Barcamp Shanghai Fall 2012. Barcamp is an “unconference” where people come to share ideas, usually with a focus on technology. Over 500 people came to the event, and Xinchejian had a room to ourselves.
Here are some of the things we were doing:

* Arcade machine (Xinchejian’s unofficial day care for kids) by Lionello Lunesu
* Analog Line Followers and Swarm Robots by Lutz Michaelis
* Social glasses by Valentin Gauffre
* Space Gambit by Alex Cureton-Griffiths
* Lophilo by Ricky Ng-Adam
* 3D printing by Stephany Xu
* Compact micro-controller board by Sunny Jr
* Translation Station by Victoria
* Turning your stuff into a kit by Spencer Featherstone
* Adopt-a-Kitten by Freda
* Fish poo farming by David Li
* Robots Wars by Rockets 夏青
Many thanks to Paul Adams who was onsite all day for his help with the schedule and setup.

It's a Bugs Eats Bugs World
September 3rd, 2012 § 3 comments § permalink
I was referred to predator mites by a few organic farmers on weibo. They look badass! They are smaller then red spider mites but literally eat them for lunch. Each adult predator mite will eats about 200 to 400 red spider mites.
I ordered a few bags of them and just finishing deploying them in the garden. There are both adults and eggs in the bag. Place the opening close to stem of infested plants and the predator mites will climb out of the bags to track down the spider mites. It’s a long night waiting but I can’t wait to see if any of them come to action by the morning.
