The goal of this project is to create relatively simple units that can come together on their own and "evolve" there mechanisms for assembly and function.
I am aiming to get this project to a working initial prototype by june 27th according to the following schedule.
-Week 1(this week) assembly mechanism
I'd like to see if there is interest in trying to design a board game. The goal would be a game along the lines of the modern "German-style" board games. My basic idea is as follows:
1) The goal of the game is to make a successful Maker/Hacker space, probably with the end of game coming at a certain number of members.

I'm making this project as a place for people to add comments and suggestions regarding building in a lab space in the basement. The room in question is the old basement kitchen and the connected room with two sinks.
Guys,
Is anyone interested in building their own StediCam? I just threw one together last weekend. Some specialty parts like gimbals and bearings would have to be preordered so I'd need a commitment. I think its doable for under 30 or 40 bucks. I would try to do this before Christmas season fires up.
Project Update - August 6, 2013 - Update 1: Filtering
One of the finished brews done prior to chlorine filter installation was ready to keg, but the off flavors were strong enough to discourage it. The jury is still out as to the cause of the off flavors, but in an attempt to save the beer, and to play around, we acquired a 0.5-7 micron beer filter.
Last meeting (9/11/12) we discussed making fluorescent, glowing beer by making yeast that produce one of the common fluorescent tags. I've poked around on the internet some and there a few considerations about the possibility of making this:
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.
