Hanging up my RCAC badge

Now I’m the Former RCAC Chair


As I said I would do last month, tonight I officially hung up my RCAC Chairperson badge. Hard to believe a year has gone by. I will miss the camaraderie of my fellow citizen leaders and all that we accomplished. It’s been a true honor to be a part of Raleigh’s Citizens Advisory Councils for the past four years. While this evening I’ve stepped down, I’ll never be too far away.

BBC News – Swimming robot reaches Australia

This is pretty amazing.

A self-controlled swimming robot has completed a journey from San Francisco to Australia.

The record-breaking 9,000 nautical mile (16,668km) trip took the PacX Wave Glider just over a year to achieve.

Liquid Robotics, the US company behind the project, collected data about the Pacific Ocean’s temperature, salinity and ecosystem from the drone.
