Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on
terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
Awesome!
By the way, big thanks to Alex, Paloma, Palmieri, Kiki, Cristiano, Guillerme and everyone at the convention for making it a blast! Brazil - forever in my heart....
Just sorting out a flickr account and digitising video - I'll post soon.

NYC Resistor has regular 'study groups' where people come to work on
the same topic, next Wednesday the topic is Arduino. Its an open
environment to come work on Arduino projects with others who are doing
the same time.
(basically its the same idea as the Arduino Hacklabs I've been
organizing, but perhaps a bit less formal).
This Study Group is part of a regular series of such events at NYC
Resistor, other topics have been Android, Blender, and Python. Check
the website for the upcoming schedule, or subscribe to the calendar:

Ok, maybe this is OT, but since we are going to Brazil for PdCon, I
figured it was kind of on-topic. Anyone figured out the Brazil Visa
situation? It looks like US Citizens need tourist visas, but most EU do
not. I have Austrian citizenship, so perhaps I should travel as an
Austrian for the first time ;)

I've been running fortnightly hack sessions at venues across
Birmingham, UK, for the last three months with the aim of gathering
enough people together to form our own hackerspace, similar to NYC
Resistor or Chaos Computer Club. So far the sessions have been very
casual affairs, with most people working on their laptops and with
breadboards or Arduino kits. I have a personal interest in getting
projects on the go using programs like p:d and processing, but I know
others will have a variety of projects!
If this sounds like your kinda thing check out www.fizzpop.org.uk and
come to our next meeting on Wednesday 13th !

This is were Marius, Widget, and I started working on the Reware
project, it can be a hard application process, but its a good place to
get work done.

> About the Residency
>
> Eyebeam residencies support the creative research, production and
> presentation of initiatives querying art, technology and culture.
> The residency is a period of concentration and immersion in artistic
> investigation, daring research or production of visionary,
> experimental applications and projects. Past initiatives have ranged
> from live animation, sound and physical computing works to technical
> prototypes, installations and tactical media events. Check out what
> our current and past residents have been doing here: http://eyebeam.org/people-residents/residents
> .
>
> The ideal resident will both contribute to and benefit from the
> collective environment at Eyebeam, and will embrace the spirit of
> openness shared across the organization: open source, open content
> and open distribution.
>
> To promote collaboration and the sharing of diverse skill sets,
> Eyebeam has established and continues to encourage the formation of
> research groups that bring together creative practitioners working
> at Eyebeam as well as expert external participants.
>
> New research often leads to public outcomes including seminars,
> workshops and exhibition. Research groups currently active at
> Eyebeam include:
>
> • Sustainability
> • Urban Research
> • Middle Eastern Research
> • Open Cultures
>
> Artists and creative technologists interested in these research
> areas are particularly encouraged to apply for 2009 residencies, but
> we are also open to accepting ideas for emerging areas of research.
>
> Eyebeam is also seeking proposals from artists whose practices:
> a) actively engage different community groups, especially youth;
> b) focus on open source/culture ideologies, including intellectual
> property, licensing issues and law; and/or
> c) investigate sustainable models of food production and consumption
> and the impact of those models on society.
>
> Residents are expected to participate in public events including
> workshops, demonstrations of research in progress, panel
> discussions, and online releases, in addition to regularly scheduled
> open studio events.
>
> The program term is from the beginning of August to the end of
> January. Residents will be selected from an open call, based on the
> quality of the work or research being proposed, the availability of
> the necessary tools and skills to support the work, and in
> consideration of the overarching research themes and activities of
> the organization.
>
> Eyebeam is committed to building a diverse creative environment. We
> recognize diversity as encompassing personal style, age, race,
> gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, language,
> physical ability, religion, family, citizenship status,
> socioeconomic circumstances, education and life experiences. We
> consequently encourage applications from the broadest possible range
> of artists and creative technologists to all of our programs.
