Issue #282 - Furze

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on…no, I’m sorry, I can’t do it. And I’m sorry for the earworm.

But I’ll tell you what we’re not sorry for: sending our photographer Fiacre to the explosive home of Colin Furze for this 12-page HackSpace extravaganza!

Once you’ve had your fill of Colin’s rather phenomenal antics, check out our newly announced Picademy North America dates, online learning opportunities, and Pi-tastic* projects.

Have yourself an amazing week, and I’ll see you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex

*I’m also sorry for ‘Pi-tastic’.
