I propose a site like Thingiverse.com for scale models of historical objects. Like the Aurora History Boutique, but you can print the items, rather than buy them.

Buy a copy for $400 or print one of pennies on the dollar.

 

Perhaps not even a separate site, but use thingiverse, but encourage and develop a set of tags and/categories that raise the awareness of historical scale models.

Cause honestly, this is what we want, scale representations of dinosaurs!

What the Shell? Hands on with the command line. http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/05/20/what-the-shell-hands-on-with-the-command-line/ http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/05/20/what-the-shell-hands-on-with-the-command-line/#comments Mon, 20 May 2013 15:13:43 +0000 http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/?p=308

A hands-on, participant-run workshop for understanding and using the command line (shell) to get things done. I’ll give a very brief intro to using the shell, and then we’ll work on answering questions and doing things!

Some ideas for hands-on instruction:

  • Managing files.
  • Creating small scripts to do things.
  • Manipulating text in files.
  • Transferring files from your computer to another computer (server), and vice versa.

These are just a few ideas, come with a problem you want solved or solutions you have found to share with others!
