We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

One of the downsides of being your own boss is that you don’t get to snigger at inane nonsense dressed up as management speak. Laughing at endless meetings full of ‘blue sky flagpoles’ and ‘leveraging synergies’ have got us through many a dark time, so if you’re missing a middle manager in your life, why not make one yourself, like Eight Bits and a Byte (aka Dane and Nicole) have done.
All it took was an old briefcase, a Raspberry Pi 3 model B to control the thing, plus an MG995 servo motor to make the lid move, plus an Adafruit mini USB external speaker to dispense buzzwords, inspirational quotes, and conflicting and confusing advice. Accessorise with a tie and some googly eyes, and you’ve got a real-life corporate companion.
