Minnesota Creative Labs update... and Google Wave

We had our first official meeting of MCL tonight. We managed to get through most of the forms needed to register, as well as plan out a lot of what needs to be done. We are really making progress for something that did not even exist a week ago.

I received my Google Wave account. I have 14 invites available.

Minnesota Creative Labs and news on the Balloon

I, and a few friends of mine, are working on getting a student group going whose primary goal is to get a hackerspace going. Please track our progress on our wiki.

We have the data from our balloon, and are sifting through it. We should have more documentation soon.

Yellow Cake

This is a tish long for casual viewing, but it says a lot about the recent geopolitical/economic situation, as well as explaining "Why They Hate US."

If you have 10 minutes free time please take that time to watch this video.

Today we started construction on the structure. We are using foam-core with a second layer of foam on the inside for shock absorption held together by epoxy, hot glue, and tape.
