The time has come! During this weekends hackathon we will be creating our cupcake for the Global Hackerspace Cupcake Challenge.  We will also be working on getting the shop ready for a photo shoot, and many other projects.

The goal of the cupcake challenge is to bake, decorate and ship a cupcake to another hackerspace over 1000+ miles away.  The cupcake will be judged by the other hackerspace.  Point will be awarded for Creativity of Stabalization, Stability of ingredients, Appearance, Taste and Condition.  Our cupcake will be shipped all the way to the relatively new Santa Barbara Hackerspace.

If you want to help out stop by, you know we are always open 😀

Earlier today Makes Local 256 received an email from Popular Science.  They are going to be running an article on hacker spaces in their April edition and would like pictures of our space.  So I would like to make a call our to all the photographers in the Huntsville area.  Can you make out hacker space look awesome (don’t worry we will help)?  Can you make an image that is 8×10 and 300dpi?  Would you like to help us…this weekend?  If so, email us general [at] lists.makerslocal.org

Thanks

At last, the next episode of Hackerspace Digest!

Not the right image for this show, but close enough

I want to tell you all how sorry I am that this episode took nearly a month to edit and post here. I want to tell you how we used new recording techniques and recorded our longest pod cast yet, with more hosts than than any previous or forthcoming show. How challenging it was to sculpt and polish this episode to a brilliant shine worthy of the wait…

…but really, Life just kept getting in the way. (happy holidays btw)
so, Without further ado, and with hope for a more disciplined and streamlined process (and assistant Editors) here is Episode 4!
