I need your vote,..... for a good cause!

Hello! Today I'm asking you for a personal favor. I completed my first Ironman (140.6) event in Madison 4 weeks ago. I participated in a promotional video campaign by Refuel (with chocolate milk).

Folks: I NEED YOUR VOTES! I submitted a video sharing what my After workout ritual is and how I refuel with lowfat chocolate milk and now have the chance to get sponsored on Team REFUEL! Check out my video to VOTE FOR ME! If it earns the mo

st votes at the end of the month, I’ll be the next sponsored athlete of Team REFUEL and have a chance to star in my own “got chocolate milk?” ad! And it’s all for a good cause. For every vote cast, REFUEL will donate $1 to the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

You can vote once every day through 10/30. IP addresses are logged, but you can vote once from home and once from work ;-) - and if you have a smart phone, you even vote from it. Just be sure to go to the "Desktop" version on your mobile, otherwise, you won't see the vote option!

Voting is easy, just click on the link above, type in the two "captcha" words and click "Vote now." If you don't see the two words, but receive a message instead that the "Vote limit for this IP has been reached, simply wait 24 hours or try it from a home PC or other work site.

Thank you and your support is greatly appreciated!

National Robot Safety conference 2012

Look for my report from the NSRC 2012 in Indianapolis.

Very interesting and important information on the new RIA R15.06-201x robotics standard and how it might affect your job!

EDA grant extended!

We just received confirmation from the federal project manager at the EDA that our 1-year extension was approved.

This means we'll be able to continue to offer free Robotics and PLC classes through the Summer of 2013.
