03.15.09March 17: Redesigning found objectsMarch 17 you're invited to Industrigatan 20, to join us in hacking, designing, redesigning objects we found or created. Yes, you, inventive reader! As a new way of organizing our activity, we'll have two items on the agenda: the Organized Item (pre-planned and thought out), followed by the Free-ranging Scientific Inquiry (i.e. you futzing around with stuff, plans made up on the spot).
