48 years ago today, Man first landed on the moon. Catch Walter Kronkite (veteran CBS anchor) and Wally Schirra (one of the first Mercury 7 astronauts) follow the LEM through powered descent to make a landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoy8IWjwb1k — Then, catch the first step on the moon in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQDjy2csPP0

The last T1 has been disconnected!
Once the configuration was done, the only thing left to do was plug in the fiber! As you can see, a few Nerstrand Elementary School students happily helped out with this process. With a simple, positive “click” of the fiber-optic patch cable into the transceiver, Nerstrand completed their upgrade from the two trunked T-1 lines offering about 3Mbps of bandwidth, to the 10000Mbps of bandwidth now at their disposal. The speed is exciting, but even more exciting is the capacity this line will give the School for bringing in more devices and perhaps even having a one device per student option down the road. Thanks Amelia and Stefan!

Stealing 3D Models by Audio Recording a 3D Printer
A bright professor at the University of California-Irvine discovered it’s possible to steal the design of a 3D model by simply doing an audio recording of the 3D printer printing it. Apparently, they have demonstrated a 90% accuracy of model reconstruction using this technique. Simply having an employee working at a manufacturing facility with a cell phone on them could invite the possibility of industrial espionage if they were to give such a recording to a competitor. Fascinating proof of concept!
A Good Knight to Use the 3D Printer
A spiral-inspired knight, today’s 3D printing project with my #M3D. Turned out great!
