Aloha,
I've recently setup a 'Kitchen Counter Factory' consisting of a Makerbot Replicator2 3D printer and a Shapeoko CNC Milling machine. Together these offer powerful prototyping capabilities. One machine to make things and another machine to modify them. I can offer these services at a more competitive rate than from a mainland or overseas fabricator. If you need customized parts let me know at kurt6string@gmail.com and we'll see what we can make.

On March 11, 2011 a magnitude 9.03 earthquake rocked Japan, which resulted in a devastating 133 feet tsunami and a level 7 nuclear meltdown.
Out of this chaos good samaritans built and open sourced hardware to assist in recording radiation levels. The Make blog has an update on this project.

Xamarin Studio is an IDE that allows developers to create iOS, Android and Mac apps using C#. Recently Xamarin released Xamarin Studio 2.0 and along with a free Starter edition. While the Starter edition is very limited it allows developers to see what Xamarin Studio is like and how writing Android apps using C# works. I was hoping to create an iOS app, but it turns out a Mac is still required in order to write iOS apps even…

I've recently set myself on a mission to find company internships for as many of my HPU students as I possibly can. While wrestling over what to put in courses of mobile, games, software engineering etc. I've come to the conclusion that students need internships the most out of anything we can offer. Particularly in software engineering having students work on an internship and cross-over their intern work with class projects is a win-win-win :-)

Gazing into the future is difficult. It is fraught with error and generally limited by our finite experience and limited perspectives. In spite of these obvious limitations, let’s play "what if" for a moment and pretend that we have a clue as to what might come to pass in future messaging systems.
Years ago I was at a conference in New York City. I was gone…

Facebook announced the launch of a new smart discovery engine that, for now, will focus on four areas: people, photos, places and interests.
It uses the power of your own network to give you highly personalized results for your search queries. Results will be ranked according to your friends and friends friends interactions.
Does this mean the end to Google, LinkedIn, Yelp, Foursquare and the rest?
I asked Robert Scoble if I could share…

There's a lot of excitement around Hawaii's emerging startup accelerators.
Some people have said that Hawaii has tons of talent, all it needs is some money, others say it's the blind leading the blind.
I am out of touch with the details so I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the likely outcomes. What do you think? Will these accelerators succeed or fail?

At the Applications for Good San Francisco hack-a-thon, staff and constituents from goodwill worked alongside developers to create a prototype solution for constituent engagement. This led to direct contact between user, agency and producer, a great formula for any product development.

Remote debugging is the process of viewing & editing the code behind a website on your own computer, but from a separate device. As mobile devices and mobile browsing continues to see exponential growth, it's becoming increasingly important to test and debug your web apps via remote debugging, since there's no way to inspect a webpage's resources on a physical mobile device. Here are a few techniques I use for testing & debugging web apps on mobile devices today.

Interruptions are the annoying, disruptive, beeping, booping constant of our lives -- phones ringing; notifications buzzing; bosses, coworkers, spouses and kids clamoring for our attention. How we react to them -- and the toll it takes on our productivity and concentration -- is a well-studied subject (see Wikipedia on…
ContinueI've been reading Pragmatic Thinking & Learning by Andy Hunt, which talks a lot about experts. In particular, he discusses the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, and describes experts as having "…a vast body of experience that they can tap into and apply in just the right context. … These are the modern wizards."
Maybe on a good day.
A while back, a co-worker related a story about a design class he was teaching. He showed the class some…

With the new year come new resolutions to become a better person. If you're into software development (or looking to get into it), you may be looking to learn something new. I do believe that one of the most important things we can do as software engineers is to explore other technologies and programming languages. Seeing other approaches gives you additional perspective when trying to approach a problem. In the past, this typically meant picking up a book and spending a few days going…
