What we're about
Our definition of a "hacker" is someone who likes to know how things work, someone who likes to take stuff apart and make it into something new, someone who likes to tweak, tinker, fiddle and mess around. This is not just for technologists--we want everyone from life hackers, artists, and circuit benders to political strategists and civic engineers. We want all hats of hacker: white-, grey-, black-, and pink-hat. What's a pink-hat hacker? You'll have to come to find out. We get together once a week with pizza and beverages, work on projects, hang out, and engage in tomfoolery. There are no rules--just bring your project, ideas, and stories of hacking the world.

Upcoming events (4+)
Each week we have a focus theme in hopes of generating more collisions between people with a particular interest. The 2nd Tuesday is Game Hack Night - developing video games, mobile games, new tabletop games, hacking old tabletop games, modding old-school game consoles, remixing game midi tracks, whatever! As usual, this is open format - there is no official program - the night is what you make of it. All forms of game hackery and experience levels welcome!
Love,
Sam

If you're learning anything, come show it off! If you're learning programming, and you'd like to talk to others who are too, this is your night. The usual assortment of hackers, both new and old, will also be there.

The forth Tuesday of month is now Robot Hack Night targeting folks interested in DIY robotics, e.g. lego mindstorms, arduino, nodebots, homemade exoskeletons, etc. Everyone loves to see demos, so please bring your works in progress regardless of just how spaz-tastic your bot is. Our goal is to culminate the year with a local Hebocon - The Robot Contest for Dummies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ivFpsmEVQ
Best,
Sam
