We Got This, Elon

In an episode of The Simpsons last month, inventor/entrepreneur Elon Musk lands his rocket in Springfield and builds Lisa a futuristic, solar-powered birdhouse. (Some other things happen in between those two plot points, but we’re summarizing.) Not bad, Mr. Musk. Here’s our version:

Many more details to come as we design, prototype, and test solar-powered birdhouses equipped with environmental sensors and infrared video cameras live-streaming to the web. Another version of the birdhouse above is already in the works. Alas, none of our birdhouses have satellite TV or a swimming pool. We just don’t see where there’s market demand for that.
