[Lab] Looking forward to the next Wednesday meeting

[Stephen Burke]

Thanks Andrew, I just went to http://www.makehuman.org/ and checked it out.

This looks VERY interesting.  I will definitely have to see what I can do
with this.

Glad you could make it out!

Btw, that GPL'd parametric human model thing I mentioned is at

Andrew and the Cupcake in action (the other cupcakes were delicious).  Truly
a nice piece of equipment, and small enough for any enthusiast (my wife
still told me "No" when I suggested getting one - dang!).  The laser cutter
was impressive too, and the soldering station is really well equipped.  I
just might have to move in.

model based upon my 3D Studio renderings.  I would not try to accomplish
such a task on my own, perhaps others at Mod Lab would be interested in a
collaberative project.  It certainly would be an envelope-pushing
undertaking; requiring robotics, electronics, artistic painting and advanced
model making skills.

like a perfect venue for him to gain some insight.
