It’s easy to add EL wire to furniture! Welted EL wire is great for applying with a stapler while standard EL wire makes great upholstery piping. Learn both techniques, as well as soldering to make easy-connect sections (if your couch is a sectional). Full list of supplies/materials at Adafruit.

Laser-Cut ASCII Heart Necklace <3
November 28, 2011
This geeky necklace depicts an ASCII heart, like you’d see in email or text messages: <3! The pieces are laser-cut in Sterling silver, then hand soldered to silver tubes that hang from the 20" curb chain. The necklace has a high-shine finish and is treated to reduce tarnishing. The pendant measures 1.5" square, and the two pieces dangle freely with a silver bead between them. This necklace makes a great gift for any special occasion, especially Valentine's Day. Made with love and lasers in NYC - buy now at the Sternlab store as well as Adafruit and Maker Shed.
The 5000W laser cutter that cut these pieces is the size of a living room.

It’s the fifth episode of his series NYC 2.0 on NYCMedia (The official network of the city of New York), which airs at 8:30pm on Sundays on channel 25 (and also online shortly thereafter).

Suits for Wall Street
October 17, 2011
On Saturday, October 15 2011, the Proper Business Attire Working Group distributed free business suits to Occupy Wall Street demonstrators in Liberty Park in NYC’s financial district. I performed alterations on ill-fitting hems while hairs were trimmed and ties selected. We suited about 120 men and women.
We all look great in suits. To reporters, to workers, to skeptical tourists, we’ll look like people to listen to, or, at the very least, to hear out. Lazy journalists won’t be able to take the easy, dismissive out, and will have to actually listen to what we are saying. The conversation will grow out of the protester echo chamber and into the wider world, where it belongs. Suits are tactical camouflage in the warrens of Wall Street. And there are other advantages. Need a bathroom? Try wearing a suit. It’s easy. Want to walk past a police barricade? Put on a suit.
