#introduction
Hi this is Cookie! I have worked as a technician in various art studios and #makerspaces for the past ten years. For longer than that I have made art and music. I have also done a lot of work in #ArtEducation including performative workshops. I run an Open Source #ComputerClub at u of toronto.

Currently I am working on a #webart project called “Exodus Big Techius: Root to leaving Google/Apple/Microsoft for the Collective Open Source”. My other current focus is prepping for #OHS2026 where I will be exhibiting a sound #sculpture and a new art book.

For fun, I'm very into #knitting and am a member of the local spinner and weavers guild. I love hiking and native pollinator gardening. I am planning to learn #bikepacking and the bass clarinet this summer. I love anachronisms, synchronicities, and #esoterica. I wonder about becoming a shepherd or lighthouse keeper.

Here's a photo of something swampy I knit that I feel speaks to my personality :)

The #FreeCAD 1.1 release video is cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9biWv_M8p8

#Berlin ist damit ganz gut versorgt mit öffentlicher Podcastinfrastruktur. Die @zlb_berlin hat auch ein Podcaststudio, zahlreiche @voebb -Bibliotheken #Podcast-Equipment in ihren #Makerspaces (https://www.voebb.de/aDISWeb/app?service=direct/0/Home/$DirectLink&noRedir&sp=SPROD00&sp=SWI01000367). Die ZLB archiviert Podcasts im Rahmen der elektronischen Pflichtabgabe. Jetzt fehlt nur noch ein attraktives Hosting-Angebot und Metadaten-/Lizenzberatung, vgl. auch https://www.b-i-t-online.de/heft/2026-01-nachrichtenbeitrag-wuttke.pdf

A bittersweet night tonight as the #omahamakergroup closed for the final time . We've had a good run. Built things, won PWRS races, blew up things and made life long friends. On Saturday we merge into #madenewmakerspace which give the #Omaha #Maker community a better facility and expanded programs. Onwards and upwards. Keep Making!

#makerspaces. #diy.

#MakerSpaces - Let's go!

Energy & focus on Artificial Intelligence ( #AI ) would be more valuable to individuals, communities & society if invested in neighborhood #MakerSpaces, and improving human creativity. Less screen-time, more hands-on building, art, innovation...
