I recently bought a calligraphy set as I'm trying to do more arty stuff at the weekends. What's your current weekend project?

I've been working on launching the Product Hunt Boston RSVPs for our Meetup on September 19th. Got a bunch of our design and marketing tasks out of the way. Now we're just confirming the last few judges and startups who will be presenting tomorrow. Starting Monday, I'll make a big push by announcing all the judges + startups (one per day). Perhaps you can help me learn some calligraphy, @abadesi, so we can send out really nice invites + thank you cards after the event? :)

Finishing up my vertical slice for my Wild wWest version of the game I've been building. I'm also now integrating webRTC into the game. This is all in preparation for the challenge we are hosting at the WyoHackathn.io. It's show time;)

I am building a website with themes and snippets for Bulma Css framework. It will also have resources...

Besides working on Deprocrastination, I'll spend a couple hours creating a practical collection of tweets, how-to, perspective shifts, etc for myself and others as well - work name is Vita's Vault.
Abadesi
@vitabenes fun! So Vita’s Vault is about promoting wellbeing?
Vita Benes
@abadesi About making progress in general. It's going to be an organized collection of the most useful ideas (or tweets) I've found. Examples here

My boys (8 and 5) and I are starting on our plans to build a cafe racer. So, the first steps of the project will be sourcing the parts, putting together price lists, and then deciding what design to go with. That can start this weekend, and then after that, it'll be time to actually buy the necessary parts and materials!
Abadesi
@jehunter5811 I just had to google cafe racer - wow that’s impressive! Have you built a motor bike before? It’s on my bucket list to make a pedal bike out of a vintage frame and spare parts.
Justin Hunter
@abadesi Oh a vintage bicycle would be awesome! And no, I haven't built a motorbike before, but I have built cars (basically from the frame up) in my younger days. And I've been riding motorcycles for 10+ years now. So it should be an interesting challenge!

I recently bought a Drone(a tello) , planning to create a glove to control the drone with movement of my hand.
Abadesi
@akshay_vernekar wow that’s awesome! I find drones so tricky to manoeuvre ... do you know Imogen Heap? She’s a musician and tech maker who invented gloves to control her synths and other instruments! So cool!

I'm setting up my upcoming page for my comedy book that includes prison life hacks, workouts, food recipes and slang!

@abadesi - that's awesome! I think calligraphy is such a beautiful skill. I Recently bought a large wooden table for community dinners and this weekend I'm excited to put it together in prep for our first group of guests!

My spare time is consumed by my project/website. Next up I plan to build the mobile app version of it. This may take some time...

I'm creating an app that helps me keep refreshed with my notes. No more letting my notes rot in a folder on my computer!

We've been quietly building @takecarecard (carecard.co) - We've gone thru a few iterations and lots of testing. Everything is working, now in growth mode!

Just configured Amazon FireStick TV to show real-time dashboards that I use for my startup. Added website traffic, live stripe payments and live leads (email subscriptions) and just updated company demo page with it. Very happy with the result!
