Noisebridge Open House

October 2, 2009mrericboyd No Comments »

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.


Paypal Buttons

Ordering a North Paw just got a lot easier! We’ve upgraded to a Paypal business account, and that was the magic needed to start using their shopping carts feature.

When we have more new senses to offer you, it will probably make sense to build our own in-site shopping cart. But with only one product, Paypal’s shopping carts are just fine. Hey, you don’t even need a Paypal account to use it. So if you’ve been waiting to make an order, now’s the time! Head to our orders page and give that Add to Cart button a whirl.


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!]
