Data security is always a concern when getting rid of an old computer. Gocke and I have come up with a new method to guarantee your privacy. I think it’s a real money making scheme. Watch and learn.

Are you ready for the likes of Eric Gocke on your TV screen?

Data from Business Week indicates it’s closer than you would have thought (hoped?).

Tango Echo’s Kate Taylor and I went for a drive yesterday to test the rig we’ll be using for an upcoming project. We ended up with a few hundred photos shot 20 seconds apart, so we made this timelapse video of our drive.

Kate selected a route that would give us a variety of images, from the inner city to snow covered fields. The first person who can guess our route will win a TE (lightning bolt logo) t-shirt. Email guesses to info@tango-echo.com. Good luck!

Possibly to settle a dispute about the ease with which one can install commando public sculpture in Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre’s Paul Carson spent a week of free time building this giant 12 sided die. Last weekend we installed it on the vacant lot in Philadelphia where our Pink Tank resides.

The TE crew has one more sculpture planned for the lot. We aim to bring some levity to the neighborhood by creating a giant nerd sculpture garden. For giant nerds.

In the last TE video, I showed some of the clips of fun we’ve had over the years with air cannons. In this video, I explain how our newest cannon works.

I’ve been playing with the format of the TE Labs videos lately and I’d like some feedback from our viewers – Do you like this video, with some informative content, or do you only want the smashing and crashing and vaporized meat? Get in touch.

There is even more detail about how to build a cannon like this on in the PopSci article How to Build My Newest Air Cannon.
