Noisebridge's very own Mitch Altman, who you've probably met at one of 
the meetings, developed an open source "Brain Machine". Basically it 
uses light and sound to guide you into altered states of consciousness.

So people, let's build some!
I will organize a place in SF and time next month, and order the parts 
for people (around $15 per). I'd like a non-committal email from people 
who are interested so that I can get a sense of scale. Mitch, I hope 
you'd want to come and give a talk about the project!

The online guide used Lady Ada's miniPOV kit, but to save you money 
we're gonna build it on to a cheapo perf board.

By building one of these you will learn how to:
* Solder
* Program an Atmel Micro
* Make LEDs blink
* Attain Zen-like states in under 7 minutes
