Latest Updates

After a breather, we’re back!

July 22nd, 2008

Wow…
It’s certainly been a while! After a little bit of a break, I’m back with two (albeit short) videos from dynamics scrutineering (check it out on our Youtube channel) and 13 or so photos from the race (on Flickr).

Neosho stage stop

July 15th, 2008

Good news: Found the firewire cable.
Bad news: Haven’t really used it yet. But tomorrow I’ll be back in Columbia with more free time, so you’ll see that edited down and posted on Youtube soon.
Today, though, was our display/stage stop in Neosho. We spent the day relaxing and socializing with the people visiting while all the [...]

Tigergen on Wired.com

July 14th, 2008

A reporter from Wired.com wrote a wonderful story about the North American Solar Challenge and a subsequent blog post on Autopia about Tigergen.
You can read the story here and the blog post here.

Neosho

July 13th, 2008

After leaving Plano this morning after the race start, we drove up to Neosho, Mo., to the first stage stop. It was a long drive, even in the vans and truck, so just imagining driving Tigergen (in her current state) makes us think we really made the right choice Friday.
The day itself was uneventful. We [...]

Photos and Video

July 13th, 2008

Sorry, again, (I seem to say that a lot now) for the lack of photo updates last night. However there are some photos from yesterday up on Flickr and some new ones from start day in Plano will be up in a little bit.
Video will hopefully be up this afternoon once we reach Neosho.
I’ll let [...]

Sad News

July 12th, 2008

I am terribly sorry for the lack of updates these last couple days; many things happened that no one of here in Texas (now Plano) were ready to admit happened, let alone share it with everyone following us from back home. (Which, when I check my email Thursday night, just the sheer amount of emails [...]

Internet Connection

July 8th, 2008

Things have certainly changed since two nights ago; I meant to– and vainly attempted to– update late last night, but attempting to hook up with a hotel wireless network didn’t seem to work out as well as was planned. We moved out of our hotel yesterday morning to save the fees and the gas money, [...]

Finally… in Texas

July 7th, 2008

Close to 13 hours after we left Columbia, we’re finally in Fort Worth, Texas, and working on some of the final parts of Tigergen I. The car itself is set outside the hotel at the base of the trailer with some flood lights. There always seem to be a million different things for us to [...]

24 hours and counting

July 4th, 2008

It’s insane to think about this, but (hopefully) by this time tomorrow evening, we’ll already be on our way to Texas.
These last couple days (and nights… and mornings…) have been long; many nights went well into the morning to get things on Tigergen I in condition to drive. Yesterday was spent in a scramble to [...]
