We had a great meeting on Sunday. We gave away 5 pair of tickets to Maker Faire and had a mellow conversational meeting. More discussion of future projects and trends in prototyping tools and education than showing projects. Mentioned links are on the Wiki.
Here are a couple of photos

These just launched in New York April 30th (Sorry could not find a decent photo)
“littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.”

The kind folks at O’Reilly have provided us with 10 pair of tickets to give away at each of the next two meetings. (That’s a total of $500 worth of tickets)

Sunday May 3rd at TechShop in Menlo Park - 5 pair of free tickets
