Gever Tulley, famed founder of the Tinkering School has expanded his TED talk "5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do" into a book that anyone looking for a little danger in their lives should check out.

Fifty Dangerous Things (you should let your children do) is a collection of activities, projects, skills, and experiences that explore the idea that kids are safer if they know how to recognize danger and cope with it rationally.

And even if you aren't a kid this book can still serve as a mini-bucket list for your inner child, reigniting the simple joy and wonder of doing something dangerous.

Workshop cancelled.

We didn't get enough signups for the Create-A-Little, Destroy-A-Little Workshop that was scheduled for tomorrow at the Hacktory so we had to cancel. We think it might have something to do with people not wanting to spend time indoors, what with the lovely Spring weather and all. Oh well, we'll give it another try in the future. Until then it is back to the basement to take some things apart. We hope to have a new video up soon showing what is inside an old crushed-ice machine. Stay tuned!
