Maker Faire!

Heart Spark is going to be featured at Maker Faire! Maker Faire is this weekend, May 21 & 22. The Heart Spark will be in Lynne Bruning’s eTextile Showcase and at the eTextile Lounge. North Paw will also be at the faire, at the Noisebridge booth. You won’t be able to buy either of them at the faire, but as always you can purchase them online right here . I’m super excited for the Maker Faire, hope to see you all there! Our friend Meredith, the Lady Cartoonist, will also be there, showing off her starboards – you might remember her from the North Skirt. Finally, I’ll (Eric Boyd) be giving a talk on the future of sensors at the upcoming Quantified Self Conference, the week after Maker Faire. There are still a few tickets left.

North Paw in stock!

We sure are excited to hear from a bunch of new people after this Wired article.

But, it did hit us a bit by surprise; we had yet to update our North Paw inventory numbers as we were right in the middle of getting more kits together. But fear not! More kits are ready now, so order yours here.

More kits!

Finally, all the pieces are in place and we have new kits! So, if you’ve been waiting, wait no longer. Order now and we’ll have your kit in the mail within 2-3 days.

Noisebridge Open House

Noisebridge, the hackerspace that got us going on this cyborg stuff, had an open house on Friday night, celebrating one year hacking activity, and the new 5600 sq-ft of space. The cyborg group had a small display of our various projects, including the North Paw compass anklet, the ultrasonic echolocation project, and the pulse choker. I talked to a ton of people about these projects, and I got several very valuable ideas for how to make the projects better. I also got several people interested in coming to our Sunday cyborg meetings, and a couple of people said they would come buy North Paw kits at a future meeting. There were at least a hundred people in the space, and it still didn’t feel like we were sardines, the new space is awesome!

Typhoon Parma

I’ve never gotten a call about a typhoon before. But then just this afternoon a real human from the shipping company TNT called me to say that our shipment of pager motors would be delayed due to the storm. How’s that for good service?

Anyway, if you’ve ordered a kit this week, don’t worry; we still have plenty of motors and your shipping time will be entirely typhoon-independent. I promise.

Website Redux

Look different around here?

Sensebridge.net has recently switched to WordPress! We were previously using Radiant, a Ruby on Rails based CMS. ~~Now that we’re using something simpler we’ll finally be implementing web-based ordering (by borrowing someone else’s well-established solution, of course!).~~

~~Until then, you can still order a North Paw by email.~~ [Web-based ordering now implemented!]
