John Tiernan – Blog

So it appears that I am this months Member of the Month over at element14. Quite a surprise, no acceptance speech or anything though. Instead you get this old photo

Coming soon is the UK Maker Faire 2013 in Newcastle, I’ll be there, will you?

Build Updates!

The pep build is slowly coming on. Currently onto smoothing out the shell and getting the ears cut and built to go on. Need to find a suitable way to construct the lenses for the eyes.

New project is to build a guitar amp, and as a side project an Atari Punk. This started off well, until discovering I had forgotten to order a few heatsinks for the PSU. Fingers may have been slightly cooked.

New project up now! Read about it on Behance

Next versions may be available for sale. Get in touch if you are interested!

So this coming weekend (13/14th March) is MakerFaire UK in Newcastle as part of the Newcastle Science Fest. So who is going? What are you looking forward to the most?

If you are reading this after the event, what did you enjoy the most?

Once in a while you come across a site worth sharing, other times you just happen to find them. This is one of those times.

A friend, commonly known as Steph has one such page. In this particular case, it is her blog. A must read for all art appreciators and music fans.

Until next time, enjoy.
