If the I-beams move side-to-side, the bricks fall to the ground floor below. Because of this, we didn’t even attempt to walk on the 2nd floor. ... more

From medGadget: Dr. Randall Jean and his engineering colleagues at Baylor College came up with a noninvasive way to measure blood glucose through the use of non-invasive microwave technology. The sensor uses electromagnetic waves to measure blood glucose levels in the body. As the energy goes from the sensor through the skin and back to the sensor, the glucose level is measured through the transference of energy. Jean said the microwave frequency range is wide enough to isolate the ... more

Designed to roam around and plug any coverage holes, these fella’s could be just what the outdoor-loving Grinder ordered. In fact, I see them as being perfect for the crazy festival goer, to help establish a perfect Temporary Autonomous Zone in no time.
