Kinsa Smart Thermometer launched!

After over a year of design and development and too many prototypes to count, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer has officially lunched on indiegogo as a socially-funded venture.

Copycat Smackdown!

The two people who created unauthorized 3D models of our Philco PC design, and then offered them for sale online, have had their infringing models removed for sale to the public. What was originally a rude surprise turned out to be a great experience — thanks to the advice and guidance of the awesome staff of TurboSquid. It’s [...]

Imitation done poorly …

… and illegally, according to copyright law. We have recently been made aware that two separate individuals have made extremely lousy 3D models of our Philco PC design, the well-known and much-loved retro-inspired computer. I’m all for for people being inspired by the work of others, which was the obvious genesis for the project, but this [...]

To thank those who have watched our most recent conceptual design project, we’ve decided to mail out free slices of delicious cake. Unfortunately, as all viewers are completely anonymous, we now have a warehouse full of cake slices that will [...]

Is Apple Making Robots?

Recently, several robot blogs posted this fuzzy spy video of what some were speculating was a robot made by Apple. This leaked video only shows a portion of the robot and is of such low quality that it’s really hard to tell what is going on. I’d love to jump in and speculate as well, [...]
