Mr. Fusion
We headed to Orchard Street on the island last night, planning to check out the Gizmodo Gallery. It was late when we got there and the gates were down. We were just about resigned to pressing our noses to the…

Electricity .01 – Introduction to Electricity
Voltage, amperage, current, ohms. It’s enough to make your head spin if you’re just getting started making things with electricity. Electricity .01 will give you a handle on the big three of direct current and how to trade them off.…

Another Tuesday Night meeting, just after bloody MAKE:NYC gore and just before the phooky phenom on twitter.
Lemon Battery, Now With Real Lemons
I had enough with all this making-lemonade-from-lemons chatter and instead just made some light. It’s so freaking easy (provided you remember to grab the wire strippers before you head to the kitchen). Copper and zinc etching plates are probably $7…
Noisebridge – Our Neighbors on the Other Coast
As if to throw the gauntlet down before our friends to the north, the San Francisco Hacker Space Noisebridge signed their lease today. Take that Canadia! Their new space is ground level (something we had once hoped for here in…
Clean Well-lighted Optivisor
Bill picked up an optivisor for the space, and attached an LED lighting enhancement. My SMT sequin work just got a googolplex times easier. Picture of the optivisor in action after the jump
Hello World, The Old Fashioned Way
Adam goes old school and teaches C to the masses. C, child of B, influences almost all modern procedural languages. I like to believe it’s also the basis of the recent burst of semicolon tattoos. Everything is made clear by…
This is Just to Say
At NYCResistor we learn, share and make things. Sometimes it’s necessary to let another Resistor know just how generous they have been. If you had been there I would have asked first. Honest. from Max to Bre Pettis subject I…
