Hope everybody is having a safe and enjoyable season and looking forward to the new year. I know the 2600 chapter, here in Rochester, NY most certainly is. There are BIG things going on here.  Most notably, the creation of a hacker space, called Interlock Rochester.

Just a quick note/reminder for everyone, the meetings normally fall on the first Friday of every month, but due to the holiday our meeting will be 1 week from this Friday, on the 8th. The same time and venue.

They’ve got an awesome location and these pictures don’t do it justice. Some of things that really caught my attention:

  • hand built two factor authentication system for 24×7 access using an old Fujitsu laptop
  • tons of donated servers, monitors, hardware
  • Ghosts and Goblins old school arcade game
  • drive up access to the space on the 4th floor
  • soon to be finished conference room
  • pool table, color printer, couches, quiet area, workshop

These guys have only been around a couple of months but they’ve got their game together.

Some pictures from the visit:

Hackerspaces are very open to interpretation – hardware guys are interested in the tool shed idea where resources are pooled to purchase fun equipment to make things, security guys like to test new software, business professionals are interested in a dedicated place to work on their projects away from the distractions at home, and some people are just interested in the social idea of having a dedicated place where like minded people can hang out.

The idea of a Rochester hackerspace is not a new idea – a LOT of people have thought of it in one way shape or form. Come out on to Spot Coffee at 7pm this Wednesday or at least show your support on the meetup page and become a member.

Members of Diyode, HackLab.TO, KwartzLab all met up at the new hackerspace, Think|Haus in Hamilton, Ontario.

This was the first time Think|Haus was open to the public since they leased  the space just a few months ago. The whole event was amazing. Just some of the highlights:

  • The badges had an Arduino in them to do cool stuff
  • Leigh from Hacklab.To put together a MakerBot that can fabricate 3 dimensional items
  • James gave a great presentation about hacking for kids
  • Radio frequency presentation about trunking technologies and what’s legal and illegal about listening in on police, fire, and emergency frequencies
  • The people and the conversations going on were unlike any other con I’ve been to.

The event finished and a lot of us took the trip to Toronto to hang out at HackLab.TO and attend Nuit Blanche

These guys will be back next year and I look forward to what they can do with more than two months notice!
