Makibox = 3D printer for 200 USD! The catch is that you have to assemble it yourself. The more well known MakerBot is a 3D printer for 2500 USD although that printer does come assembled.
I am thinking of getting one. The 200 is definitely a chewable R&D cost. Its founder Jonathan Buford is based in Hong Kong so I figured that if I failed miserably in my assembly there is at least someone close by to give me some help.
Will let you know how it goes once my order is in. I figured that if I successfully got this to work I can probably graduate from geekdom into nerddom so it would be a very worthy thing to do.

Just finished a week long interaction design consulting with a New York client. Super psyched with the result. Happy clients + awesome projects = best happiness biohack for life.
Meanwhile, it looks like that this new toy will soon arrive at SML Universe HKG. I am currently reconfiguring living space to house this giant toy so I can print my panoramic photography in sizes where I can see the actual subjects.
Super awesome. Crazyisgood.

This could be the RAID Thunderbolt solution I have been looking for. Introduced during the CES 2013 earlier this year, the LaCie 5big comes with five hot swappable 7200rpm/64MB cache hard disks which are preconfigured as a RAID 0 array, but can optionally be configured as RAID 1 or JBOD configuration (aka RAID 5).
It has dual 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt ports for easy daisy chaining with up to 6 additional drives. The aluminium enclosure features a Noctua® magnetic levitation cooling fan, promising high-performance yet quiet operations with zero-vibration. Acoustics is rated at 25-28dBA.
Average transfer rate at 785MB/s read and 695MB/s write means that it can handle multiple 2K uncompressed 10-bit streams, a dream come true for the media production workflow.
Two models are available. The MSRP for the 10TB is US$1,199 and the 20TB goes for US$2,199. Reasonably affordable especially she compared to the Pegasus.
I am waiting for reviews to come in right now before making the purchase to make sure the build is good, but it is definitely now on my to-buy list if they perform as well as the specs say.

A new toy was sent to SML recently for remote spying with the Hero. This bird, aptly named the “Dronefly,” would carry a GoPro camera and let you fly it out to remote lands for a cool US$679. Very tempting. The only thing that is stopping SML on his tracks right now is whether or not it is built in plastic or metal. It is very hard to tell from the videos / photos from the site. If it is in metal, then it sounds like a good buy. If it is in plastic though then it seems somewhat overpriced for a quadcopter—quads are generally not the best way for flying. Three is better, I think, for this I also agree with Simon Forman, another nerd SML knows who lives in San Francisco.
# Promises + SML Translate
+ Attractive and highly integrated design.
SML: It is in white, because Apple Research suggests that humans like them white.
+ High intensity orientation-aiding LED indicators.
SML: Flashy things on the body.
+ Ready-to-fly right out of the box – no programming needed.
SML: It is human-controlled by you, the human.
+ Stable and easy to fly with agile performance.
SML: Your flight results may vary.
+ Multiple flight modes, including GPS position hold.
SML: Flight modes? GPS is nice.
+ Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC).
SML: Techno mumbo jumbo for possibly gyroscopic awareness.
+ Failsafe and auto go-home/landing.
SML: Useful when flight fail—thus probably not really that “easy to fly” afterall…?
+ Camera mount included for GoPro.
SML: The best feature. Should be the #1 real feature.

$AMZN Glacier: $0.012 per GB / month with 10TB data = 120 USD / month.
Crashplan promises unlimited data for $9 / month = is it even possible? Too good to be true?
But 1. Amazon offers harddisk ship in data. 2. Crashplan likely have no such service.
Decisions. Decisions. Most likely would go with AWS unless Crashplan promises to actually still exist in 20 years. Unclear.
Backup storage pricing: Amazon Glacier vs Crashplan / SML Shopping / SML.20130506.SC
