3 Days of Hope

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:32:57 +0000

I will be spending July 16-18 at the Next Hope conference in NYC.

At the top of the todo list? 3 days of wall-to-wall talks by some of the worlds most recognized hackers, and digerati. Oh yeah, and 2 nights of blow-out concerts!

While I’m not spraying video on the walls of the Video Temple, I’ll most likely be found demoing kits and giving impromptu workshops in the Hacker Village’s rendition of Philly’s Hacktory.

Way too much info at the Hope website, so I’ll leave you to them…

8Static’s Sweet 16 : April 10th

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 14:04:45 +0000

Yes, Its true! 16!

–ok, 16 shows, not years… but we’ll celebrate anyway.

I’ll be doing live video at the April 10th 8Static with music by

Mark Denardo, Oxygenstar, and Philly’s own Animal Style for our 16th show, with an extra 8 bits that we don’t normally use…( hmmm 16bit music and video??? sounds like DOS — Doom hacks! )

Stephen Whittam a.k.a. Inspired Chaos will also be there to give us a rundown on our kin who work in the demoscene — that age old tradition of strutting your stuff by coding the rest of the world into a corner.

If you haven’t checked out the new Bass cabinets and projector at 8Static… this will be the time to see it.

8Static Kickstarter well on its way!

The crew here in Philly has gotten together to try to raise some money for desperately needed equipment replacement at the monthly 8Static Chiptune event here in Philadelphia! To date, ALL of the equipment we use has been donated in-kind, but we are managing to kill some of it with the beauty of squarewaves!

This kickstarter campaign (already at 70% of our funding level) will help us replace a burned-out bass Amp (thanks to Animal Style for loaning it), and more recently the loss of our VJ projector (once working for and always loaned to us by No-Carrier).

We are currently less than $600 away from replacing both! I’ve donated a Pocket VBLANK board to the cause, which will go to a project backer who donates in the $500 range. Thanks to all that help!
