Second: The reason for our horrible failure to post in May is probably not as exciting as you might hope: we now have an office. Or, we will once we finish fixing it up and moving in.

Robotology: Fakin’ It
30 Apr / by: M&R / 15 comments /Another last-minute post — and this time it’s a blast from the past! The year was 1996.

We sent out over 150 valentine cards this year, and also included last year’s design at random in some envelopes. (They look a lot better […]
Alright, we’ve reached the end of our stack of cards — thanks to everyone who requested one, they are now on their way. Some of you may receive yours a little late, due to the great geographical distance between us. Those of you who get yours sooner, please keep them under your proverbial hats for […]
