24-Hour Comics Day Time-Lapse
We decided to record a time-lapse video during the 24-Hour Comics Day event, here are the results.
Music Jam Session Saturday, October 16, 2010
757 Labs will be having another amateur music jam session. We will hold it on Saturday, October 16, 2010. Plan to setup your gear around 5:00 PM EST, and spend the next hour or so messing around with MIDI, pushing buttons, tweaking configurations, etc. Then around 7:00 PM EST, we will get down to business.
Feel free to add comments to this post, to let us know who will be attending, and what gear you will be bringing. Hopefully, we will have some webcams setup to stream live video, or at least record some audio samples. Anyone interested in electronic music and related musical gear is welcome to attend, regardless of skill level.
24 hour comics day this weekend
Heads up everyone, 757 Labs is the only site in Virginia hosting a 24 hour comics day! See www.24hourcomicsday.com for more info on the event. Participants write 24 pages of comics in 24 hours. It starts Saturday at noon and runs until Sunday. Big thanks to Mike B. for putting this together, and Local Heros for a sponsorship of it!
Open lab night, Saturday. 4PM till whenever.
Lab opens at 4pm till whenever. Open hack night. Project discussion, work being done, perhaps board games. More details on the mailing list. Will echo to Facebook.
Fri Sept 10th, Open Lab Hack Night 8pm till
Another open lab night is happening Friday, starting at 8pm. Not sure which projects will be getting attention but it's fun as always (everyone is welcome to attend.) It should be open until midnight.
757.rb Learn to Program #1 a success!
On Sept 08th the 757.rb Ruby Meetup Group met at the lab for an introduction to Ruby programming. Attendance hit at least 23 people, and the presentation was good. Thanks to all for coming out, and thanks to Ken Collins for putting it together!
The next 757.rb meet up (in a month) will detail actually writing applications in Ruby.
Open Lab, Fri Sept 3rd after 9:15pm
Just a heads up, lab will be open (assuming it doesn't flood too bad) Friday September 3rd after 9:15pm. This is after the 2600 meeting that takes place in Virginia Beach.
Open hack night Friday night (Aug 27th), 8pm till…
I think I've got the energy to be at the lab and handle an open hack night from 8pm till whenever. So doors will be open! Maybe we will play a documentary or two, and mentally prepare for the high altitude balloon launch going down on Saturday. See you there!
Shopbot Camp @ Hines Design Labs
Heads up! There is something exciting coming up locally for those interested in CNC routing! Shopbot and Hines Design Labs are throwing an all day event. Presentations, demos, and some food. It will be on September 11th.
For more information check out the facebook event page. Want to see something cool Angus made with his? Puzzle piece parquet floor! Floor info here.
See you all at the event!
“Get Lamp” Screening, C64 and more
If you missed the "Get Lamp" Screening on Friday, you missed a good time.
The labs got in full swing around 9:30 and saw a lot of general conversation and general hacking.
Harold continues to push the 757 Labs in Space project forward, and Friday saw a lot of soldering, testing and the intermittent sounds of the life-support like de-soldering machine.
Vex brought in Commodore 64 with a couple of floppy drives which worked like a champ after he discovered a decidedly non-enduser mod to enabling them. We had a random assortment of software, including one title which you would have had to be a REALLY desperate man to ever play. Are those Mom jeans?
We had a few new people around which is always good to see and remember anyone is welcome to come and hang out.
Of course we screened the documentary Get Lamp: The Text Adventure Documentary which was a pretty interesting look into the early life of INFOCOM and the world of Interactive fiction.
Look for some pictures soon.
