Unofficial Robosapien hacks and mods site
While reading today’s slashdot article on hacking the RoboSapien, I turned up a link to the Unofficial Robosapien hacks and mods site. Some good information about the IR protocols used to control the little robot. You can also look at Servo Magazine’s Hack-a-Sapien contest.

I also took the time to get POP3 running with SSL, so I can access my brainwagon mail remotely, even on my SideKick! Woohoo!
I should have a new audioblog later today. Stay tuned.
