Hello fellow members and those who may be curious. I had recently created The Geek Group Labs in Minecraft and recorded a walkthrough video.

Today I received a special Happy Birthday Wish. At around 1:30am or so I had checked my YouTube account to see if there were any Captain’s Blogs from Chris Boden, like I always do.

The Geek Group played host to several non-profit organizations, database administrators, software developers, and volunteers on October 21-23 in a bid to see these organizations solve the problems they were having that they could not do on their own.
I found a really cool Arduino controlled door that someone had made. It is a pneumatically opened and closed door. This is awesome. Watch the video for a demo. Bonus points for making it look good too!
