WCPO pays us a visit: Inside a Local Hackerspace

The local news decided to pay us a visit and talk to jason. It’s a shame there wasn’t more real hacking in the video, but we can work on that. I think we need to have some folks act as ambassadors for the media, probably the same people who are supposed to be doing the PR… I Don’t think any one person has all the keys to all our social/web channels. Things to be improved upon.

I apologize in advance the for obnoxious local advertising on the lead-in to the actual video. Meh, my mind is not for sale or rent to any god or government.

If this interests you at all, you should definitely come visit us on a tuesday for our weekly meeting. 1930 hours sharp (7:30 PM for you normal people) at 2929 spring grove avenue. Did I mention there’s pizza?

I took the bold move when I was living downtown to ride my bike and/or public transport to get back and forth to work. It saved me time not having to find a parking space and I got some fantastic exercise riding around Cincinnati and felt great doing it. Then the derailer failed on my bike — I’d better to something about that.

The KOI Burners couldn’t have picked a better venue than the Mockbee for Carnivolution, a heady mix of sensual and exhilarating performance (including Dante’s Gypsy Circus) , outrageous costumes, classic midway games and fantastmagorical persons of all shapes and sizes. KOI (Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana) Burners, a local arts group and appendage of the larger Burning Man collective located a few blocks away from the Mockbee building at 2008 Freeman Avenue hand built carnival games and much more. The Burners slaved for weeks to perfect their costumes for the carnival and burnt the midnight oil polishing the experience of the Midway for Carnivolution. The C.M. Mockbee Building, the crumbling industrial former home of a hardware company, refuses the be relegated to abandonment like so many others of it’s kind. For Carnivolution it is reborn a third time as a venue for experiencing the fantastic.
