  On Thursday, August 12, 2010 (7:00PM - 9:00PM), in Brooklyn, NY, our friends at the Madagascar Institute are doing a workshop called Shop Tools 101.

  This two hour class, which SHOULD be a pre-requisite for most Madagascar Institute classes, will teach you the basics of how to effectively prepare materials using our equipment. You'll learn to send sparks flying with grinders and cutters, make ridiculous amount of noise and smoke out the other artisans in the shop. Oh, and there are safety tips.

  Gotta love a "learning institution" whose motto is "Fear is never boring" and that also has a class on "Flamethrowers: Theory and Practice" on their calendar.

  Sign up for the Shop Tools class is here.

  Shop Tools 101
  Thursday, August 12, 2010, 7PM - 9PM)
  Madagascar Institute
  217 Butler Street
  Brooklyn, NY 11217
  Cost: $25 members/$40 non-members

  Real R/C cars meet racing arcade action

  Posted: August 8th, 2010, 1:00am MDT

  

  Via the HacDC Blabber list comes this giddy-with-awesome cardboard racetrack with camera-mounted R/C cars and an arcade racing cockpit where the driver controls the vehicle. The builder, Malte Jehmlich, says he spent several months working on the project. It's WipEout meets vintage R/C racing. I want! [Thanks, Daniel Packer!]
