[Noisebridge-discuss] When were bunk-beds installed?

[Jake]

sounds like a great big "fear project" to me.

Noisebridge had a problem with people sleeping in the space, and using it 
as their residence.

The most powerful tool we had was the ability to catch people sleeping and 
point out that they had grossly misunderstood the purpose of noisebridge, 
and ask them to leave.  Asking someone to leave when they are falling 
asleep in your hackerspace is a great way to impress upon them not to do 
it again, and to respect the space.

So then one person who thought it would HELP the situation to build beds 
in the space (does anyone agree?) teams up with a person who enjoys 
building stuff no matter what it is, and noisebridge has bunk beds.

Now when we see people sleeping in the space like it's their home, we 
don't bother to say anything because they'll just point to the beds.

We are currently using an RF Neurosky Mindwave that runs on the
ThinkGear Chipset.

I call it black box because the device uses proprietary algorithms to
give an "e-sense meditation" and "e-sense attention" metric once per
second. It also spits out a "power bin" measure for 7 bins between
0-40hz once per second. The frequency domain analysis is also hidden in
the chip.

On the bright side, we see something like 512 raw data measures per
second (as 2 byte integers between 0-65535). As well as a signal quality
metric once per second and a blink event can also be recorded in the
payload.

Essentially, we are always looking for new devices to prototype.
