The first 20 hours — how to learn anything: Josh Kaufman at TEDxCSU

Josh Kaufman is the author of the #1 international bestseller, ‘The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business’, as well as the upcoming book ‘The First 20 Hours: Mastering the Toughest Part of Learning Anything.’ Josh specializes in teaching people from all walks of life how to master practical knowledge and skills. In his talk, he shares how having his first child inspired him to approach learning in a whole new way.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Learn 3D Printing at Deezmaker March 9th

Learn 3D Printing at Deezmaker March 9th

 

Sunday March 2nd is our Monthly Meet Up at Deezmaker.

It’s time again for our monthly meeting of 3D printing enthusiasts. Want to see what this is all about? Come and drop in on Sunday, March 2nd anytime from noon to 5 PM at the Deezmaker 3-D printer shop at 290 N. Hill Ave in Pasadena. We have an open meeting on the first Sunday of every month. If you can’t make it this month, the next two will be on April 6th and June 4th.

You are also invited to register for:

Learn 3D Printing – Going Zero to Plastic in an afternoon

Sunday, March 9th, 2014 from 1:00 PM6:00 PM

Have you been wondering what this 3-D printing excitement is all about?

Spend an afternoon at Deezmaker Hackerspace in Pasadena, makers of the Bukobot and Bukito 3-D printer. You will learn how to download and use the relevant free open source software you need to use an Reprap (or similar) 3-D printer.

Open-source 3D printing requires use of two programs: a 3-D modeling program to lay out the desired model, and a program to convert that design into the commands for the printer (which runs on “G-code”).

The class will be taught by Diego Porqueras, creator of the Bukobot and President of Deezmaker, and other Deezmaker staff.  The class will cover a quick history of 3-D printing, types of 3-D printing and its relationship to the open source movement; basics of OpenSCAD and TinkerCAD free 3-D modeling software, and how “Slicing” works as a G-code generator. By the end, participants will make something cool in plastic with our 3-D printers!

The class will run from 1 PM to 6 PM on Sunday, March 9th at the Deezmaker Store and Hackerspace in Pasadena, 290 N. Hill Ave., 91106

Each participant must bring their own laptop computer (Mac, Windows, Linux).

Participants will be sent a list of open-source free software to download ahead of time to make the most efficient use of class time. The class will focus on the specific settings for a Bukobot, but the material applies broadly to all RepRap style open source based printers.

New Pasadena Farmers’ Market Wednesdays City Hall Starts April 16, 2014 #pasadena #farmersmarket

Looking forward to the new Pasadena Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays at City Hall Starts April 16, 2014 #pasadena #farmersmarket

The Pasadena Farmers’ Market which had previously been held on South Lake and later moved to the Playhouse District is now going to move to Pasadena City Hall Centennial Square.

We received word today at the Pasadena Certified Farmers’ Market at Victory Park.

Also, note that there are a few other vendors making an appearance at the Victory Farmer’s Market, including Karen with Mother Moo delicious Ice Cream and a new citrus.

New Saturday s, 2nd and 4th, Mother Moos Creamery, of Sierra Madre. Ice creams and popsicles…yum, and we certainly cannot blame winter on the good flavors. Stop and meet Karen, one of our newest artisans.

More details are forthcoming on the new market.

For more details the markets available in Pasadena. Also keep in mind that there is a market on Sunday’s operated by Southland Farm’s which is not the same organization that runs the other markets in Pasadena.
