We represented well at IT Martini, also. Chris Davis won a Flip Video
which Jason Bailey automatically requisitioned for a "Balloon Boy
minus the Boy" project. Footage from 100,000 feet above sea level
coming to you by June 30th thanks to Bootsy Collins, IT Martini, and
Hive13 :smiley:

Yeah Chris - what model of camera is that?

That was a good day. We should have a few more new people at the next meeting or two. I pimped the soldering class all I could, I’m mildly bummed Baverman didn’t put it in the article. I’m sending her details about it though, she’ll put it in the calendar etc.

The camera is a Flip Video Ultra HD. The image is a little fuzzy and could use some stabilization, but I can’t complain for the price - it appears to retail for $150 or so.

So, time to get moving on this balloon thing!

Echoing what others have said, congrats on everything yesterday!!

From an exposure POV, The Bold Fusion event came at a perfect time, IMO, with respect to how long Hive13 has been around and the body of projects you guys are doing/have done. I'm betting a few ppl went: "What's this hackerspace concept the keynote is talking about? What? There's already a hackerspace in Cincinnati?!"

I really with I could have made this year's Bold Fusion my first time attending. Past year's topics included social media, and traditional branding/marketing - I was excited to see this year's focus more on the technical, and on maker culture in particular.

Nice work.
