Bastard Sons of Dial-Up

Foxx and a few other BSoD'ers have been working closely with the hackerspace out in NJ, FUBAR Labs and will be having a tech Expo and LAN party November 21st from 7PM -3AM. Some details here:

Some of the things that will be available

We will be bringing in a bunch of game consoles for the LAN party, and even partake in some NES RAM Hacking, and maybe even fire up the Wii to do some work with the USB Gecko. There will be a bunch of stuff thats already been showcased on BSoD regarding 2.4Ghz scanning. Modded wifi and bluetooth cards, antennas we have designed and built, video scanners, and much more. If weather permits we will be going out to do some field scanning to find out whats out there in the wireless wilderness of New Brunswick.

Besides Gaming, console hacking, and 2.4Ghz we will also have some ham radio topics there as well. If you are interested in Ham Radio in general there will be live demonstrations of the different forms of radio communications, like repeaters, Slow Scan TV, Radio Teletype, and perhaps even Radio BBS. If anyone is interested enough they can even hop on the air and chat with a few random people.

If you are interested in coming and need a ride, hit the BSoD Forums and let us know if you need a lift, or can bring something to the shin-dig.

Normally I dont like to post here about such topics since they belong in Local Meetups on the forums, but seeing how there is a short amount of time to organize I feel this is the best way for an outreach.

I will be in Orlando Florida with family for X-Mas. If anyone is interested in meeting up for some general fun, post here: http://forums.bsodtv.org/index.php?showtopic=478 I plan on bringing some essential toys and gizmos. The hotel I am at has a pool, so I am hoping I can sneak people in for some fun in the pool. If you havent realized by now, I enjoy getting physical as much as I enjoy tech. Every free second I have I wll gaurentee I am in the pool going nuts diving and swimming, something I cant do here often in New York Shitty.

DarkIdent will be in my hometown of NYC. He is making quite a trip to visit. We have been arranging some time to meet up, hang out, and generally cause some trouble. If you are in the NYC/NJ area and want to hang out, let us know by posting here: http://forums.bsodtv.org/NYC-t474.html I am pretty sure at some point Ugster and Mustang will crash at my place, plus there are quite of local misfits. DarkForist, Reaper, KP, plus the NYC2600 group. If you have the chance you should try and squeeze in some fun time of techno-terror with us.

We always we encourage people to meet up and hang out with fellow BSoD'ers and strengthen the community bonds of BSoD. However remember episode 1, use common sense and always take precautions when meeting people from the internet! Mustang nor myself has to host a meetup. Find people in your area and start to arrange a time and place to hang out in the name of BSoD. C'mon people. get off our lazy ass and start getting social! ITS FUN!

I (we) will try to get some footage of the event(s), but to be honest we are there to have fun, not to blog and record our lives, but anyone that has been to a BSoD meetup can tell you... its an adventure. Non-stop hacking and hilarity of such an off key deranged demeanor.

We are going camping! Care to join us? You can find more information on IRC and the Forums
