[Noisebridge-discuss] FW: Exploratorium Invitation

[Mitch Altman]

Hey All,

 

Craig Anderson, of The Exploratorium, sent us a message on our Facebook account.  It is copied, below.

 

The Exploratorium is asking us if we'd like to participate in exhibit there next month.  They are showing the cool things that people have done to soup up, pimp out, and otherwise make their computers way cool looking, as well as super fast.

 

The link he gives is to the press release for the exhibit, entitled, Rods & Mods: The Kustom Kulture of Radical Computer Modification.  If you take a look at the press release, you'll see that it gives a very positive representation of hackers.

 

I wrote Craig and told him that I'd email the list to see if there was any interest of people at Noisebridge.

 

Has anyone made cool mods to their computers that they'd like to share in this cool exhibit at one of the coolest museums in the world?

 

Cheers,

Mitch.
