I recently moved from an apartment on a noisy street to a different apartment a few blocks away on the same noisy street. I have wanted to work on a few musical projects that involve recording live instruments, vocals, etc, for some time. The loud nature of my living quarters has made this impossible. In my studio in the new apartment, however, is a rather large closet measuring 5.5' x 4' x 8.5'. It is not luxurious, but it is more than sufficient for a vocal/small recording both provided it is treated properly. To get it to a useable state, it will require some bass traps around the sides, some treatment on the door, and foam around the sides and on the ceiling.

I saw the following ROV today on kickstarter.

Perhaps a potential project for the space?

Home Made Games Night

Let us gather for beers and snacks and play games we have made ourselves.

I love boardgames but was disappointed that classics like Monopoly and the game of life did not have the aspects of gameplay that I wanted. The Game Of Life in particular seemed too limited in your choices and it did not show much interaction between players and society.

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.

Road trip anyone?

Tool envy -- Shapeoko

Submitted by Kip Steele on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 23:06

I love robots. I love computers. And Im starting to love tools the more I get to try to improve on my n00b skillz. So when I get a chance to see tools and computers together that I can have access to in my own house, garage, or makerspace that I am happily a member of, I think this may deserve a look as something to add to the space.
