The idea is to be able to use it to inspect circuit boards, to see how awesome our solder jobs are, etc.  But of course in practice we quickly turned the device on anything and everything in the space!  It&#8217;s super fun to project the live magnification video on our projector and just rove around the room.  I took a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrericboyd/sets/72157629459654966/">set of pictures</a> from one of the first play sessions with the device, and it shows how cool the device is.  I think my favorite discovery was how <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrericboyd/6934903694/in/set-72157629459654966">organic the eink screens</a> on the Nook are, I didn&#8217;t expect anything like what we found!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hacklab is announcing three workshops for the end of 2011:</p>
<p>Monday Nov 28th, 7-9pm: RepRap Users Group &#038; Workshop<br />
Come to hacklab.to to play with 3D printers!  See RepRap.org.  We&#8217;ll have our MakerBot Cupcake working, plus a good chance of having a functional RepRap, and several other printers under construction.  Bring your own and we&#8217;ll all help each other!  Newbies welcome, want to come see what a 3D printer looks like and learn how it works?  Maybe even get inspired to build your own? This night is for you!</p>
<p>Monday Dec 5th, 7-9pm: Soldering Workshop #5<br />
<a href="http://hacklab-soldering5.eventbrite.com/">RSVP at Eventbrite</a> (limit 10 people)<br />
For total beginners, or those with some experience. Learn how to solder. Soldering is a method of assembling an electronic circuit using a hot iron and solder, a metal which liquefies at a fairly low temperature. Instruction by Eric is free, and we’ll have a variety of interesting kits on hand for you to purchase as learning templates. You’ll take your kit home at the end of the night, working, guaranteed!  Open to the public &#8211; you do not have to be a member of hacklab to attend.</p>
<p>Monday Dec 12th, 7-9pm: Arduino Total Beginners Workshop<br />
Arduino Beginners Workshop. For total beginners. All are welcome, no RSVP required. Eric will show you how to get started with Arduino, the super-friendly microcontroller platform that even artists love. We’ll cover getting the software installed and going, hooking up the Arduino, and a little bit of basic programming, via explanation of the Examples. You too can cut and paste your way to a working project!  You’ll need to bring your own Arduino (any kind will do) and a laptop on which you can install software. Also please bring any cables required to attach your Arduino to your laptop – typically this means an A to B USB cable. If you do not have an Arduino, you can purchase one at Creatron, only a few blocks away from hacklab at 255 College Street.</p>
<p>All workshops are free and open to the public.</p>
