To-Do This Weekend: Re-Make



Remember all those wonderful broken electronics ya'll donated to the Alameda County Computer Resource Center (ACCRC) last weekend? Well, this weekend, they're going to be resurrected. The ACCRC is holding a 24-hour event at which Makers will have access to all the piles of old equipment. The idea is to spend all night rebuilding, reworking, and redesigning 13-years worth of recycled electronics and computers.
The event is free, and will be held at the Upcoming event page.
This is a bring-your-own-tools and sleeping bags event. There will be quite a bit of old hardware to play with, and some of the larger tools, such as the lathe and grinders and the like are already there. Those not sure of what they can build could just show up to help James work on his hydrogen powered 1967 Lincoln. Or they could work on freeing the floppy laser from its case.
