    Tech Tuesdays: vibrating steering wheels, Instagram for Android and body scanning Kinects

    ByJohn March 27, 2012November 22, 2012

    For the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing a live ‘Tech Tuesday’ segment on Vancouver’s News 1130 radio station. It’s a weekly spot where I’ll round up what’s going on in the tech world. I even did one live from Austin during SXSW. It airs Tuesdays at 11:05am PST and portions repeated throughout the…

    3D Printer Update #7

    ByJohn March 22, 2012March 22, 2012

    It’s been a few weeks since my last build update so I figured it might be good time to post some updates on all the printers I’ve got on the go at the moment. Prusa Mendel I’ve been tweaking my Prusa quite a bit lately and have been getting really good results as you can…

    SXSW 2012 Wrapup

    ByJohn March 16, 2012November 23, 2012

    This was my 8th year attending the annual South by Southwest Interactive (aka SXSW or SXSWi) festival and I have to say, it may be my last. It’s not because I didn’t enjoy myself, meet tons of great people and learn new things – all of which I did as I do every year. It…

    Prusa Mendel build update #6

    ByJohn February 27, 2012February 28, 2012

    This past weekend, Brad came over and helped me tweak things on my Prusa Mendel. He immediately noticed a few issues in the prints I had previously made. I ended up swapping out my PLA bushing X-carriage with an updated Greg’s X-carriage with LM8UUs (soooo smooth now!), with the intergrated belt tensioning system (a pain…

    Sea Launch: mobile rocket launch platform in Vancouver Dry Dock

    ByJohn February 22, 2012February 23, 2012

    A coworker noticed this ship was in dry dock beside our office in North Vancouver today: Turns out it’s the command ship for the Sea Launch mobile rocket launchpad. I’ve seen this ship on Discovery Channel but never expected to see it beside my office. Possibly the closest I’ll be to the space program anytime…

    Why I love Hipstamatic

    ByJohn February 20, 2012November 23, 2012

    Let me start by saying I don’t hate Instagram, I’m just not a fan…this post is why I love Hipstamatic (for the iPhone) and use it constantly. This post also isn’t about the sharing community that is behind Instagram (which is pretty impressive)…anything that inspires people to take more photos is awesome in my book….

    Prusa Mendel Update #5: It’s alive & printing!

    ByJohn February 16, 2012February 23, 2012

    After a night of fixing various problems, I finally have my Prusa printing objects that actually resemble objects! It’s no where near calibrated nor perfect but it’s working reliably now that I have the J-Head hotend installed along with Greg’s ‘Guidler’ extruder along with the motor strain relief bracket. I had to fix a number…

    Learning to Solder Better

    ByJohn February 9, 2012November 22, 2012

    I’ve owned a soldering iron for as long as I can remember. But I’ve never felt I’ve been very good at using it. Lately I’ve been needing to do more and more soldering (thanks to my 3d printer building among other things) so I thought I should probably get better at it. One thing I’ve…

    Reprappers of the world unite

    ByJohn February 7, 2012November 22, 2012

    This past weekend, I hosted the guys from our Fraser Valley RepRap group at my place so that we could actually setup our machines to print and tinker. This is something we’ve wanted to do at our regular meetings but the folks at Boston Pizza, while very accommodating, probably wouldn’t be too keen on us…

    Monster Jam Monster Truck show

    ByJohn February 4, 2012December 29, 2012

    Yesterday I did a guest post on Miss604.com about the big Monster Jam Monster Truck show this weekend. Thought I’d post the video and a few photos from the media event as they turned out pretty cool. I’d never been inside a monster truck before and had a chance to climb around inside one. Once…
