Flying webservers

Research is amazing !! Researching the hardware platform used in my final year project and came across this.

Picture yourself outside drinking your coffee when suddenly the air is full of small buzzing critters. Its not killer bees but the flying gridswarm.

Image a combination of Wireless sensor networks and black hawk down. A multiltude of small autonomous flying vehicles that are able to function as a mobile grid computer.



Currently the university of Essex is researching this. Using miniature helicopters from proxflier and gumsitx as the processor. Their prototype is apparently the smallest flying webserver in the world (but come to think of it I don't know of any flying webservers large or small) Take a look at the homepage

Anyway I think this deserves a mention as its super rad. It's also in a similar field as my current research so that's even better.

Possibly the coolest invention in the world

Dableing as i do in the world of computer science i have a *Small* love affair with coffee. As i cave/ climb and spend too much time in the outdoors in general it can be irritating that i have to rely on freeze dried tastless choice when im away from home.

Not for much longer mind. This super rad invention may solve all my problems May i present (Drum Roll Please) the Aerolatte Press & Go Double Wall Stainless Steel Travel Mug

Now in combination with my hand held grinder i can have a cup of freshly ground goodness wherever and whenever hot water is available. Life has got a little better
