5MoF made CNET!
We woke up this morning to an article on CNET about Noisebridge and was excited to see the first paragraphs mentioning 5MoF!
From the article:
SAN FRANCISCO–About 30 people listened intently on a recent Thursday night to short presentations on linear algebra and beer brewing, watched a demo of an iPhone cyberspace shooter game, and learned how to make a light staff (acrylic rod, LED, resistor, tape, no soldering required).
For the last talk, a speaker billed as “Dr. Baron Mikheil von Burstein, esq.” explained how to pull off his interactive public art specialty–swings that hang in the aisles on the underground trains in the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system.
“I installed it publicly, illegally and got away with it,” he boasted. He had materials with him to hang four swings, he said, adding “Let’s install a swing right now on BART!” (5MoF: more info about that here: http://www.audreypenven.net/2009/11/bart-swings/)
At least half the crowd followed him, officially ending Five Minutes of Fame, an event held the third Thursday of every month at the Noisebridge Hacker Space.
December 2009 CFP
The December 5MoF will be on December 17, 2009.
Stay tuned for the schedule.
