soldiers

Syria needs to catch up; “Yeah!” was a single in 2004:

UsherI don’t know that much about the conflict over there to make any clever jokes, but it looks like those guys are having a good time.

I love how the gunshot at 1:26 set off the chants and following rain of gunfire both locally and off in the distance.  I wonder what those guys that responded to the gunfire were dancing to?  Some early Gaga perhaps?

Chrysler came correct this Super Bowl:

US-Soldier-Coming-HomeWhat a great commercial.  I like how the marketing aspect didn’t overshadow the message.

Almost makes me want to buy a Wrangler Rubicon. Maybe if the price came down $15,000 I’d consider it…

The US military is developing its own 3D printers for the frontline which will enable soldiers to quickly and cheaply produce spare parts for their weapons and equipment without having to wait weeks for new deliveries.

Full Story over at Dezeen

I’ve been utilizing 3D printing for my own prototypes for the last 3 years now, and it’s incredible how far it has came.  The materials are getting stronger, the process is getting quicker, and the cost is coming down.  Even home units now such as the MakerBot Replicator 2 can be picked up for $2200 and are able to do a 100 micron resolution (thin as a sheet of paper).  This is only going to get better and less expensive.
