PSTOIC

STOIC TV

Ex-STOIC bodger Jez obviously keeps his ear to the ground has he discovered that STOIC was relaunching today, after almost of a year without a broadcast. The programme, which featured Carol Voderman, was webcast at the new STOIC website. In traditional bodger fashion, the ‘live’ show which was supposed to go out at 1pm, actually started at about 2.30 and I’m not sure it was live. Still the new STOIC team did a great job with a well paced and interesting show.

We look forward to seeing more shows soon!

Hydrogen generator and fuel cell car

The pSTOIC annual dinner took place last Saturday 16th January and I have to say it was one of the best yet. In a minor way, we’d said there was a theme of “bring something interesting”, but I doubt anyone was expecting a hydrogen fuel cell car! Doug surprised everyone (including the restuarant manager – see photo) by bringing two projects along.

Other items included  a super-bright LED matrix from Doug, some natural rubber from Malaysia, a hard drive (post smelt), a mystery photo (Colossus computer), and a vicious looking clamp.

Photos can be seen on Martin’s website, and there’s a short video clip of the hydrogen car on the pSTOIC YouTube page

No fleas this year, the flea director has been busy in his shed on other projects recently.

The post-meet-up mailing list has suggested “bring something baffling” for next year.

The 2009 Dinner

I am pleased to announce that the 2009 annual dinner will once again be held at the Rembrandt, Knightsbridge on Saturday 16th January 2010. There will be a pre-dinner gathering in the Hoop & Toy in South Kensington at 7:30pm, with the meal commencing at 8:30pm. If you would like to attend, please contact me  to confirm your place and the places of anyone you would like to bring along. The cost is approx £20 per head plus drinks.

I really *really* do need to know the numbers, so please drop me an email if you can make it.

Theme – to be announced.

Bodging’s suddenly become cool, through viral video campaigns. That’s what Samsung did.

Once again, PSTOIC showed we were *leaders*. We should have won all of those NASTA prizes. The judges just didn’t understand we were ahead of our time.

Awesomeness!

Thanks to OCL for spotting this.

Hugh’s wedding was on Sunday 20th September. Here’s a couple of pics the bloodhounds managed to obtain…

I think we can safely say ‘a good time was had by all’
