Open Source Hardware Projects – Home Fabrication (Part 1)
If personal computing revolutionised the 80’s and the Internet revolutionised the 90’s then I would dare say this decade will (almost) be revolutionised by home fabrication & rapid prototyping.

Seems I am a bit slow to the party on Yubnub – I guess I kind of see it like a cross between the unix command line and the vi of search engines – it has modes, commands and even split screens: For example: ls australia gives you all the yubnub commands that include Australia. …

Vim != usability plus a bit of Unix humour
