Look at this. The folks from Dangerous Prototypes are totally rolling with the Hackerspace Passport train. It’s beautiful watching the stamp design progress on their forum. Their design features a check box for the continent where the visa was applied and a line for the location and notary’s signature.

I’ve put a series of brand new things up on the Sleek and Destroy Etsy page. I’ve got a series of T-Rex and human skull puzzles, some hyper gothic Petrine Cross earrings, and some chunky retro Paint Drip earrings. Everything’s black and white, laser cut, and gorgeous.

People have been asking for a more customizeable version of the Hackerspace Passports as a launching point for their own projects. I’ve made a kit packed with the illustrations I made for the passports, psd’s for all the patterns, stamp designs for the hackerspaces used in the passports, and the original InDesign file.

As the latest crest in more than a year’s work, the Anywhere Organ has premiered at Figment, NYC. I’m pretty elated. There’s still lots to do in making it the window shattering monster interactive megalith I’m building towards, but it’s exciting to have a live performance with a working sculpture under my belt.

After much doing of things I’ve come up with the next big thing for the Anywhere Organ. This particular prototype was created in SolidWorks and then made all pretty with Illustrator. Again, the whole thing’s made of 3/4″ plywood cut out on an industrial laser.

While at the Interactive Parametrics Seminar I had the opportunity to take some time lapse footage of Makerbots in action. I highly recommend giving the resulting video a watch.
