On September 1st, I sent an email to the HackLab discussion list asking for folks to commit. Less than 24 hours later, members and non-members alike stepped up and pledged $700 in addition to my initial commitment of $200. Our MakerBot Batch 7 CupCake CNC will ship in early October, hopefully in time for MiniSoOnCon!

3D printing is so amazing. This is the MITS Altair of a DIY revolution whose shape I’m not at all certain of. I couldn’t be more exited to see what the hacklabbers make and how we improve the machine, too.

In alphabetical order, the donors were:

3ric Johanson
Alex Leitch
Byron Sonne
Chad Mounteny
Cheryl Mok
Chris Pilkington
Dale Babiy
Dan Kaminsky
Eric from NYC Resistor
Kate Raynes-Goldie
Sergio Martns
Seth Hardy

Welcome to the future, folks.

So I have a public blog now, whee!  I needed to set one up for class, so I figured I’d do it right and just keep using it for other stuff.

I’ll be crossposting some hackerspace-related stuff to the HackLab.To page, and maybe setting up some aggregation for my classmates’ blogs for CSC491.  I post photos over at Flickr but you’ll see some here too sometimes.  Maybe I’ll even write a bit about my other big interests: information security, open source software, and equity / gender in IT issues.
