Lasersaur Lasersaur The Lasersaur is an open source laser cutter. We designed it to fill the need of makers, artist and scientist who wanted a safe and highly-capable machine. Unlike others it comes fully loaded with knowledge to run, maintain, and modify. Since its conception, Nortd Labs and the Lasersaur community has generated knowledge to develop a comprehensive system. How can you Contribute? Unlike software, hardware RD is costly even when living off of Ramen. Short on cash? $32 Beta Access: Support the project and get full access to design documents, community (mailing list), and software before the project goes fully open source. $(any) Project Support: Simply want to support the project? We Accept Bitcoin! Credits Mad props to reprap.org, www.cnczone.com, arduino.cc, grbl, buildlog.org, and their giants' shoulders.
Understanding Wisdom and the Wheel - Wheel Wisdom is the ability to live in a chaotic world. It requires the "knowledge behind the knowledge," which means an understanding of the hardware of the mind, its structure, as opposed to the software - the particular languages, sciences, and religions which the mind creates. This is knowledge of Chaos, of the real world in which we all live, and how to find the hidden universal order, the fractal pattterns, which lie behind it. The order follows number and can be found by many methods that take you beyond yourself, including music. By understanding the knowledge behind the knowledge you can make sense beyond meaning. Making sense of everything for yourself allows you to make the appropriate choices in the chaotic world of chances, to self-evolve towards the infinite. Although knowledge is without bound, Wisdom has a limited number of criteria. The Wheel is the primal archetype which makes possible an understanding of the Wisdom of all cultures of the World.
Jak reagować na narzekanie? - Harvard Business Review Polska "Moja cierpliwość powoli się wyczerpuje", wyznał mi kiedyś Dan, kierownik sprzedaży w firmie świadczącej usługi finansowe. "Dokoła aż roi się od możliwości - biznes się rozwija, praca jest ciekawa a i premie w tym roku powinny być całkiem niezłe - a mimo to spotykam się tylko z narzekaniem". Kiedy na korytarzu mija pracowników i pyta ich, jak leci, zawsze słyszy marudzenie, jak nie na klienta to na nawał pracy. "Jak mogę zmienić te negatywne postawy, które zadomowiły się w moim zespole?" Oto przyczyna - reagowanie na narzekania postawą pozytywną nie może się udać, gdyż nosi cechy sporu. To drugie instynktowne podejście, czyli skonfrontowanie czyjejś negatywnej postawy z własną równie negatywną, nie działa, gdyż wartości te się dodają. Odpowiedź na to pytanie odkryłem, kiedy rozmawiając z moją żoną Eleanor, sam popełniłem ten sam błąd co Dan. I tak rzeczywiście było. Moja propozycja sprowadza się do trzypunktowego procesu, który pomaga zmienić negatywne postawy w pozytywne: 1. 2. 3.
Wiki RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.
Marloes - COUTURE SHOES Blog biznesowy - Andrzej Jacaszek - wydawca Harvard Business Review Polska oraz dyrektor zarządzający ICAN Institute Czy piękny, soczysty pomidor może być dowodem na to, że menedżerowie są kompletnie niepotrzebni? Zdecydowanie tak, jeśli tylko dojrzewał i został zerwany na polach kalifornijskiej firmy Morning Star, mającej niemal jedną trzecią udziałów w amerykańskim rynku przetworów bazujących na tym smakowitym warzywie. Choć trudno wyobrazić sobie przedsiębiorstwo, w którym nikt nie ma szefa, każdy pracownik może wydać firmowe pieniądze, a o wysokości wynagrodzenia decydują współpracownicy, to jednak Gary Hamel - wykładowca London Business School - dowodzi, że taka firma nie tylko istnieje, ale na dodatek świetnie sobie radzi. Na początek zwolnij wszystkich menedżerów!, apeluje on w zamieszczonym w Harvard Business Review Polska artykule, prezentując korporację, w której 400 pełnoetatowych pracowników generuje przychody w wysokości ponad 700 milionów dolarów rocznie. Zarządzanie inne niż dotąd Na czy polega unikatowy model zarządzania Morning Star? Daj każdemu rzeczywistą władzę Wolność = sukces?
A little nouveau » Art I came accross these watch sculptures by Dominic Wilcox today, and I think they’re pretty much the most brilliant things ever made: “Adventures of a young vegetarian OR Pigs shall fly. “A small girl attempts to stop a butcher chopping up a pig by hanging on his arm while the pig floats away”. “The numbers and hands of a watch are swept away by a watch sweeper.” “A man so engrossed in his iPhone that he fails to notice a monkey balanced on the head of a weightlifting boy standing on the arm of an elderly rollerskater.”
Three Creativity Challenges from IDEO's Leaders - Tom Kelley and David Kelley by Tom Kelley and David Kelley | 8:00 AM November 8, 2013 People often ask us how they can become more creative. Through our work at the global design and innovation firm IDEO and David’s work at Stanford University’s d.school, we’ve helped thousands of executives and students develop breakthrough ideas and products, from Apple’s first computer mouse to next-generation surgical tools for Medtronic to fresh brand strategies for the North Face in China. Of course, exercising your mind can sometimes feel more daunting than exercising your muscles. Mindmaps are a powerful way to overcome fear of the blank page, look for patterns, explore a subject, come up with truly innovative ideas, record their evolution so you can trace back in search of new insights, and communicate your thought processes to others. TOOL: Mindmap PARTICIPANTS: Usually a solo activity TIME: 15–60 minutes SUPPLIES: Paper (the bigger the better) and pen We learned this 30 Circles exercise from David’s mentor, Bob McKim.

Solar-Powered Night Garden in Jerusalem My favorite part of Disneyland was always the Main Street Electrical Parade. It seems gluttonous now: a procession of mechanized floats, covered in rainbow light bulbs, all buzzing and twinkling to the tune of music. Fortunately, O*GE Architects and Interactive Gallery have sated my light-show fix with a solar-powered, LED-licious Night Garden. The installation was part of the recent Light in Jerusalem Festival and dazzled visitors to the Gan Habonim (Jerusalem Citadel) with giant neon-colored, luminescent flowers whose petals opened and closed throughout the night. The Night Garden, created with the Israel Electric Corporation, consisted of lotus blossoms, tulips and “dewdrop flowers” made of steel, metal mesh and Hebron glass. Says O*GE, ” Our aim for this installation was to demonstrate that by using alternative energy and technology, not only are we safeguarding our environment, but, we are also creating a poetic, magical experience.” + O*GE Gallery + O*GE Architects
