On Saturday it was Liverpool Makefest at Liverpool Central Library and we were taking part. At a rough count, three MiaB were there, two of ours and one that belonged to the Library, showing the #Unearthed collection.

But, what a fantastic day and so lovely to be able to tell so many people, the story behind MiaB.

Adrian still stood behind that same table facing the camera, but this time with a visitor leaning over looking at 3D printed and postcard items on the table. Chris is also in shot at a table on Adrian's right, he is gesticulating to a visitor.Adrian stands behind a white table facing the camera. On the table are a collections of 3D printed items and postcards for Museum in a Box. 

Adrian can be found here on Mastadon - https://social.mcqn.com/deck/@amcewen@mastodon.me.ukThis is a photo of the Unearthed collection for Museum in a Box. It sists on a white table, with items such as a packet of seeds, a small fabric apple and a watering can. At the back of the table are accessibility guides for visitors. A display stand in the foreground advises people how to listen while in the background, a sign on another table says FACEPAINTING.

@solderandchaos @DoESLiverpool watched him from the very beginnings, with regular updates. The whole way.

Still absolutely cannot BELIEVE he made that. Just exquisite.

@DoESLiverpool that was absolutely incredible! The way it plays with light but essentially being pixellated yarn - genius!

We've been teasing it for a while, but @bubblino has joined the #Fediverse 🎉

If you mention/follow/boost/favourite any posts from him, us, @museuminabox or @DoESLiverpool then he'll fill the office with actual bubbles!

We've spun up a #PeerTube instance and, for a while at least, we're livestreaming it so you can see him in action:

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

I've been doing a bit of @MCQN_Ltd project archaeology of late. As a result I'm rather pleased with getting this LED to blink in response to the Mastodon API
