Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT)
We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 7:00 am Eastern (and sometimes earlier!). Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads.

M.I.T. has developed an interesting new technology which is better seen visually then described.
I spotted this one while I was looking for a way to construct a mechanical iris, and it was so interesting I thought I'd share it.
Over the last few decades, its become far easier to communicate with people further and further away. Rather then just being limited to phone conversations, we get the added connectivity of video. This invention takes things a step further, and allows you to accomplish all sorts of things that you once only could have done in person. I predict a lot of uses for this technology.
