Wolfram Insider
Wolfram is working with device manufacturers and the technical community to provide a definitive, curated source of systematic knowledge about connected devices. You can be a part of the Connected Devices Project too by contributing information about new devices or participating in our future hackathon events. For additional details on this expansive new project, visit the Wolfram Blog.
The sous vide method requires cooking food in airtight bags using a temperature-controlled water bath, and professional sous vide machines can cost hundreds of dollars. However, one Wolfram Community user is exploring how to use Mathematica, the Raspberry Pi, some sensors, and a crock pot for sous vide cooking at a fraction of the cost. See how he does it at Wolfram Community.
Every year at the Wolfram Technology Conference we host a programming competition. This year we challenged attendees to use Mathematica to generate designs with Egg-Bots, computer-controlled plotters that draw on spherical items like eggs, light bulbs, and Ping-Pong balls. Visit the Wolfram Blog to see all of the contest entries and find out who won.
Maurizio Brocato is facilitating collaborative work between architects and engineers with the help of Mathematica, combining image, logic, and mathematics functionality into a single solution. Watch Brocato's interview to learn how he is advancing communication between these two fields.

Thanks, Blair,

I enjoyed the interview with Maurizio Brocato, as I have read his papers regarding "Abeille vault" construction, which is, essentially, "reciprocal frame" construction, in stone.
