Never a dull moment (well … almost never …)<\/p>\n

Wednesday a Toool delegation went to the 11th Pecha Kucha night<\/a> in Amsterdam. For those who do not know pecha kucha: it a series of small presentations. Each presentation contains of twenty slides and each slide will be shown for exactly twenty seconds. And I can tell you: twenty seconds is fast when you are on stage. I also did a presentation and it went ok, although I must admit it was not my best performance ever. <\/p>\n

After the presentation we put up a lockpick table and did a hands on session. From the three hundred attendees quite a large number learned to pick locks that evening. Worth mentioning is that the evening was organized in a former bank building<\/a>. Guess who we found drooling over<\/a> the huge safe<\/a> (containing Lips four wheel<\/a> combination locks)?<\/p>\n

The last slide of my presentation<\/a> was about an idea we have for quite some time now. We are looking for a ‘mechanical hacker space’ (or a Toool playground, hardware shop etc). A room to have our toool meetings but also a permanent workshop and possibly even training room.Currently we are exploring all sorts of relatively low costs rooms (like a 40<\/a>m2 and 90<\/a>m2 room<\/a> at the Volkskrant building<\/a>). After the presentation someone came to us and gave some more leads to cheap places were creative people come together. Lets see if this place ever becomes more then just an idea. If you have a nice space for rent we are interested to hear about it …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
