I shot and edited this video all on my iPhone using Reel Director, which is just like having iMovie on your phone. Amazing application for journalists.

According to a story on engadget.com the 1/2 kilo Olympic medals for Vancouver are made in part of recycled metal from circuit boards. Nobody’s going to be hacking these badges, but if they could we suggest they say, “The IOC’s views on copyright need hacking too.”

You have to love this. The LiveScribe Pen can play a piano it draws
itself on paper. A Lego Mindstorms robot can be programmed to move
through a series of mechanical steps. Combine them and you get sweet,
sweet music, maker style.

The democratic election of Evo Morales and the MAS Party in Bolivia in
2005 is a wonderful example of maker culture in politics. The poorest
people in the country are now using consensual decision making to take
their government, and their countries resources back into their own
hands. We’ll be looking at this example of maker culture in politics
in an episode of the MakerCulture Project. This video from mxq on You
Tube gives a great overview of the situation there now.

The nearly four dozen students working on the MakerCulture project at
Ryerson University (Toronto, Ontario) and the University of Western
Ontario (London, Ontario) have been hard at work this week honing the
first draft of their story proposals for the project. You can check
the progress here http://makerculture.pbworks.com/Master-Episode-List.
We welcome all feedback on the ideas and any tips, sources and leads
you can offer. By the end of the day tomorrow we should have a pretty clear idea of
the thrust of all ten podcasts for the series and for a lot of the
feature stories and videos. There’s still another round of rewrites to
come for the proposals, but the whole feature series is beginning to
gel. Very exciting time.

Wayne here: I’ve written an article about this project, and my
thoughts on the educational approach we’re using for J-Source. The
article will also appear as a column on rabble.ca tomorrow. Hope it
helps explain the
project.http://www.j-source.ca/english_new/detail.php?id=4348

On a recent trip to Shanghai, artist Dave Johnson came across an area
along Beijing street that was a hardware geek’s paradise. Here’s his
video and song, that should be our project theme :-) Thanks to
boingboing.net for link.

Leigh from HackLab TO and her young friend Amy assemble the birch
plywood case of a new MakerBot at MiniSoOnCon2009 in Hamilton,
Ontario. Amy helped sand of some rough spots and flanges on the
lasercut casing. The MakerBot can print 3D parts from extruded ABS
plastic including parts like the pulley wheels for other MakerBots.
