Ah, the forgotten Wednesdays. Why? Do you really want to remember the time you stepped in it right before heading to work? A sprinkler would have been handy right about then, except you stepped on that and broke it as well. What to do? Shake off the mid-week doldrums (and that little lawn sausage) by taking a peek inside your favorite and perhaps not-so-favorite gadgets. Grab your toolbox and get inspired!
This week’s entry:
As you bask in the summer sun with the buzz of bees and bugs about, just relax with the thought that any one of those small creatures could actually be a miniature, pop-up insect manufactured at one of the world’s leading robotics development labs. “Do they suck blood??” you ask? No, no, no. That would be ridiculous. Not yet, but we do imagine that a swarm of them on your face would make for interesting conversation. The Microrobotics Lab at Harvard has developed a manufacturing process that makes mass-producing the winged wisps extremely quick and how they come together is even more fascinating.
The fine peeps over at Fireuser.com have just turned us on to a contest they’re having that could deliver a smokin’ hot AMD FirePro V5900 GPU right into your desktop. Sure, they’re totally biased as far as these CAD-cookin’, high-end AMD GPU’s are concerned, but that’s no excuse not to try your hand at winning one them for you or your sweetheart, because we all know, nothing says, “I love you.” like 2GB of ‘blazing-fast GDDR5 memory’ and 512 streaming processors.

When a swarm of chinchilla babies is seen floating through the air, the first thought is always to run. But few know, that running full speed toward them will form a magnetic field around yourself, lifting you from the ground to reveal these links.

Day three of SolidWorks World 2012! It came and went with a quickness. Then the travel and the catching up. But not to worry, we’ve got the final overview video and some more details coming at you. As you may know, the Day 3 General Session is the day when the top ten enhancement requests are brought forth, the new features coming to 2013 are shown via a comical skit (this years did not disappoint) and the location of the next SolidWorks World is announced. All that, after the jump.
