The ElectRelease homepage
This is cool stuff. Electrically releaseable epoxy!!! I just can imagine that min orders are probably huge as is the price. Still, it would be great for temporary fixtures, and setups. At a shear strength of 2000psi, its not quite as good as JB Weld, but not bad either.

Jack comes up with some cool ideas for archiving design tools. Package up the whole system, computer , debug tools, software, and all, and lock it away. Thats not a bad idea at all.

Ali’s weblog – Belgian anti-dogpoo sign
Hmmm, another good one. A dog that can understand a sign, and not make a mess there…. almost as good as the following I saw in a friends office.
Warning: It is illegal to take food from the bears. Anyone doing so is subject to a fine.

tompeters! leadership training development project management
A most interesting concept. The many flaws of teams and group based decisions are drawn out multifold. One wonders if the whole team thing is cyclical, and in another 5-10 years teams will go by the wayside due to many years of over emphasis.
No doubt, the power of a team [...]
