Instructables and Squid Labs featured in Tech Closeup's April 2007 Show
Tech Closeup interviewed me and took a tour of Instructables and Squid Labs for a segment on their April 2007 show. Check out the segment below to see our control tower and look for canida, dan, noahw, saul, TimAnderson, and Potenco's prototype generator.
Also, they mention that the lens molding technology was sold to a company in San Jose. This is an error: Another Squid Labs spin-off company is developing that technology and we will share details as soon as possible.

Wow, I wish I could go to Squid Labs. Everything that you guys do there looks so awesome! Hmmm... Alemeda CA you say? I think I live pretty close to there during the summer.

Sweet! That control tower is amazing... I'd love to build stuff in one of those. ;) Great interview and awesome projects I never knew about! (sensor rope, lens molding, etc)

Apr 9, 2007. 12:07 PMReplyAwesome Interview! Really shows what's going on over @ Squid Labs, something you don't hear about much at all. I'd like to know what those kids helping Christy in the beginning were doing p.s. Love your rat Christy!

Well, whenever I think of PHD's I think of the big heads at mother Boeing and my Grandpa, who got his first in his 40's, I think. So I had in mind you were in your mid fifties. From the video I'm guessing you're in your early 30s but possibly younger. What's the truth?

So we have 29, +/- 3.5%, which ought to be close enough for engineers.
