Since the early genesis of the brilliant Microsoft Kinect hack, inventive applications have been popping up nonstop. One of the most fascinating projects to surface recently falls within the realm of 3D printing.

Tomorrow is another day of election (PSG). I have to wake up early to set up the computers on both computer rooms. The election process is computerized, making the counting of votes the responsibility of the computer. What makes this year's election special is that for the first time in 3 years (correct me if I'm wrong), there are competing parties. The result is something to look forward to especially for me who contributed in the creation of the system.
