Jasper Tran O'Leary's work on using computational notebooks for CNC milling really helped me expand my thinking around how symbolic representations can "escape" the computer to manifest in fabricated objects. Also a rad use of @observablehq! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35445…
Field agent Willa is designing super playful throwing and catching interactions now 🤹♀️
One of the best moments at CHI was reCHInnecting with Nadya @nadyapeek after 3 years! She was the one who introduced me the incredible world of HCI research when I was a lost undergrad. Now I am actually an HCI PhD student (still a bit lost 🫠)!
This sounds great! We haven’t used the V2 but the updates don’t seem like they would change anything except that you will need a microusb. @PrinceOfBlair also has been playing around with p5.fab and a potterbot, maybe you’d be interested in some of those experiments too

Biomakespace participated in an interview for this super-interesting and rich new research paper '“Short on time and big on ideas”: Perspectives from Lab Members on DIYBio Work in Community Biolabs' by @SeaGreenODL @nadyapeek & Kellie Dunn arxiv.org/pdf/2205.00079.pdf cc @cammakespace

I don't know about you... but I am very exhausted and simultaneously very inspired for all the interactivity demos we had at #CHI2022 today! Thanks to a lot of people for this special & heart warming event with our #CHI2022nola hands-on demos. 1/4

Jennifer Jacobs and Nadya Peek discuss teaching a largely hands-on course while remote. Topics include the importance of digital fabrication, the prospect for the future, challenges with remote lectures, & more.

found some LaTeX documentation with a LaTeX bug in the title heading. this… has to be intentional… doesn’t it?

Another DIY Stock Part Special! It turns out you can make your own thrust bearings by laser cutting the retainer from Delrin as long as you dont mind installing each BB by hand.

Having too much fun making @Machine_Agency stickers on the silhouette. Orange used to be my least favorite color but I must admit it’s growing on me thanks to @nadyapeek

Made a thing! A 10cc Syringe Tool for Jubilee Toolchangers! Now you can extrude pastes, gels, and other gooey media.
Source Files are up too. Note: 10mm Cube is extruded from Pluronic F-127 on a previous revison.
Hopefully this is the last rev...
