I'm sitting here composing this on Memorial Day. I'm in the office trying to get our robots ready for a busy couple of weeks. We'll be traveling to the SOFIC (Special Operaitons Forces Conference) in Tampa next week. I just finished listening to a special on NPR about WWII and our men and women who "saved the world" by defending us during the Great War.
My heart goes out to the service people who today wear our countries uniform in foreign lands and hope that know how much they mean to us back here. With the news today out of North Korea (atomic bomb testing) there look to be many more challenges ahead of us.
My quote for today is from a report in Defense News: "Save a soldier -- Send in a robot".

About Me
- Mr Robot0
- I grew up in Houma Louisiana, down in Cajun Country. I went to the Air Force Academy but graduated from Texas State. Over the years I've worked for NASA, helped design the Space Station, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Army's Future Combat Systems, and designed dozens of robots of all kinds, from self-driving cars to miniature ones. My family all like to travel. I've been a pilot for 30 years, and I hold Commercial, MultiEngine Instrument and Glider Ratings. I've been writing for magazines and publishing pictures and artwork since 1984, first as an aviation writer and now for GizMag and Robot Magazine.
