Featured on Dangerous Prototypes: Reverse Engineering Car Parking Sensors


One of our members, James Kemp, was featuredĀ on the Dangerous Prototypes blog for his work on reverse engineering car parking sensors. Cool!

James’ full article can be seen on the instructables website here.

No plans for the weekend? Fix that!

Friday at i3 Detroit: It’s the return of the infamousĀ unusual musical instrument jam session! Does you own something that makes noise? Then bring it along, and play it! Things should be rolling by 8pm, see the original post for details.

Saturday at District VII: Travelers on the Fabric of Time, a steampunk ball at which some i3 creations will be featured. Also burlesque performances, an aerial act, music, and more. District VII has a fantastic space, and if you haven’t been down there for an event before, it’s worth checking out. It’s not too late to glue some gears on something! šŸ˜‰

(Also, website hiccups continue as we work with our new webhost to iron out some server quirks. Bear with us.)

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Don’t panic! You may have noticed over the past couple weeks the website has been changing!Ā We’re trying some new things. In the near future we’ll be rolling out more improvements and updates.

Over the weekend we took a leap and switched our web host to a locally hosted company. Ā A2 Hosting, an Ann Arbor-based web hosting company, has donated space forĀ i3detroit.com.

If you are looking for a new provider, I recommend A2hosting. We’ve been running our development site with them for a while now and I’m quite happy with the service they’ve provided.

A few hiccups in the migration caused some downtime on Sunday, otherwise everything should be running fairly smooth.Ā Minor bugs are still being found, so feel free to comment, suggest, and discuss any issues or improvements on the forums.
