I’ve been known to be someone that tries gadgets and always gives the new weird things a chance (cough Google Glass cough) so when I saw that Ubiquiti Labs was introducing a new wearable camera I was intrigued by the concept and idea. But first who is Ubiquiti Labs? Well I know Ubiquiti as the…
Cisco Aironet Developer Platform A few months ago I had heard about a solution Cisco was working on to provide developers access to the modular interface on the AP3800.

Back in March I put out at simple tweet to enter the #ifihadglass contest that @ProjectGlass was holding to be selected as a Glass Explorer. #ifihadglass I would help people that suffer with memory loss…
