Joe Grand of Grand Idea Studios (maker of our GPS module,·RFID reader and EMIC Text to Speech module) is in a new Discovery Channel show called Prototype This.·The premise is they are given a problem to solve, and they prototype a solution. Tonight's·show is a bio-feedback car that prevents you from driving angry (ie anti-road rage).

Discovery Channel's page for the show is here: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/prototype-this/prototype-this.html

Be sure to check it out, and keep your eyes peeled for Parallax products.

    For anyone who missed the show on television, you can watch it online here:

    It was an absolutely phenomenal show! Joe Grand is one of my favorite people after having played with a few of his products for Parallax and seeing him on several MAKE Magazine podcasts. I wish this show all the success of MythBusters!

    While they didn't specifically mention it... it looks like the BS2sx made it into the show! Take a look at page seven:

    Awesome video link! THANK YOU! Looks like a great show.
    Hopefully they will break away from the Mythbusters feel and do their own thing.

    (Not that Mythbusters is a bad show...)
