After a year, our #cosmic-ray #muon detector's contribution at the Forever exhibit #MOD. museum has come to a close to prepare for next year's new exhibit. It's now safely home and still working with 926652 counts of muons and 36379040 counts of background. cosmicray.com.au/cosmic-forever

A #Makerspace is different and more than I first imagined. Reflecting on 15 years of participating in #Makerspaces and #Hackerspaces. www.linkedin.com/pulse/makers...

International Cosmic Day 2025 at the library and makerspace. #library #physics #internationalcosmicday #stem #astroparticlephysics #makerspace

Meaningful work, activity, or recreation—whatever you choose to call it—is important in everyone’s life. Regardless of ability, disability, or individual talent, having a sense of purpose is a fundamental human need and a vital part of our quality of life.

A very special guest speaker at this Sunday's IoT meeting. Dr Sebastian Tomczak (Little-Scale) is an Adelaide-based music technologist little-scale.blogspot.com Discussing his experiments with IoT, Home Assistant, and Max for Live/Ableton integration. events.humanitix.com/iot-experime...

Registrations open July 14th collections.humanitix.com/stem-squad

Come and visit me at the Port Plaza on Friday 11:30 am to 1:30 pm I'll have some #stem activities and activations. ;) www.portadelaideplaza.com.au/event-and-of...

The new indoor paper #rocket #holiday program ran just as well as our outdoor air-water rocket program. Some exploded on the launch pad, only one got stuck in the roof :)

#cosmicray #enthusiasts in #adelaide I'm planning an event, for the 14th International Cosmic Day, Thursday 13th November 2025, at PEA Libraries at Parks. Please email me if you would like to help and be involved, [email protected]. We can schedule a meeting to discuss. icd.desy.de

Parks Library #Repair Cafe next Sunday 8th 1pm to 3pm events.humanitix.com/parks-repair...

How do you build a paper #rocket launcher?

Just completed a new indoor #rocket launching system.

We are hosting a special all day #stem #training for all #sa #library people in collaboration with #South #Australia public libraries #PLS. It's being held at the lovely Parks #Library and #Makerspace on 16th June. Send me an email to [email protected] for details.

Our next #Iot #experimenters is next Sunday, 18 May, 1 pm—3 pm—Parks #Library CR2 (events.humanitix.com/iot-experime...). The agenda is the Rain Gauge Model RG-15 (rainsensors.com/products/rg-...). I also have some of the #RAK Wisblock-meshtastic-starter-kits and other #electronics equipment

Terrorism US ICE.. What does terrorism look like? People being abducted by armed men, without uniforms, warrants, identification, in unmarked cars and then being deported without due legal processes.

Today, the #PAE #Libraries #STEM team explained #rocket #science to 20 children and their families. The children then built and launched their own air-water rockets on Semaphore Beach.

Everyone asks me how to build an #air-water #rocket launcher, so I'm slowly moving information about projects unrelated to Cosmic Rays to my old hardhack.org.au domain. hardhack.org.au/rockets-air-...

Look at what the LNP did when in government: 10 years of nothing on climate mitigation, funding corporations billions on carbon capture nonsense. Making the poor, unemployed, and aboriginal a crime. Dumping down public service, outsourcing to consultancy. Dutton doesn't like you and will do more.

Techno-authoritarianism is not a new fad of the techno-bros. Its roots are in fascism, surprise-surprise. Forget the past and break things www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Rockets on the #beach bookings opened today, almost booked out. #Adelaide #Semaphore #Rocket #Science events.humanitix.com/rockets-on-t...

Next Sunday at the Parks Library Community Room 2 - 1.00 pm 3.00 pm events.humanitix.com/parks-repair...

Really?? Reduce the cost of living?? By sacking 1000s of people, stopping wage growth and spending billions of taxpayers' money to fund corporations to build complex nuclear-powered steam machines backed up by fracking thousands of methane gas wells because solar and wind are ugly?

I heard a comment that tariffs are like putting rocks in your harbour to stop boats coming in. So retaliating by putting rocks in our own harbour so boats can't go out is ridiculous.

The first pre-launch system checks begin, parts counting charging batteries, making minor repairs, lubricating and pressure testing.

One of our special interest groups I organise at the #library has been collecting #microclimate data at 4 locations across Adelaide for nearly 3 years. It is an #opensource project, and data is accessible to download. hardhack.org.au/microclimates/

Built Launch systems for Air-Water Rockets since 2017. I've built several versions with several 100 launches. Current system launches four rockets simultaneously, 100 metres high. Our next launch window is scheduled for the School Holidays on Semaphore Beach. events.humanitix.com/host/paelibr...

Oh my goodness! hackaday.io is being bandwidth throttled/censored/restricted; it has been operating since 2004 :( What next, Wikipedia?

A very special new type of component I'm going to experiment with.

David Riley and I are presenting today. Sustainability in our STEM and Makerspace programs at PAE Libraries. #InfoOnline2025

Charging with five watt panel 4 AH lithium ion battery while running a meshtastic.

Seems to me if everyone else in the world had no tariffs between each other and the US does the US would lose

What other job could you say after an event, "I've got a pocket full of broken servos"

In my spare time, I make #Cosmic Ray #Muon Detectors. This was designed and built to be a part of the 2025 #MOD #Museum #Forever Exhibition. It is an open-frame design, showing the internal electronics and #Geiger-Müller Tubes. More details here cosmicray.com.au/cosmic-forever

I run the Parks #Library #Makerspace, #free for anyone to use with a Library Card, 6 days a week. #XTool P2 #laser cutter, 3 Bambu Lab #3D Printers, heaps of #tools, #electronics #equipment. You can book a room induction here. events.humanitix.com/makers-advis...

I've been involved with many social technology experiments, DTMF tone decoding over CB, BBS, FIDO net the Internet, IRC. History repeats itself especially art with ascii art an ever present system through the history of technology, now today I see it over meshtastic. meshtastic.org

I feel dirty, humiliated and distressed that I use FB, Microsoft, and just about all social media and streaming services. The US disgust me. No wonder everyone is fategued. Is that your plan, or just a coincidence, thanks for fucking the world, ass whole.

Got the Air-stream gang coming out for a visit tomorrow night come along and join us for an open equipment demo of the makerspace at parks library events.humanitix.com/makers-teste...

I was a speaker at #everythingopen2025 2025.everythingopen.au on Detecting Cosmic Ray Muons. I believe there might be a video release at some stage, 2025.everythingopen.au/schedule/pre..., but here is my slide presentation. cosmicray.com.au/everything-o... youtu.be/lhXS8u_L5BA

From a young age I've been involved special interest groups, electronics, technology, science. Through these activities, I have learned a great deal, built projects that I could never have accomplished alone, formed friendships and expanded my professional network and that of others. Sadly many gone

Parks #library #makerspace is for all the #community events.humanitix.com/parks_makers...

I'm beginning a series of free Makers Tester Workshops this year at different library locations. Starting with an opening of the Parks Makerspace on Friday, 28 February 5:30 pm-7 pm Please Book here - events.humanitix.com/makers-teste...
