I have been twittering on last months about the research I was doing in order to improve the Letsevo Innovation Platform. The first implementation is out today, the Letsevo Forums. Built using the open source CMS software Joomla, the forums are made to support the conversation around our projects. I would be happy to see it hosting some interesting talks on the ideas we share.
There are some bugs in this new website still, but I am doing my best to learn Joomla fast so the site can be fixed and improved with time.
We have been hearing that we are all have 3D printers at home in the future and produce our on things. Today, for 750 US Dollars you can buy a Makerbot Kit and start printing your life around. It’s all open source, meaning if you feel like giving it a go and make one yourself, you can download the drawings and go for it. For the more “confy seeking people” for 2500 US Dollars today, you can buy the fully assembled version. I want one.
Once again, Casom organized a graffiti session here in Delft. Together with JAC, ENZ, Sike 2 and Stefan, we spent the whole Saturday afternoon writing. It was really nice to see Stefan writing for the first time with Spray cans, I am use to see his amazing design sketches at work and was sure he would adapt quickly. Good times!
I just received a flyer of bicycle race that will be held in Delft next 5th of July. It would be my first race on the pavement and I am pretty excited to participate. I would still be competing on a mountain bike and because of that I am looking for sponsorship for taking part on it. I need need slick tires for my mountain bike so I can have a chance against all the roadies. If you have a bike shop, or any other business…a featured article about the race and your support will be posted here at the website.
