Hi all!

Sorry to have been silent after the first tour of the Fab Lab. I'd be
happy to try and host some kind of weekly or bi-weekly night at the
FabLab, if you guys were still interested. I think Monday nights would
work best for noiw.

Anyhow, I saw this call for projects -- it's an event at the MIT
Museum, during the Cambridge Science Festival. I thought Dorkbot
members or the group as a whole might be interested in submitting
something.

I am very interested in this. I didn't go to the first tour because
I'm bicoastal and was at the wrong end, but I'm in for the summer.

hey Nagle

I'd love to get a practical walkthrough of that little milling machine
and/or the vinyl cutter- settings, file types, etc. I have some circuit
boards to do and it would be fun to try out the milling or vinyl mask/etch
methods.

thanks,
