Citizen Scientists and Hackers of the World,
Counter Cultures Labs' Kickstarter [1] to upgrade its current lab is
almost 80% funded, but we only have a few days left! We're getting very
close to our goal so WE NEED people to help spread the word. Counter
Culture Labs is made by and for the community. We are committed to being
YOUR biohacking & citizen science lab.
Exploring science and the mysteries of the universe is something
everyone should be able to do. We are here to support dreamers to find
new innovations. The most creative products were made, not in industry
or academia, but from people tinkering in their backyards and garages
because they love it. Let's give people access to their potential!
We need the community to help spread the word about our Kickstarter and
the awesome prizes [1] we have such as a hackerspace/biohackerspace
passport, a bacterial culture necklace, and/or a bacteria we discovered
named after you. Check em out, [1] and please forward this message!
With love,
Counter Culture Labs
PS: Our fundraiser event [2] has been postponed to Tuesday, June 9th @
8pm, address 4799 Shattuck Avenue, Oakland. See y'all there :)

Do you have a hardware project you'd like to put out into the world?
I am a mentor at HAX (formerly HAXLR8R). We choose 15 groups of people with cool hardware projects, give a small pile of money for your project, you live in Shenzhen, China for 3 months, have access to way cool tools and mentors, the groups all help each other, you learn a lot, and have a blast. And you make your project into a product that goes out into the world. At the end of the 3 days there's a big Demo Day in San Francisco where everyone shows off their projects, with plenty of media attention, and even angel investors.
The deadline for the upcoming group is extended a few days. If you're interested, please submit your proposal here:

Cheers,

peoples,
does anyone have a junker inkjet printer laying around that I could hack
on? Or does sudoroom have a junker inkjet printer laying around that I
could hack on? I'm specifically interested in the print head and nozzles,
it doesn't need to have ink or working motors or anything
and if anyone's ever played with print heads before, I would love some
pointers
Ben
Hey!

these days!)

Hi Sam,
This is Niki from La Commune. I'd like to ask that you please stop going
behind the La Commune counter.
If you want to make coffee, I can find another coffee make to put somewhere
in the kitchen upstairs but the coffee and coffee maker behind the La
Commune counter is not for the "cafe" / bookstore.
In order for La Commune to function, we need to keep this space in order
and we have requested that anyone who is not a member of La Commune please
refrain from using this space.
Thanks a lot in advance for you understanding!
Niki
someone "cleaned" the 3d printer table and now the guitar string that we
use to clear up clogs in the nozzle is missing.
don't clean up something if you don't know how to use it! i'd rather have
a functional 3d printer or soldering setup than a clean, useless table.
i fixed the motor drivers on the type A machine 3d printer, now we just
need another guitar string to clean the nozzle and we're back in business.
