I was a professional video-game developer in Vancouver. Now I'm working at a Mac sysadmin in rural Southern Alberta.
I'm a competent C++ programmer, I love python, I've learned a little bit about Objective-C, and, of late, I'm programming in Smalltalk (Squeak), hacking on Scratch to help kids learn robotics.

Why does LEGO now use studless technic designs? I've been meaning to get ahold of that book. |

Why does LEGO now use studless technic designs? Interesting. I'd often thought that the holes in the beams should be better centered. Is there any reason that the studless beams can't be made with an even number of holes? I must say that, while vertically reinforcing a part with the older system took some thought, building up or rotating 90 degrees was straightforward, without using any special joiners. |

What are the angles used in angle connectors and liftarms? Ah. It must've been the #5 ones I was working with. Thanks again : ) |

What are the angles used in angle connectors and liftarms? Aha! I knew there was a reason for the angle on the lift arm. Thank you. I did try connecting a number of angle bricks (of the same type) together with axles to see if I could make a complete circle, and it didn't work. I'll have to try again; maybe my axles are bent. |

What is different between the EV3 Home and Educational sets? I think the caster is the right-most piece in the diagram of the educational set. Building casters for the NXT was a real pain, so I'm hoping that both sets include it! |

What is different between the EV3 Home and Educational sets? I believe that the education kit will come with a rechargeable battery. |

What is different between the EV3 Home and Educational sets? Do we know if the retail set comes with a castor wheel? |
