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.
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!
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!
UPDATE: Voting closed on this contest at midnight, PST. Thank you all for your votes, thoughts, and support! The contest is now in the hands of the judges. Per Instructables, results will be published in about a week.
The team at i3 Detroit has entered a contest with Instructables.com to win an Epilog Laser Cutter and Etcher (model: Zing 16). WE NEED YOUR HELP. The build team lead by Dustin White & Bob Bedard made a fantastic entry to the contest by building a step-by-step guide to converting a military ammo box into a set of portable music speakers. It’s a rugged and spiffy design that is sure to win, if we have your votes. In order to win the prize, we need you to vote on our project.
To do this: register for an Instructables account (free) at http://ow.ly/3xzb6 then go to our project page and click vote – http://ow.ly/3xzbM. That’s it. For 20 seconds of your time you will help i3 Detroit win a $8,000 piece of equipment for the community to use at the shop. Please help. Full specs on the laser cutter below.
