By the third day of NAMM 2010 everyone is either hung over, exhausted, or so chipper way too early in the morning that you just want to smack them. Suffice to say, I was not the chipper guy and I was seriously looking for a coffee fix when I walked through the door for the first time on Day Three.
I went through the front door by the big stage and there was a huge crowd gathered; on the stage was the USAF Mobility Band. They sounded so good that not three feet from the door I dropped my backpack, set up the steady-tracker-cam and headed for the stage.

This sensitive character portrait follows Nancy, a wonderful 97-year old lady, who lives alone.
The film explores mobility and social interaction, but from a much-neglected perspective: that of the elderly. Despite the increasing life expentancy of those in the West, and a growing aging population to outnumber the young, relatively little attention is paid in the media to 'the older generation'. This film seeks to shed some light into what may lie ahead, and inspire us with Nancy's healthy good humour.This sensitive character portrait follows Nancy, a wonderful 97-year old lady, who... more

The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (SSC) is developing really cool exoskeleton suits for its soldiers. Sarcos and Raytheon have already built suits that aren’t functional, as they either weigh too much or consume too much power.
The question of safety has also been bugging the developers, as soldiers need to handle dangerous and heavy weapons with the help of these exo-suits. If the hydraulic line snaps, it would mean disaster. If only these exo-suits could help the soldiers to handle everyday usage of weapons in conflict-hit regions, it would be a great help, as that may save a great many soldiers’ lives. Soldiers would also be able to perform logistic activities more efficiently.The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (SSC) is developing really cool exoskeleton suits... more
