The Transistor created a computer controlled zombie shoot-em-up based on Shaun of the Dead.
They won’t stay dead!

This is the final episode before we find out who won the hackerspace competition!
I’m here in Carbondale, Illinois with Joe Deken of New Blankets and Theron Trowbridge of Crashspace to spread the word about all sorts of hacking. Our host Gi Vania is a ham and he even has an official Illinois ham license plate!
Artisan’s Asylum, our competitor to the north (Boston), has entered the race with pancakes and eggs!

This is your friendly introductory class to soldering and micro-controllers. In this three-hour class we will:
When you leave, you’ll have a micro-controller, a mini-USB cable, a power supply and a few programs to play with.
The class will be taught by NYC Resistor members Jon Santiago & Kellbot.
Please bring a laptop with the Arduino environment on it. It’s available at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.
At Eyebeam, they have a clever hack to help with this problem. Its a box that is also hooked up the filter/blower where you can put your freshly cut pieces until they stop fuming away.
libpd has reached a 0.1 release, enabling developers to use Pd as a sound engine in their applications. Out of the gate, we have extensive code samples for Android 1.5 and later, plus the basic tools to work on iOS (recent armv7 recommended for now, with other devices soon). In the near future, embedding Pd patches inside tools like Processing/Java, OpenFrameworks/C++, and Python should be just as easy. The library is based on Pd vanilla, so this is not a fork of Pd; you can use patches in it just as you would in any other version.
Developers will find the library, code snippets (for Android; iOS is coming), and even some handy abstractions:

End users with Android phones or tablets can try out packages now:

… in addition to patches from Chris detailed in the CDM post above.
libpd available is thanks to the work of Peter Brinkmann, with testing, further development, documentation, and other contributions from the RjDj team (who are now adopting it in their future development work), Hans-Christoph Steiner, Chris McCormick (who has also added the ability to make HTML5 web interfaces), and Peter Kirn, along with members of the NYC Patching Circle at NYC Resistor.
Crash Space is one of the 5 participating hackerspaces in the VIMBY/Scion hackerspace competition: Take on the Machine. Watch as they build a Close Encounter Music Machine.

Eyebeam is organizing an interesting event to get hackers and journalists together to hack:
“Join Eyebeam Art + Technology Center & Hacks/Hackers NYC on Nov. 6 & 7 for The Great Urban Hack, a two-day, overnight, open-source hackathon that celebrates the city.”
