  • E392 – Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race

    Happy Holidays, all you Sprocket Podcast devotees! Or, as these socks suggest, happy Challah Days if that is appropriate to your observance.


    Brock went to Boston as is his custom for the Christmas season, and while there he spoke with Michael & Bianca of the Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race, an amazing feat of engineering and teamwork that sees groups compete with homemade human-powered machines through obstacles such as a river and a mud pit.  Listen to our interview conducted in the back office of a seasonal skating rink!

    The Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race happens every third Saturday in September EVERY YEAR, so get your team together and your machine engineered!

    From streesblog via EJ in PDX “apparently a car salesman doesn’t like public transit”

    Surprise! Elon Musk Is Revolted By Transit
    Listen to the words Musk says, and it’s clear he has a very superficial understanding of the dynamics of transportation systems. “People like individualized transport,” alright. Until they all want to go the same way at the same time in big clunky cars and get stuck in traffic. The frustration of a traffic jam is something Musk is quite familiar with, and yet he seems oblivious to the fact that his own individualized transport solutions will end in the same congestion.

    From Fotune.com

    Elon Musk Calls Transit Expert ‘An Idiot’ and Says Public Transport ‘Sucks’
    A Boring Company spokesman sought to clarify to Wired that Musk was criticizing current public transit systems, not the concept of public transit as such. Musk’s ambition, which he’s pursuing through projects including The Boring Company, is to replace subways and buses with autonomous, individualized ‘pods’ to take riders precisely where they want to go, on demand.

    From oregonlive.com via listener Wroderick “not sure if you guys saw this. A lot of my Oregon peeps are screaming about it.”

    Southeast Portland Fred Meyer to close
    The Fred Meyer at Southeast 82nd Avenue and Foster Road will close by Jan. 20, the grocer’s corporate parent said Wednesday, citing underperformance.
    “The decision to close this location was based on long-term business performance and forecasts,” spokesman Jeffery Temple said in a written statement.
