It has been a little while since my last post here, but things have been as exciting as ever in the world of computer reuse! Here are some quick news updates.

• The first thing I would like to mention is a bit on the sad side. My two speaking engagements in Amsterdam last week were canceled on account of the Icelandic volcano. I apologize to everyone in Amsterdam who missed the event and hope to make it there in the near future.
   
• Secondly, I had a really fun time interviewing with the BBC world service a few days ago and you can now listen to the interview online. It was particularly nice because I got a chance to talk about some of the projects in a little more depth.

  The commentary about computer reuse directly following my interview by Drew Hemment is pretty interesting and definitely worth a listen. He also talks earlier in the program about the Eyewriter which is this year’s winner of The Future Everything Award. This device was created by some of my friends and colleagues at the F.A.T. Lab. I highly encourage you to checkout their segment (and project) as well.
  
  
• Inhabitat, everyone’s favorite sustainable design blog, gives a nice shout-out today to 62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer in their Electronics Recycling 101 Guide.
   
• The Bay Area Maker Faire is rapidly approaching and I can’t wait to go and present some of the projects, raffle away a Gamer Guitar and sign some books. So, come to the Maker Faire with your copy in hand and I will both sign and draw strange pictures into it! If you don’t have a copy yet, you will be able to get one in the Maker Shed while you’re there.
