In my journey to continue to find the good things in a world that’s breaking my heart on the daily, I found some beautifully-serene art.
Kinetic artist, Reuben Margolin uses skills in design, engineering, physics, electronics, and more. He creates motorized pieces that seem impossible. The one is called “Interlaced.”
Another wonderful, poetic product related to weather that the puppeteer in me fell in love with. Might have to support this project for myself since I already supported the Author Forecast project as a gift for my English-major mother.

Question pls: does anyone know where I can get #keycaps for my #KeyChron #K2 #mechanical #keyboard that shows both Mac and Win keys on one keyboard set?
Keyboard in pic in case that helps.
(Sorry for all the hashtags but I want to see if anyone can help!)
It looks like I may need a #keyboard replacement soon, would love some recommendations.
I’d like to go #mechanical this time, mostly for the freedom to repair and tinker.
My favorite keyboard I’ve used was a Logitech K800, the keys felt soft and quiet. But I don’t need a number pad, 65 or 75 would be great.
I’d like it to be wireless, support whatever OS, and be able to switch between different machines.
Mode keyboards look gorgeous but give me some sticker shock.

Soft, air-filled 'muscles' power a new robotic exosuit

techxplore.comSoft, air-filled 'muscles' power a new robotic exosuitThe phrase "robotic exosuit" likely calls to mind something metallic, rigid, and hinged—Iron Man's suit or the dozens of other, similar apparatuses that appear on screen, in video games, and even on the red carpet.
3D printing approach strings together dynamic objects to assemble bionic robots, sculptures and more

techxplore.com3D printing approach strings together dynamic objects to assemble bionic robots, sculptures and moreIt's difficult to build devices that replicate the fluid, precise motion of humans, but that might change if we could pull a few (literal) strings. At least, that's the idea behind "cable-driven" mechanisms in which running a string through an object generates streamlined movement across an object's different parts. Take a robotic finger, for example: You could embed a cable through the palm to the fingertip of this object and then pull it to create a curling motion.

#TimeTravelAuthors & #SciFi fans know that various styles of #gyrosocopic devices have stood in for #TimeMachines going all the way back to #HGWells's original 'The Time Machine' of 1895 (see 'Contact' movie of 1997). #Quantum #physicists have proposed colossal rotating #cylinders, and other #theories employing #wormholes — macro to micro — again, #spinning #mechanical #systems. @KronoMoon remains open to all manner of #TimeTravel approaches, including via #quantum #signals or #consciousness.
