STOIC returns

STOIC TV

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!

Annual Dinner 2010 – Bodging galore

Hydrogen generator and fuel cell car

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.

Samsung SSD bodging

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.
