Alt.CES: More Bots at the Show
Marc de Vinck sent us a few more shots of the Romo phonebot. Like a lot of people at the show, Marc is aghast at the bloat of electro-plastic tchotchke (even by CES standards!) in the main hall (“endless Swarovski crystal iPhone cases”). But he says that Eureka Hall Tech Zone is where the best […]
Alt.CES: Even Smarter Touch Glove
Maker Shed’s Marc de Vinck sent us this pic from the Isotoner booth where they’re hawking their SmarTouch 2.0 glove “Now with 3rd finger function.” Woot. Why not make your own, use any gloves you like, and enable all the finger functions you like. Here, let Becky show you how…
Alt.CES: Dale Dougherty Gives Edu Conference Keynote
Dale just finished his keynote at the Education Conference at CES. He rocked the room, inspired the attendees, talked about kits, education, and the maker movement.

Alt.CES: MAKE Team at MakerBot
Maker Shed Product Development Mucky-Muck, Marc de Vinck, sent us these phone snaps today of the MAKE team at the MakerBot Industries booth at CES. Tonight, our team found itself at the MakerBot Industries party, too. It was all pizza, PBR, cups o’ quarters, and vintage pinball. Let’s just hope that Bre didn’t get them all drunk and had them make 3D prints they’re going to regret in the morning (the 21st century version of the Xerox machine at the Christmas party).
Alt.CES: Parrot AR.Drone 2.0
One of the more exciting things to come out of CES so far is the upgraded version of the Parrot AR.Drone. This quadcopter made a splash at last year’s show, with its on-board camera, WiFi connectivity, smartphone control, open source software, and under $300 price point.
