I'll have a links to all my Maker Faire submissions up here very soon. I ran into video codec issues with the video of the Micro Helicopter Landing Pad. I should be assembling the 8bit Audio Game now that the Arduino Crockpot Sous Vide is complete. It's been a busy week.

I just want to say I've been pretty impressed with BigBlueButton meeting software. I've been running a server of it for my by monthly Hackerspace meetings at i3Detroit. I plan tweaking the setup and continuing to make it available for all meetings at the space.

At last night's i3Detroit meeting I ran a test of the QR code based gaming system that I'm calling QR Arena. There were 8 people who were handed stickers but only 3 people actually played. The main hold up was getting a free QR code reader for BlackBerry and iPhone.

Suggested QR Reader Apps for playing QR Arena:

• Android: Barcode Scanner by the ZXing Team - I've been running this on my Evo
• iPhone: Red Laser - Bob used this app and won the game.
• BlackBerry: ???
  

I also ran into some odd jQuery menu issues on Firefox but only on a pair of Ubuntu netbooks. One was 10.10 Desktop Edition on a netbook. The other was 10.10 Netbook Edition on my Dell Mini 9. I'm a doof. I left a console.debug() call in the javascript. Mobile browsers were forgiving while Firefox on my netbook which didn't have Firebug installed was not.

This site is a php web application I am writing for managing my content. I'm not a fan of off the shelf Content Management Systems due to security and bloat. I want this site to be fast, useful, and secure.

The content on this site includes projects and news that I want to share. You will find information on projects I've been building at i3Detroit and at home, like the Arduino Skeeball Machine, Telepresence Robot (ORPP), the webapp that runs this site, and classes I'm running at my hackerspace.
