Worth watching: Labs & SunSPOT intro
Roger Meike is a Director in SunLabs and head of the group that built the SunSPOT (Small Programmable Object Technology) sensors. His blog highlights a lot of the interesting and unique uses that people have come up with for SunSPOTs and is an interesting read in itself.
His most recent post includes a video of a presentation he did for middle and high school students. It covers a bit on research versus development, the role of a Labs organization, and a few of the things that Sun does. He then goes into detail on what the SPOTs are, how they work, and what you can do with them. If you can find the time, it's a really straightforward explanation on a number of technical topics.
