Outsider Research Labs Logo. It shows a crow holding a marble in its beak perched on the lip of a beaker containing water. The crow appears to be dropping marbles into the beaker to raise the level of the water inside it.

Outsider Research Labs builds and upgrades chemical instrumentation: custom PID control and monitoring systems for aquaponics, and digital retrofits for analogue sensors used in liquid feed distribution lines.

A functional MRI scan of the Outsider's brain. It looks exactly like... what it says on the tin. Inside the Outsider. Yes. Yes. I know. If you can think of a better name or (even better) a worse name for my personal blog, do let me know. Meanwhile, if you have some time to spare, take a look inside.
