My filming trimaran boat "featured" on instructables.com

My favorite website in the entire world is Instructables.com, I will never have enough enthusiasm to communicate how much I love this website!
Today, I received an email telling my inflatable filming trimaran got featured in the water section!!! YAY!!! 

Check it out!
One day, I want to manufacture it to be a "real traveling machine", to cover very long distance in semi-autonomy, sea-worthy. If anyone wants to be involved with the engineering and manufacturing, leave a comment :)

Yes, feels so good to have your work on your favorite website, I feel like I am 10 years old at Christmas!!!
I did this film back in 2006 when I was studying animation in France at the ENSAD and product design at ENSCI! I have also uploaded a much better version of the film I made with this boat, it is 17 minutes long, it is a short road movie:) Play full screen and the sound LOUD! :

Nailab : Nairobi Incubation Laboratory

 

Just made a video today for my friend Tonee Ndungu and his great project the Nailab (Nairobi Incubation Laboratory) an incubator straight across the corridor of the *IHub_ for which I officially work. So the video says it all, but it will be much more a "start-up farm" more than an "innovation laboratory" to my sense. One of the greatest challenges of the Nailab is going to define its strategy to complement - and not overlap - with what the *IHub_ (that was built before specifically for innovation) in order to establish a symbiotic relation. Best luck to both sister projects !!!
