Hey all, if you are near NYC, come join us in putting Pd on old PDAs and iPods:

October 14: Open source your mobile devices Untethered workshop Date: Tues., Oct. 14, 7PM Location: Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st St., NYC Cost: Free

Got an old iPod? Install iPodLinux on it and turn it into an 8-bit sequencer or touchscreen guitar. Or hook up an Arduino to your old wifi router and discover what's possible.

This workshop is based on the idea of making iPods, wifi routers and PDAs "generative", by changing their software to enable creative experimentation. Until recently, only very skilled hackers were able to "untether" their own devices. Thanks to the work of so many hackers, it's getting easier. Yes, there are still irksome technical details master, but that's what this workshop is for!

Eyebeam resident Hans-Christoph Steiner, together with Chris "the Widget" DiMauro will lead the workshop. They've been collecting a wide range of devices and hacking them with free software and now want to help you do the same.

Check the wiki to determine if your seemingly obsolete devices are supported, and if so, bring them along: http://dev.eyebeam.org/ projects/reware/wiki/Workshop
