Hello 2012!

Hello fellow n3rds, Wow, our last post was made in the summer months – it has definitely been a while since we’ve kept the world updated on whats going on over here.  We had increasingly more traction all over the world selling SBU’s.  We’ve had a lot of awesome moments this last year but nothing [...]

Segway Polo and the Self Balancing Unicycle

California trip #2 was awesome. This time we primarily stayed in Folsom as we were attending the International Segway Polo Cup, AKA: “The Woz Cup“.  We did get to meet Woz (Co-founder of Apple, Inc.)

Using the Tektronix TDS2024C Scope on the SBU

Left Coast Tour Day 2 – Sacramento and Folsom, CA

When we pulled up to the Capitol building in Sacramento a large crowd had already gathered for us and we thought it was really cool that they were expecting us there.  The crowd started cheering after the crowd leader would shout something into the megaphone. They had signs and banners and people even had matching [...]

Left Coast Tour Day 1 – Eugene OR

We knew we were in Eugene when  the fixie to road bike ratio exceeded 13:1 and half of main street was quarantined off for bicycles only.  After sifting through rows of bicycles we parked right outside of American Apparel and started ridin’ nerdy.  We met up with our buddy, Alan who took off on one [...]
