Baron Josef Donnerbauch (Simon Rohrich) is a Renaissance man. In addition to his passion for the SCA, his Excellency has invented S.P.E.A.R., the Self-Propelled Electronic Armored Rack, "a compact data center on wheels." Jamie Peachey of the Phoenix New Times has the story.

Rohrich's S.P.E.A.R. unit, which has power outlets and hook-ups for cell phones, holds up to 1,000 pounds of computer equipment, and can keep it safe from fire, flood and other damage. "You could drop it off a two-story building."

While not inventing computer equipment, Baron Josef swings a sword as a member of the local Phoenix SCA group.

ohhhhh, I thought it said

Self-Propelled Electronic ARMOR Rack. You know, an armor stand that could follow you around at a tourney.... :)

I'd buy one of those

Wonder how many batteries it would eat while climbing Runestone Hill with a load of armour.
