, and a magnet. The economic value is in the possibility...

...of manufacturing it at a tiny scale on a microchip for either cooling or lab-on-a-chip applications. But of course everything that @pubinvention does is free-libre open source. This is a gift given freely to the world, the best and least appreciated kind.

Last night with @joe_hershberger we had a great success with our passive ferrofluid check valve invention: first time consistently have a collapse pressure 10 times higher than the cracking pressure. Go here for more: github.com/PubInv/ferrofluid…

We have been working on this for more than 2 years, but Joe has been helping me for 6 months. Scientific/engineering research is often frustrating. Although everything is subjective, I think is a true "invention"---not only novel, but perhaps surprising that it is even possible.

Hey, friends, there are only 2 days left in our crowdfunding for a portable incubator! We have raised $1200 out of the $2000 we need, but if we don't make it, we will lose it all! If ever you wanted to donate to a progressive tech 501c3, now is the time! experiment.com/projects/tote…
Only 21 days left in our #crowdfundingcampaign shorturl.at/eySY4 for a portable incubator that fits in a tote! Help us reach our #PublicInfrastructure goal to design a PCB & field test 5 units for anyone to use. #HumanitarianEngineering #LifeScience @openteamsinc

We were successful! Thanks to all our contributors! I promise we won't let you down---the only higher priority for Public Invention is our work for NASA.
