Only One Week til TWEET TEA!!!

/4 Comments/in /by

Do you use Twitter?

Do you enjoy Tea?

If you answered “yes” to either or both of these questions, then you should join us for Tweet Tea! One week from today, on Tuesday, February 22nd around 6pm-ish,  tea and twitter lovers alike will assemble to share their love (or like) of soaking leaves in hot water while posting crazy random happenstances to the interwebs!

Bring your phones of smart, your tops of lap, or any other means of using Twitter as well as tea bags, loose leaf teas, tea infusers, tea blossoms, tea pots, tea cups or whatever else you would like. Even crumpets.

Come mingle with fellow tweeters and tea lovers at your favorite local hacker/makerspace.

*DISCLAIMER: No chicks were harmed in the making of this post. At least not the kinds with feathers.*

Open Soda: Saturday 2pm

Yikes, that’s today!

Pop down to the space this afternoon and learn about flavorings, colorings, carbonation, and everything else that goes into making your own soda. Taught by our very own Bill Putt, this class will introduce you to the DIY version of a product many of us buy without ever thinking about making it ourselves! Spaces are limited so pre-registration is encouraged, but all are welcome to attend.

The space is currently offline.

Don’t worry, the building is still there!  And you’re welcome to visit.  But the twitterbot and spacephone both depend on the DSL connection, which has been down for a few days now.  It’s being worked on, they promise.

In the meantime, the best way to find out if people are around is probably to join the public mailing list, and say hi.  That’s probably a good thing to do anyway!

Soup Swap Recap

/0 Comments/in /by

A good chunk of the US is snowed in this morning – but at least some
of us at i3 have a stash of homemade soup!

In the spirit of DIY food, i3 hosted its first (annual?) Soup Swap on
Saturday, January 29 with six participants and seven soups!

— Italian Sausage
— Beef Bourguignon
— White Bean, Bacon & Kale
— Sweet Potato & Carrot Ginger
— Tart Onion
— Red Lentil Soup
— Black Bean Soup

If you’re wondering how a Soup Swap works, check out www.soupswap.com!

If this sounds like a tasty idea, we’re thinking our next food swap
will be the 9×13 Pan Challenge: casseroles, lasagnas, enchiladas and
the like!  Summer may bring cupcakes.

Snow Day – No Meeting Tonight

Snowpocalypse!? Double Rainbow??

Call it what you will – “Snowpocalypse”, or perhaps “The Year’s Largest Overreaction Thus Far.” Either way, the i3Detroit Board of Directors has decided to cancel tonight’s meeting. We will meet instead in two days, on Thursday, at 7:00 PM. Let’s face it, the roads are going to be bad, even if everyone reading this post knows perfectly well how to drive in the snow. It’s the other folks we’re worried about.

i3Detroiters, we’ll see you Thursday!
