Chicago: City of makers

It’s been a few weeks since the last crowdfunding robot roundup. We’ve moved cities, from Moscow to London, and have been busy with all sorts of robot, tech and other fun. And my scan of this weeks robot crowdfunding scene has lots of cool robot projects including an artificial intelligence cube, a pocket drone, a cute and helpful shopping assistance robot and a few other projects looking at the potential of robots to change our lives, hopefully for the better. Things get a little crazy though! (Read More)

Review: Mohop Sandals/Shoes “Bespoke”

December 30th - via: apairofshoesforeveryday.com
For the past three and half years, I have been the proud owner of 2 pairs of “Bespoke” Mohop Sandals. I came across the company accidentally several years ago while perusing Etsy.com. I was initially attracted to the look of the shoe and was interested in its construction. I searched for their website and read more about the company before deciding to purchase. I really liked the company’s mission and vision and social consciousness. I like their focus on using sustainable and recycle-able materials as well as materials that are fair trade. (Read More)

CraftSanity Episode 50 Shoe Designer Annie Mohaupt

March 2nd - via: craftsanity.com
Annie Mohaupt majored in architecture but found the office setting was not for her. When a friend asked her to share a table at the Renegade Craft Fair, she had a reason to execute that shoe idea she had been kicking around for a while. The shoes were hot sellers and the rest is history. Now, Annie, 31, of Chicago makes shoes full-time. To date she has turned out more than 1,000 pairs of cute and comfortable handmade shoes. (These shoes are so great -- I bought a pair myself). (Read More)
