Hi everyone!

Our blog has lots of useful information about upcoming events and things going on at the space. But we also want it to be a place for you to highlight the cool things you're doing and hacking. If you have an article you want to write, a video of a project you're working on, or find something interesting in your countless hours of browsing and want to make the rest of the hackerspace world aware of it, share it with us!

We want to show the world what a vibrant and active community we have, so we're creating a stockpile of interesting things to post on the blog. We'll post one each week, so send your stuff to boulderha...@gmail.com. Let us know if there are any time constraints, 'cause we'll hold on to anything we don't post right away and use it in the following weeks.

Thanks for helping to support your hackerspace!

Paul

PS: In the spirit of open source information, you will of course get full credit for all your work, but it may be edited for spelling and grammar. We want to look good.

Awesome work Paul:) perhaps if we run a workshop (preferably a few) per week we could highlight those in a single blogpost Tuesday. 

As for the weekend, we could do a second blogpost 'Projects in progress' and highlight group and individual projects. 

Either way, it would be great for members to get recognized for their progress and to emphasize the strong community we have as collaboration on projects is clearly shown.

Skyler,

That's pretty cool!  I saw those chips being offered from Sparkfun a while back, and thought they'd be cool to do something with. I think it'd be cool to have an LED suit wired up to flash like that at a concert.

Bit.

Wow I'm sleep deprived.  I just used "cool" three times in a short post.  Time for bed!  ;)

that would be awesome, and you could use el wire instead for an even brighter effect!

I'm hopefully going to finish my five-mode flashlight today, I should be by at the space sometime this afternoon if someone wants to talk with me about posting it.

I have some graphics stuff that I was working on during the semeseter.  Is software acceptable?

Peter - software is absolutely acceptable! If you have some cool screenshots or a write up of what your project does, we'll post it.

Ezra - sorry to not connect earlier. I would love to see your flashlight! If you can send us a write up or a quick video explaining how you made it and what it does, we'll definitely post that.

Thanks everyone, keep the good stuff coming!

Paul

Paul -- I'd like to do a blog/project post this week. The h-bot 3D printer I've been designing will hopefully be completed this weekend, and I plan to bring it to the space to show off @ Tuesday's meeting. I'll send you a write-up before then.

Paul,

Do you have a blog entry for this week? If not, I'd like to write one up for the Cyclophone. We have photos of it at various stages of development, and some new material from Apogaea this past weekend. Here's a video for anyone who hasn't seen it:

I want to thank everyone for putting in the time and effort to
document and post your projects. I've wanted more interaction from all
the members on the blog for a long time, and it's finally starting to
get the attention it needs. Thank you all for your hard work.

Nice work Chris (and team)! I just started writing up a raspberry pi project I've been working on. I just need to get back into the attic and take a few nice photos.
