These classes fill up, reserve your spot now!
Harness the power of an Eplilog 35 Watt Laser! In this class you'll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser. This class will be focused on making Holiday Ornaments, and will include our overall explanation of laser use that gives you a discounted rate on future lasering. We will have a number of holiday themed design cuts available.
In this three hour class, we'll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the "go" button on the laser. We'll cover safety and basic design skills in Inkscape and you'll learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you'll have made a least one ornament for the holidays (if there's time maybe five or more). (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)
<IMG SRC="http://herbhoover.com/newsletter_images/AstridaLazzor3.jpg" ALT="Laser Cut Designs by Astrida Valigorsky" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="200">
After learning the basics, each student will create their own design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest [midwestproducts.com] and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 12" x 24" so buy materials accordingly.
 
<IMG SRC="http://herbhoover.com/newsletter_images/AstridaLazzor4.jpg" ALT="Laser Cut Designs by Astrida Valigorsky" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="200">
Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project. We use Inkscape because it saves .svg files natively and is open source. Inkscape is available at inkscape.org
This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Lunar Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Night [see calendar for times].
This class is taught by NYC Resistor member Astrida Valigorsky.
All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up. Sorry, minors.

Class: Talk: Bitcoin - Everything you were afraid to ask ... and more!

Dec 17 11:00 PM - Dec 18 3:00 AM

🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor

Join us for <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/talk-bitcoin-everything-you-were-afraid-to-ask-and-more-tickets-14877319463?ref=ebapi"> Talk: Bitcoin - Everything you were afraid to ask ... and more!</a>:
 
Join us for a two part discussion on Bitcoin by Andrew Sheppard.
Bitcoin is a new form of electronic cash growing in popularity. As a system it is a protocol, a P2P network, and a bunch of cryptographic algorithms. Oh, and add a new form of global currency to that list. In short, Bitcoin is a bundle of technology and economic concepts all rolled into one.
Bitcoin is also like the tooth fairy: most have heard about it, but few have actually encountered it for real. And even those who have actually encountered Bitcoin don’t really know what it is at a basic (read “fundamental”) level; in particular, too emphasis is placed on the technology and not enough on the economics of Bitcoin, though both are highly novel. This talk remedies that.
Andrew Sheppard ("Shep") is a consultant on Wall Street who works in the areas of Big Data and Big Compute. He is also a part-time professor teaching on the Masters in Financial Engineering (MFE) program at Baruch College.

BlinkyTile is a system of LED lights on pentagonal tiles for creating dynamic light sculptures in (almost) any shape you can imagine. Currently in the fulfillment phase of a successful Kickstarter campaign, we’re looking for beta-testers to give us feedback on the assembly and programming of the BlinkyTile to help refine the final version that backers will receive. <IMG STYLE="cursor: pointer; outline: 0px;" SRC="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=2c9be20e89&view=fimg&th=14a16a8496fb779d&attid=0.1&disp=emb&realattid=ii_14a16a0a1e489889&attbid=ANGjdJ9Lt7-3SIknM9y3f3dlTVDebKrgS3yxXafN4kRKxWqgJuP0FjpRhp4M8XtqhdmbNsBIvXQq29wCPQe63LqPyx1pqMP_0LI3_NQWv6wVETXHNGU8kMoJDJ8mEe0&sz=w1124-h494&ats=1418059357527&rm=14a16a8496fb779d&zw&atsh=1" ALT="Inline image 1" WIDTH="562" HEIGHT="247">

 BlinkyTile Christmas Ornament Workshop In this 3-hour workshop, participants will prepare and assemble a 14-tile kit to make a dodecahedron lamp like the one seen above - or another shape of your choosing! We expect to see some spectacular tree-toppers and light wreaths as well. After soldering the boards into a sculpture, we’ll connect the controller board and test everything out together. Time permitting, we may be able to cover more advanced topics, like controlling your BlinkyTile sculpture via your computer using Processing. No prior soldering experience is needed (in fact, it's a great way to learn!) For each purchased workshop seat, we will provide:
<UL>
<LI STYLE="margin-left: 15px;">14-tile kits</LI>
<LI STYLE="margin-left: 15px;">BlinkyTile controller board</LI>
<LI STYLE="margin-left: 15px;">6-foot USB micro cable</LI>
<LI STYLE="margin-left: 15px;">Solder and the use of a soldering station for assembly</LI>
<LI STYLE="margin-left: 15px;">Stranded wire for attaching the controller board to the finished sculpture</LI>
</UL>
 Everything needed for this workshop will be provided. A computer to make your own customized pattern is recommended but optional. NYC Resistor member Matt Mets will be leading this workshop, along with members of the Blinkinlabs team.

Our Forth Annual Festivus - Festivus VI

On the night of the 20th December 2014 members and their guests are invited to the historic and traditional Festivus Party at Nottingham Hackspace.

Activities will be kicked off at 18:30 with a screening of Seinfeld "Festivus for the rest of us" at 19:00 followed by:

FESTIVUS DINNER

EAT: We will have a "pot-luck" Festivus Dinner... the more YOU bring the more there will be to eat. We invite you to wow us with your interesting and delicious festive dishes so please bring some food to share!

DRINK: There will be a barrel of real ale from the Magpie Brewery (for which we usually have a pledge drive) and Kate's amazing Festivus Punch! You are also of course invited to bring a bottle of something along to share there will be plenty of non-intoxicating fayre on offer too!

AND BE JERRY: We may have live music from the Hackspace Time Band or Ukulele Orchestra (please do join in) or perhaps from Kate or Doc Littles collection of tunes as well as the traditional Festivus activities which include:

THE AIRING OF GRIEVANCES in which will be detailed how you have all disappointed the host over the year.

THE FEATS OF STRENGTH will be the tradition bout of NINJA though of course it'll only be over once the host has challenged one of the guests to wrestle.

We encourage you to come along to this party which is a tradition of ours in the Festive season. The Hackspace will be properly decorated with a bare aluminium pole (and nothing more). We'll have the arcade machines up and running as well as several games to play. Tools will strictly be off limits to revelers of course. Do bring friends and family along too.

In this presentation we demonstrate the installation of persistent firmware modifications into the EFI boot ROM of Apple's popular MacBooks. The bootkit can be easily installed by an evil-maid via the externally accessible Thunderbolt ports and can survive reinstallation of OSX as well as hard drive replacements. Once installed, it can prevent software attempts to remove it and could spread virally across air-gaps by infecting additional Thunderbolt devices.
