Lightning Talks at Rochester Hackerspace

Last night marked the Rochester Hackerspace’s first lightning talk event where we invited members and friends to come and present on a subject of their choosing that is less than 5 minutes long.  The subjects reflected the diverse backgrounds of its members; making pcb boards, bump keys, book binding, boxes, wii bluetooth, and machine guns! We had almost 30 people crammed into our temporary hackerspace sitting on anything we could find.  Thanks to everyone that made it out and especially those that took the time to put a talk together.

UPDATE: RemyD was cool enough to offer his point of view on a first experience visit to Rochester’s Hackerspace and interview a few of us to help spread the word.  Check out RIT’s Innovation Center website for the article.

Interlock Visits Familab

Tonight, I was able to meetup with some of the members of Familab at their new hackerspace in Orlando, Florida. They’ve started the same time as Interlock and have been working hard to startup a cool community of hackers. The space is filleed with fun toys including a server room, maker bot, media room, and drum machine.



Thanks to everyone that showed me around. We left them with a gift of a hand made custom first edition Interlock Rochester Rubik’s Cube.

First Meeting With A Home

This week was the first time we were able to visit the new home of Interlock at 1115 E. Main St, Rochester.  This is a temporary setup until the final space across the hall is finished in February but it’s still home.

Thanks to everyone that was able to come and those of us that were able to bring stuff to make it less empty.
