[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"504","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"250","width":"380"}}]]

The Shapeoko 2 is a tabletop CNC router in the works. It will be available as a kit for $300, or as a pre-assembled product for $650. We're raising money to purchase one for Makehaven. Our preference would be to raise enough to purchase the Shapeoko, and also some bits.

Data Mapping New Haven

Hi Guys, As a favor to the New Haven Independent I've been working on a an Excel file that can express voter data as a heat map (ward by ward). I've been able to push a ward map PDF through illustrator, clean it up, bring it into Excel and explode it into shapes, but can't figure out how to transfer color fills from data cells into the shapes with VBA. I would like the data set cells to be expressed with heat map color ranges using conditional formatting, and then to read the conditional formats and push them into the shapes.

Mini-golf Hole for ArtSpace

Brad Conant and I (Karen Bliss) are planning to represent MakeHaven by designing and buiding one hole for a mini-golf course for an art installation at ArtSpace.  ArtSpace is excited for MakeHaven to be involved, and will be giving us some good press in exchange.  We'll be putting the logo on the hole and probably printing some golf balls for the event.  Local artists will make the other holes, and the course will be at ArtSpace through November.
