Rachel Taylor of Somewhere Studios uses photography and new media based projects as a
tool for community cultural development, including this fetching stereoscope kit for creating your own old-timey optical illusions.

This coming Monday, Feb. 24 at 2pm PST, Kevin Kelly (founding executive editor of Wired, former editor/publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog, and founder of the excellent tool review site, Cool Tools) will be chatting in a G+ Hangout with Tim O’Reilly about a number of interesting things, centered around the topics of makers and cool tools. “I expect it will be an intense conversation,” writes Kevin.

As we kick off a week of Raspberry Pi projects, tutorials, and videos next Monday, we’re launching a contest for creative and original Pi projects. The contest period runs from now until Feb. 28.

If you’re a fan of sweets and stacking things on top of each other then you’ll be hard pressed to find anything not to like about a new project by Brendan Jamison and Mark Revels called Sugar Metropolis.
