http://www.edecea.com/about

The roots of edecea.com started with a simple and nameless blog I posted in October 2007 that focused on what I then called the “Lazy Green List” – a set of simple things that folks can do to reduce their environmental impact, mainly through simple behavior changes. That original content has been retained here under the Lazy Green List post category. As such, I’m pretty focused on the idea of what I call ROSI. 8221; or visit my main website at aidrianoconnor.com. I hope you find edecea.com useful.

Lansub : a diy drone warfare game. Admit it… it sounds like fun. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. A few weeks ago I read Wired Magazine’s cover story on DIY drones.

More than a month has passed since my last update, but its not for lack of forward motion… I’ve just been spending the limited time I have working on the robot instead of writing about it.
