Last night was MakeLV's first open hack night. We had folks working on wooden furniture, bike brakes, Arduino/XBee lamps, the space's open source projector and then my power supply hack.

It was neat to see the variety of different project going on already. I had heard a little bit about all the other projects except Andy's furniture work. He'd found a couple old wooden chairs that he took apart and has plans for a restoration/remake. I hope to see the results.

Last night, hackers from across the Lehigh Valley gathered at a facility the Allentown Economic Development Corporation is offering as a Hacker Space in partnership with The Davinci Center. It was really exciting to hear what potential exists, the resources people are trying to bring together and the diversity of skills that exist among the community.
