[hackerspaces] Synchronous Hackathon #2

[psytek]

During the January hackathon at At Alpha One Labs we:

Took a trip to Canal Plastics and Harbor Freight Tools.

Setup a text to speech script that relays what people say in the irc and
ustream chat channels over the speakers in the hackerspace.

Assembled the mechanical parts for one of our twin Mendel RepRaps.
 Electronics are currently in progress.

Wired up an RFID door reader that auto checks in with Foursquare.
