Like other hackerspaces I’m finding, we have less than optimal heating and cooling. This summer, a popular complaint was that our space was too hot. We had thermometers, but you can’t read them from your appartment before you head down to the shop. Last winter, we had the same problem with the shop being too cold for happy hacking.
NOT ANY MORE! Harnessing a spare arduino and a few DS18B20+ I’ve finally built a network attached thermometer.
Here is the first episode of our new Hackerspace Digest podcast. Take a look at the wiki page for more info about what was talked about.

Our public hours are any weekday after 6pm, and any Saturday after 1pm. Come by and bring something to work on!
Thank you to everyone who cooked!

With the help of the following people Bob and I were able to pick up the new Soda Machine. We hope this will make the shop a few bucks as well as be a great project for us. We have some really unique ideas for the machine and because we got the nicest one we could, these ideas will not take too much work to implement. Our fist step is to get the machine loaded with some drinks and figure out how everything works. From there we can start hacking on it.
