Can't be an interocitor. Due to some poorly worded verbage covering "marine alien species" used in UNCLOS that passed in 1982, "galactic alien species" were accidentally forbidden on Earth.
On the other hand, if GE was the "party", then a Propeller based Turboencbulator would make a lot of heads roll at Maker Faire.
Note that these will probably show up in the bigger corporate stores first. It's up the the franchises if they will carry them. That is my understanding.
It sounds as if Bean (a.k.a. Lt. Frijole) has been gagged with duct tape and is languishing in a dank, penguin-infested cell somewhere in the dark underbelly of Rocklin, subsisting on a diet of -- dare I say it? -- BEANS! Oh, the frijolity! In his obviously weakened state, I just hope the laser engraver hasn't been brought to bear on his already-emaciated right arm.
Commandante Browser and I shall be reviewing our strategy, both to release from detention our comrades-in-arms (Red Herring and Frijole), and to secure the secret of the Mystery Project before it's official release. Rumor has that Red Herring has a daughter who may still have access to the Dark Vault's secrets and may be seeking to avenge her father's detention...
Now I'm confused - that's where I'm kept - but I don't see a single Bean or frijole anywhere...
Rumor has that Red Herring has a daughter who may still have access to the Dark Vault's secrets and may be seeking to avenge her father's detention...
There is much truth to that rumor...we can only hope that she'll avenge my incarceration (however, today she travels far, far away to her alter-ego - she's been elected the Marketing Director for the Robotics Club at college...
She'll be giving away hundreds of Inventor's Wands to new converts to the Dark Side.
And what of Red Herring? My confinement will be almost unbearable...
Day 1: Drive #1 Daughter to beautiful California College town.
Day 2: Sit on California Beach with large, well stocked cooler at my side.
Day 3: Sit on California Beach with large, well stocked cooler at my side.
Day 4: Sit on California ...(well, you get the idea).
Fear not for my safety! I shall remain true to our resolve - NO MORE SECRETS!
Matt: Enjoy the time off! I just finished a little pseudo-breather from reality up at Camp Far West Reservoir. Here's a pic from the camper that I took Monday morning at 6:30am. Hopefully you get to enjoy the same type of views!

If we held Bean captive and we really needed to choose a subsistence diet it would be quite easy to find something with which he strongly disagrees. Taking pizza and burgers out of the mix is an easy start, and heading towards more exotic Asian food or sushi would really starve the guy.

So.. you would be reduced to feeding him leftover Unofficial donuts.? I think there is something in the Geneva Convention about that.

LOL. Ken I'm surprised you remember that.
[Back story] The first time I visited Parallax they wanted to take me out to eat. I said that I was a picky eater and mainly stick to burgers and pizza. Well they took me to an asian (I think) restuant. There was about 10 or so people there from Parallax and I almost barfed in front of all of them. Oh, and they all had a good laugh when I put sugar on my white rice (hey we always ate it that way)...
Ironically, his pants are on, and look pretty much like a guy in wrinkled jeans. I guess they blew their costume budget when they got down to the waistline. Is he wearings KEDs shoes, by any chance?
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided to cancel the "mystery project" announcement.
Nothing to see here...these aren't the droids you're looking for...move along.

'
Finally found some sanity???

This "mystery project" has held up the Parallax WiFi project long enough.
'
The Elein Comet is going to kill us all, I'd like to have at least one WiFi project under my belt before I die from a brown dwarf entering our atmosphere thats trailing the comet as we pass through the comets tail.
'
Can we pick-up the pace on the WiFi before 9/17/11 So I can get an order in?
'
Were running out of time!!!!!!!!! 11/11/11 we're Dunn.
'
GAME OVER
'
Help me out.
'
Please !!!!
I don't know if we have a whole lot of that to go around here ;-)
I've been told that the hardware is solid, (the boards work well). Software update is beyond my expertise, but I'll rattle Kevin's cage here shortly and see if he can give us something to 'chew-on'.
You want me to spend 1-1/2 hours driving to New York just so you can tell me there is no Mystery Project??? No WiFi, Laser Range Finder is not in the new product area yet, where is the H2O ping???
I'm fed up! Im...I'm.. uh canceling my subscription to the Parallaxinan newsletter. There.. you don't get my money.Oh.. it's free?

DUH,, Don't mind me! I've been traipsing across NYC all day long.. Plane, Taxis, Buses, Subway, and Boatride have my internal clock all distorted today! So the big question is, will this mystery project still be unveiled at Maker Faire, or were we given a red herring?

Parallax has items going into Radio Shack but will not be showing up till October as it has been reported.

Regardless, it will be great once Lynxmotion finishes their propeller board.
Fortunately(?) I'm a bit outside that range. ;-)
