Tobben Log
(Redirected from Torbjorn Ludvigsen)
I want to give people production power. I have a Master's in engineering physics and love self-replication. It is my tool to create and distribute production power. I love it in ideas, in free software, in RepRaps, in workshops and in complete enterprises.
