1/29/14 Episode -1/12: Technology has infinite possibilities--that is, -1/12.

In the spirit of calculating infinity, we have dubbed our twelfth episode, "Episode -1/12." 

The innovations keep coming as we near the end of the first month of 2014, and each is more inspiring than the next!  Reno and Nina make plans to land on the sun--they will leave, of course, at night.  When they return, maybe they'll take producer Mike out to sushi and see if their rolls are indeed radioactive. There's an app for that!  In a world of sugar batteries, robots in the cloud, and brains that develop like the city of Manhattan, thank goodness we have e-whiskers to guide us safely through life.
