(SF) Discuss life with chronic pain, illness, invisible disabilities, & anxiety

Thu, Apr 30, 12:30 AM

**About us:** The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group is a friendly, unstructured, in-person peer support group for anybody 18+ who lives with chronic pain, illness(es), invisible disabilities, or any type of mental health experiences. The group is a casual safe space to hang out, talk about our lives, share coping strategies, form friendships, create community, and get support. The group is part of [Better Because Collective](https://betterbecausecollective.org/), a mental health nonprofit that supports people as they navigate difficult life experiences. We also offer an online platform where people can [share their stories](https://betterbecausecollective.org/stories/) of growth and healing. Our goal is simple: to offer connection, kindness, and hope. **Location:** 54 Iris Avenue, San Francisco, California 94118 Look for a blue residential building with silver banding and palm trees in the front with an open garage door. In the garage, a bunch of folding chairs will be set up in a circle with people sitting together and socializing. **Accessibility Info:** * The meeting space is in a private residential garage that is wheelchair accessible. * There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms a block away at Starbucks and Peet's. * The garage is scent-free. * The garage is not low-light, so bring sunglasses if you need them. * There is street parking on the same block and a free-of-charge parking lot a block away. * The meeting space is nestled between the #1 MUNI and the 38 MUNI. \*\*\*Please refrain from wearing anything scented, including lotion, dry-cleaned clothes, etc. This is to ensure that the group is safe for people with chemical sensitivities.\*\*\* **COVID Safety:** * The garage door is left open for ventilation. * Masking is optional at this time. * Wear warm clothes and bring a throw blanket since the garage door remains open for ventilation/COVID safety.

The Happy Little Arduino Spin Machine (CHM)

Tue, May 5, 2:00 AM

From San Mateo Zumba & Strong Nation Meetup Group

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build your own **motor-powered spin art machine** using an Arduino—no experience required. At the heart of it all is a **DC motor**—your tiny but powerful artist. You’ll wire it up, control its speed, and watch as simple code transforms motion into mesmerizing patterns. Turn a knob, tweak the speed, and see how different rotations create completely unique designs. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about **controlled chaos**. A drop of paint, a burst of speed, and suddenly you’ve got something surprisingly beautiful. By the end, you’ll: * Understand the basics of controlling a motor with Arduino * Adjust speed in real time to shape your art * Create your own one-of-a-kind spin paintings * Walk away thinking, *“Okay… I can actually do electronics.”* Expect a little mess, a lot of laughs, and a machine that turns code into creativity. **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

Builder Meetup: Goose, Block's AI Agent

Fri, Apr 24, 1:00 AM

From Bay Area Bitcoiners

4.9

Builder is a monthly AI meetup at Presidio Bitcoin for people who like to build. This edition features two members from [Goose](https://goose-docs.ai/?utm_source=luma), Block's open-source AI agent. Mic Neale will open the evening with [Mesh-LLM](https://x.com/jack/status/2039736688457507251?utm_source=luma), a new peer-to-peer network that lets people pool spare compute to run open-model LLMs, making them more accessible for agents, chat, and other AI applications. He'll cover how a public, mainnet-style mesh works, how to set up smaller "friends and family" versions across different machines, and how AI workloads get distributed. He'll also dig into the inner workings of LLMs and why distributing them makes better use of available compute. Douwe Osinga will then walk through goose-perception, an experiment that lets Goose observe what's happening on your computer and keep a personal wiki up to date so it (or any agent) can understand you. By default, it tracks a todo list, the people you interact with, and your projects, but the prompt is fully configurable to fit your workflow. The evening will start with pizza and mingling from 6:00 to 6:30 pm, followed by discussion from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Expect plenty of room for Q&A, audience participation, and interactive discussion throughout. Easy, free parking is available right by the office. Hope to see you there!

🔌 Circuit Hacking Open Lab

Tue, Apr 28, 2:00 AM

From Bay Area Chatbot, Voice Assistants, and Conversational AI

Bring your own electronics project—or just bring yourself. This is a hands-on, low-pressure space to build, experiment, and get unstuck. Whether you're working with Arduino, ESP32, or just getting started, you'll have access to components, starter projects, and help when you need it. No experience? No problem. We’ll have simple guided builds to get you going. Come tinker, learn something new, and leave with a working project (or at least a good idea). **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Sun, Apr 26, 9:00 PM

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.
