The Robot Petting Zoo has been developed to provide humans with immersive, simulated, animal interactions. The Robot Petting Zoo uses modified and off-the-shelf, life-like, robot animals for therapeutic fun for all ages. The robot animals and the simulated natural soundscapes of the Relaxotron: Acoustic Feedback Audio isolation Kit (AFAIK), allow humans and machines to explore the “Uncanny Valley” of just how real fake can be and to increase comfort levels with non-traditional life forms.

Broadband-Hamnet™ (formerly called HSMM-Mesh™) is a high speed, self discovering, self configuring, fault tolerant, wireless computer network that can run for days from a fully charged car battery, or indefinitely with the addition of a modest solar array or other supplemental power source. The focus is on emergency communications.
In its current form it is built using the Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS wireless routers and operates on channels 1-6 of the 2.4GHz ISM band, which overlaps with the upper portion of the 13cm amateur radio band. Other platforms and bands are in development at this time. Next will be Ubiquiti equipment with others supported as development resources permit.

We are adult fans of LEGO® (AFOLs) that have come together because of our interests and obsessions with “the brick”. We share our ideas and experiences, we get togther to build and play. Texas Brick Railroad is one of many LUGs (LEGO® User Groups) that exist around the world. Our goals are:
– To share our ideas and skills with each other and with LEGO train fans around the world.
– To bring high-quality, interactive layouts to both train shows and LEGO events.
– To improve the quality, quantity, and visibility of LEGO model railroading throughout the great nation of Texas!
