The usual panic means this issue is nearly content-free; for that I apologize, but did want to get the job listings out for the sake of our employment-challenged colleagues.


I tried to order a few parts from Defender Industries via their web site recently. Check out how $29.99 plus $53.94 adds up to something an order of magnitude larger than the US’s national debt: https://www.ganssle.com/misc/defender.jpg

At least they didn’t charge shipping or tax!


Here’s an interesting – and I hope not terribly abusive to the insect – embedded application. A Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroach controls a mobile robot. What will people think of next? http://www.conceptlab.com/control/


And to everyone – have a great summer!


Jobs!
