Now the fun stuff: Shoot mosquitoes out of the sky with lasers. ("A pinkie-suck idea.") It can be built with consumer electronics -- a Blu-ray player has a blue laser, a laser printer has fast-moving mirror. You can use them around clinics. The shoot 100% organic photons. You can measure wingbeat frequency and size the of flying insect and decide whether it is worth killing. Moore's law makes technology so cheap we can decide whether or not to kill a bug.
They have one here, built from parts purchased on eBay. They are using a green laser pointer instead of a killing laser, for safety reasons. We see a box of skeeters being tracked and zapped. We hear the mosquito wingbeat.There are also ultra-slow-motion videos of mosquitoes being zapped with a live laser here. Isn't technology awesome?
Damned if I won't be their best customer!

hi there! i didn't come across dada engine until a few months ago... i find it interesting and i think i need it for my artwork (i need to create a database of texts from my diary and recall the texts randomly). just wondering if you can explain how the engine can be used (what software is required.. the procedures etc)? i am more of a graphic designer and don't know anything about scripting, though. so please don't get into too much technical detail. thanks a lot!!!
