With MWC just wrapping up, Michael and Michael turn their attention to coffee dispensing robots, specifically those that are taking advantage of the faster 5G network to execute the heavier workloads on the cloud.  This story reminded the team of the super fast robot capabilities to catch items thrown to them, as well as solving a Rubik’s Cube at lightning speed.  

On the musical front, the pair marvel at the MidiWrist Apple Watch app makes the watch a midi controller (see the demo video below), and this reminded Michael R of his recent pick, the AudioKit Synth One.
