Pomoduino & DigitRaver – 2026-01-13

🇭🇰 · DimSumLabs · Felix Klee

This time we had two guest for our Tuesday HackJam. Torrey came from Shenzhen and brought his Pomoduino kits, which we soldered together. The Pomoduino is a timer that helps you structure the day, concentrate on work, and take regular breaks. It also serves as an introduction into electronics and soldering. Valentin showed us the technology behind DigitRaver , a social virtual world where you can meet friends, chat, and enjoy music together. It runs on modest hardware while supporting a huge number of avatars. For demonstration purposes, Valentin spawned the chaos monkeys!

A Change of Location

🇺🇸 · Spark Studio Salem · sparkstudiosalem

On January 10th, 2026, Spark Studio Salem moved 0.3 miles to the south: 2915 22nd St SE ! This location was last occupied by a laser etching shop, from whom we received a donation of several 150 watt laser cutters and an industrial venting system. We also gained 200 sq ft of indoor ground floor space (now 1500 sq ft), and are now 60 ft from the Tsunami Taproom, an inviting place for food/drink/socializing! We expect this will improve the approachability of our makerspace to match our wide range of friendly crafters of all kinds and levels. See you soon! [-David-]
