Let us gather for beers and snacks and play games we have made ourselves.
I love boardgames but was disappointed that classics like Monopoly and the game of life did not have the aspects of gameplay that I wanted. The Game Of Life in particular seemed too limited in your choices and it did not show much interaction between players and society.
The idea is to create a monthly newsletter we can send to interested individuals to give them digestable chunks of progress happening at MakeHaven. The content could include:
The idea would be to take Ben's experiment/prototype as inspiration/guidance with the original Makezine blog post and create a large piece of wall art/signage for the space.

Open House come and visit the makers.
Right now there are several spaces outside of Connecticut in the Northeast that I'd like to go and check out:
1. NYC Resistor (Brooklyn,NY)
2. AS 220 (Providence,RI)
3. Artisan's Asylum(Boston,MA)
4. MITERS (Cambridge,MA)
Road trip anyone?
I love robots. I love computers. And Im starting to love tools the more I get to try to improve on my n00b skillz. So when I get a chance to see tools and computers together that I can have access to in my own house, garage, or makerspace that I am happily a member of, I think this may deserve a look as something to add to the space.
