Jeff Kramer (@Qworg) is a builder, maker, hacker, and dreamer. Jeff is currently a research programmer and roboticist at the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) in Pittsburgh, PA (www.rec.ri.cmu.edu/). He also breaks things and rebuilds them all of the time. He's taught graduate courses in animal psychology, chaired international robotics conference sessions, made Bill Nye cry with a weapon of mass destruction, constructed high-powered arc lamps, written journal articles in robotics, devastated players with a robotic foozball table, and generally made a mess—a beautiful, strangely functional mess that is always evolving. Jeff holds a master's degree in robotics from the University of South Florida. You can check him out at
