Don,

You were working so intently with Eliot when I left.

His father and he are welcome additions to 10Bit.

I will do some continued thinking on ideas for kids to come to 10Bit.

You are so good with helping them as with all you welcome.

I think young guys being around would infuse a good spirit, too.

I like that Matt next door comes often.

Do you think flyers could be put up in the surrounding neighborhood.

There were neighbors that wondered what goes on at 10Bit.

Maybe, flyers and another Open House.

Perhaps a regularly  setup Open House day/time could be started.

As you know, getting the word out is hard.

Just some thoughts.

Peggy

Anyway, Happy Easter!

4. Chris drilled down into the new router and learned how to reset the domain for Don S’s web server.

5. Greg was into his Blender project.

6. Ray printed an enclosure cover for Ken R’s Game-Boy-like project.

7. Harold brought the wheel hub from his electric cart, pressed out the faulty bearing, and ordered replacements on E-Bay.

8. Joey made videos and stills of the doings at 10Bit on a typical Saturday. See our Facebook site.  Thanks Joey.

9. Sue is turning her circle LED / Arduino project into a clock.

10. Kevin lathe-cut a proper axle for his visual persistence crank.  He’s planning to add free bearings given to him by a sponsor.  How cool is that!

11. Benjamin was new, or almost new.  He came with a laser cutter mission.  Jeremy helped him. 

12. James M. got the 3D scanner working again, flew his quadcopter.

13. Craig Meyer and

14. Scott Long came in together having seen us first during Siclovia.  

15. Elliot is the middle school son of one of the above two gents (I don’t remember which).  He learned a little SketchUp & joined 10Bit with his Dad.

16. Jaime came from Houston and spent 5 hours helping the Kens with their DIY 3D printers. 

17. Ken S and

18. Ken R started their DIY 3D Printer builds.  They are cloning Ray’s machine. Vapor polish.  Home Depot run.  

19. Braden is Ken S’s son.  He learned a little SketchUp, helped with the printer builds.

20. Andres had a broken “Delete” key. He was looking for a software workaround. He reports that the grant money came through to buy the vitamins for his robotics club 3D Printer but the procurement got stalled somehow.  School bureaucracies!

21. Matt is the boy next door.  He hung out with James M.

22. Garrett was influenced to come to 10Bit because of Siclovia and because of a mysterious smart phone game app involving landmarks in San Antonio.  He rescued the tiled blue art piece (across the street at the bus stop) from the evil green team and brought it safely over to his blue team.  This took several hours, don’t you see. Time to kill, he volunteered to do anything we needed.  He erected the black shelves.  They’ll soon hold our laser supplies.

Perhaps before flyers even - a giant banner on the side/front of the
building with a picture of people engaged in making? something with
soldering irons, maybe the foundry and aluminum pour?

As a matter of fact, we are scheduled to host the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood Association on Wed Apr 8. 3 days from now. It starts early, 5:45, because we are trying to accommodate the rush-in-rush-out schedule of two (count them, 2) mayoral candidates who will speak. Let’s be there, folks, to show our neighbors we can help, and want to help, them, cut a board for free, or press out a bearing for free, or solder a toaster for free, or teach their kid SketchUp for free, not just laser cut geegaws during city-wide events. We are a Non-Profit. Helping neighbors doesn’t cost anything, so we don’t charge anything. One other point: We have been characterized (wrongly) by a detractor as being just a bunch of white guys, period. Apparently, those traits are indictable character flaws, not just accidents of birth. If you have a different skin color, or a different gender, and you are a friend of 10Bit, then I want you, especially you, to be at this meeting, too. Nothing says welcome to a visitor like the smile on the face of someone just like hers, and the accent that goes with.

I am currently working on a whole media kit for 10bitworks. I am doing it with a team of people from both the hackerspace and my collective.

It will have branding materials, such as logos, photos and video of the space to use for various general initiatives. It will be prepped for social media and print media, so we can have templates for web banners, headers, blog entries, etc. For print we will make flyer templates, a post card style template, a business card template and more. We are currently revamping the logo as well and will have ways to water mark the logo onto our images and create custom lower thirds for videos.

I am also working on a "documentation" station for the space where people can go to document their projects.

I will be doing a formal presentation of these materials in the near future.

An example of my initial work is the FB event I have created for Don's meetup and also the photos that were posted from Saturday. But that is just the smallest taste of what will be happening. So stay tuned :D

All good media kits include Fiesta pin artwork too, right?
