After the earthquake in Haiti, I started a website detailing the possibilities of a Fablab, seeking stakeholders for a Fablab and raising funds for a Fablab.

I’m in India for all of August to help set up some FabLabs […]

Together with Tom Lutz, Jonthan Ward and Shawn Wallace I went up to Haystack Mountain School of Crafts to set up some FabLab machines and do projects with the artists that go there.

I connected a button to a linear actuator, powered by 9v batteries.

This week I built two hello radio boards which can talk to each other. They use the IA4421 radio chip, and to fab them I used the laser cutter, the modela AND the vinyl cutter.


I decided to try to build a small rowboat with the shopbot and half inch plywood. Designing a boat proved to be pretty time consuming though, and although this week was about making something really big, I mostly learned more about designing really big things.
