GOSH list of List of Open Hardware Projects

"The Grounding Open Source Hardware (GOSH!) Workshop and Summit at The Banff Centre bring together makers, producers and theorizers of open source hardware to facilitate the emerging dialogue on both artist-driven and socially conscious open-source hardware. From prosthetic limbs to electronic hardware, the breadth of open source hardware projects and distributed models of manufacturing suggest that it is time for these disparate manufacturers, designers, artists and engineers to come together to discuss the common issues of their practices."

Peter Semmelhack is building an open source low blood sugar alert device. It is built on the premise that low blood glucose levels will increase heart rate which can be picked up and transmittet to a pulse meter with an alarm.

About

This blog is dedicated to collecting information about software and hardware that I find interesting, fun and useful as a physician/geek.

I've tacked on a Projects page where I journal my ongoing geeky medical projects.

Many thanks to Wordpress for the wonderful blogging engine! I have worked with Joomla for a number of years but found it overkill for my purpose. This blog took literally minutes to set up!

And thanks to Andrei Luca for his cool LightWord theme. It rocks. I know I am not the only one loving it - as of today it has been downloaded more than 80 000 times!

Have fun!
