Hey everyone, While I was in Maui I thought I would check out the only hacker/maker space, so I caught up with Jerry Isdale of Maui Makers yesterday, and helped assemble the B9creator 3d printer. Maui Makers just lost their location, so I drove out to Haiku, where all the gear is now. Haiku is close to the East side of the Island, and it's more remote, rainy and generally beautiful like the rest of the island. In Haiku, they had some really cool tools, like a laser cutter. I have a decent picture of a cool LED backlit wood box that Tony and Jerry built with a laser cutter. It was actually really not too hard to do(although, I mostly just took pictures). The directions are kind of like lego directions, you get pdfs for different components, there are some written explanations with pictures, and then a final assembly doc,...all and all, the design plans were clear and straight-forward and all lego-like. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any printing, because the printing solution didn't come with the printer. So, If you do get one of those printers you need to order the printing solution. With the printing solution, the whole set-up is about 1300 bucks. It's a bit on the pricey side for a modest 3d printer, but it looks pretty high-quality when you unpack everything. The parts were solid in my hand and it includes a projector, so it doesn't seem overpriced. Anyway, I'll send those images around when I get back... I might stay a bit longer, but I haven't told my boss that yet ;) Heh, boss... what a weird word. I don't think they have that out here... very mellow. Cheers, Rusty **

ATTENTION -- MUST READ

by johanna faust

* * *ATTENTION:* *CAMERA, KEYPAD NEEDS TO WORK. DOOR NEEDS TO BE CLOSED. AT. ALL. TIMES.* *PERIOD.*** <<<<---------------period to that end, can we get another raspberry pie downstairs ? ASAP? **AHEM** paying someone $30 an evening for being the doorperson, is the only acceptable alternative to having these two working. there has already been another incident, last Saturday. AFAIK this makes FIVE. what are we waiting for?** i will try to drum up another plan b, which would be of neccessity a plan b that i understand, and IMHO inferior to a reasonably accomplished senior Sudoer's plan b. one more thing: considering that this list is public, i wonder if it isn't a breach of security for me to go into further detail? as the configuration, know, becomes vulnerable. *you guys are awesome, and have enabled a religious experience (no shit) -- a rite of passage for me. **i suppose i myself was waiting, among other things, to better understand how things work in this collective.* i think the success curve has flattened on that one. so if i am wrong, i trust someone will correct me. -- *Be seeing you.* -- *Be seeing you.*

Long Shot... but did anyone find a bracelet a few months ago at sudo room

by Andrew

A few months ago I lost a bracelet, it had a black strap with small dark stone in the center ( a black opal http://www.opal33.com/images/blackopalpic.jpg ). If anyone knows what I'm talking about, or happened to have found said bracelet that would be awesome. Thanks, Andrew -- --------- http://www.vagabondballroom.com

Tabletop SEM Demo 6/17-6-27, Merritt College

by Jake

Hi - I just wanted to announce that Merritt Microscopy is having a hands-on demo of the Hitachi TM3000 Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope, Mondays through Thursdays starting this week, June 17th to June 20 and next week, June 24 to June 27. The event is open to the general public, with absolutely no prior microscope experience needed, and whatever samples you wish to bring. Hence, if there are any fungi or anything else you've been wanting to get EM images of, this is a great opportunity to do so. Here's the poster I put together, and some maps giving the location of campus. We are on the second floor of the D building, in Room D243. http://www.scribd.com/doc/148359131/Hitachi-SEM-Demo http://goo.gl/maps/v8v4m http://www.merritt.edu/sites/default/files/campusmap2008.pdf (Note that the second map is oriented with South on the up side, which is the reverse orientation of other maps.)
