Wecome to 1080plus beta 160310. iHealth lab - MITO - Medical imaging toolkit. Laser Glow Writer. Intro The Glow Writer is a CNC single point projector that uses a near ultra violet laser to excite photons on luminescent material. Basically, it's a laser that shoots at glow-in-the-dark vinyl (glow paint?) And makes it glow where it hits. At it's heart, the Laser Glow Writer is a 2-axis CNC machine, which means the laser can draw very detailed and intricate designs, that you can create on your computer or mobile device, from across the room. Using a combination of 3D-printable and laser-cut parts, as well as some off the shelf hardware you can make this pretty cool little machine fairly easily, and it works extremely well with a safe, low-power laser diode. All parts are sourced and are available online.

How does it work? The Laser Glow Writer works by being controlled from and Arduino Due that is running the TinyG CNC motion controller firmware. Why? What would I do with a amazing Formlabs printer? So what follows is how to build and drive the Laser Glow Writer! Old Radio Parts - Controls. Advanced Image Recognition.

FUCK YA SCIENCE! WHO WANTS TO LEARN SOME SHIT ABOUT DROPLET DANCING ?!?!? The Fun Theory. Origami Fireworks (Yami Yamauchi) - remake. A Browser To Keep The NSA From Snooping On You. Concern over personal privacy in the era of NSA spying revelations has reached something of a Code Orange. Earlier this summer, the Pew Research Center reported that for the first time since the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, more Americans fear an assault on their civil liberties than terrorism. But where we might have been stocking up on duct tape and canned soup a decade ago, today we’re changing our online habits: The percentage of Americans who are disabling cookies and adjusting browser privacy settings jumped 12% and 7% in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks.

It’s in this climate of guardedness that a group of India-based developers has designed a new kind of browser for the privacy-conscious. Using Chromium, an open source browser project that provides the underpinnings for Google’s Chrome, the Epic browser features protections meant to keep out snooping governments, as well as private companies looking to make a buck off your data.

There are some cons. Y Combinator.
