I'm in the media again!

[mattp]

This time, not the documentary from 2004. On Wednesday I went to a social group called Hackspace. I'd been to a couple of them before but heard through the grapevine that the BBC were going to be in attendance so made special effort to go to this one.

I'm about 80 seconds in from the start of the vid at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8108151.stm making somewhat a tit of myself rooting through a box of miscellanous parts donated to us. Full article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/newsid_8107000/8107803.stm

The event itself is just a social space for people to work on hardware ideas, software ideas or just to chat about technology in general. Like a social club for geeks, but with a (mild) emphasis on getting stuff done.

Awesome fun, if a bit hot due to the number of people. Rumour has it that the London group will be purchasing a fixed place soon, rather than just using a spare room in a pub. Yet another time sink for me!

I just had this link forwarded to me by Chris via email - just came to check you knew it was there. Looks like fun! (Though I wouldn't have a clue at all what anything did...)
