If I could tag stuff, id put this under *humanitarian.
Absolutley brilliant work by Kamen and his team, ive seen quite a few of the demo's of this, and its just stellar what they are doing.

Invocations (humanitarian) cannot be called by charliem because charliem is not privileged - sorry.

definitely *humanitarian - good call charliem

I think i saw a TED referencing this work being done, but seeing how far they have come is very cool.

"I could do stuff I haven't done in 26 years."
"Like what?"
"Rub one out."

Seriously, though, that's awesome. Almost makes me want to chop my arm off so I can get one of those. I would never have to worry about burning myself on the damn extruders or resins at work again.

LAWL for his last line though!

Seriously, how is this not #1

Dean Kamen is my hero. He doesn't stop doing awesome stuff and he takes the really hard cases. We should make sure people who do this are rewarded financially like he was originally.

I remember seeing him, Kamen, on the Colbert Report with an amazing wheelchair they had created. It's awesome to see this sort of stuff in action and a humbling reminder to be thankful for what we have, and hope to keep.
