This is the roof of the main analysts' building, which once hosted a myriad of computers and other technological equipment to assist with the filtering of radio signals. Positioned behind this area was the British section of Teufelsberg.
The spy station was part of the global Echelon intelligence gathering network created to monitor the military and diplomatic communications of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc allies during the Cold War. It was located in the British Sector, but the Brits and Americans didn't trust each other. So they split up the area in two, built everything twice and double-eavesdropped on their enemies.
A recent trend among urban graffiti artists has been the creation of images which can be identified from satellite and aerial imagery firms such as Google Earth. Here, you can even see a painted "QR Code" which will take you to an informational website if you scan it with a mobile phone.
A set of stencils containing QR messages which, covertly marked in urban spaces, may be used to warn people about danger or clue them into good situations.
These stencils can be understood as situated infoviz for urban spaces — providing directions, information, and warnings to digital nomads and other indigenterati. We present these as modern equivalents of the chalk-based "hobo signs" developed by 19th century vagabonds and migratory workers to cope with the difficulty of nomadic life. Indeed, our set of QR stencils port a number of classic hobo annotations to the QR format ("turn right here", "dangerous dog", "food for work") as well as some new ones, with a nod to warchalking, that are specific to contemporary conditions ("insecure wifi", "hidden cameras", "vegans beware").

Signs promoting the Burren Code in English, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish and German. Apparently visitors to the Burren tend to break pieces of the limestone pavement to make little cairns. I've no idea why. In the background you can see two of the Aran Islands in the distance.
Here's a link to the Burren Code online:

The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

for 7DoS: the barcodes in supermarkets aren't just used to keep control of stock and prices anymore, I use them to buy my shopping ... so sneaking a photo is pretty easy, as I have it in my hand zapping barcodes along the way.
It's a shame my supermarket hasn't quite mastered the technology regarding stock control, as the empty shelf was were the eggs I wanted, should have been :(
Protesting against the use of drones and the use of torture, these are members of Code Pink, photographed on January 12, 2013, at a demonstration outside one of the entrances to the headquarters of the CIA, in McLean, Virginia. On the left is Lachelle Roddy, and on the right is Nancy Mancias, the coordinator for Code Pink's War Criminals and Ground the Drones campaigns. The event also involved Episcopal Peace Fellowship DC, Northern Virginians for Peace & Justice, Pax Christi and World Can’t Wait, and activists from the group Witness Against Torture, protesting about the ongoing existence of Guantánamo, the day after the 11th anniversary of the prison's opening.

Vodafone has announced plans to provide coding training to 1,000 teenage girls across 26 countries in what is the world’s furthest-reaching in-person global coding programme of its kind. The commitment was announced in advance of @WomenScienceDay. Vodafone is partnering with @CodeFirstGirls to address widening gender gap in STEM.
For many years, women and girls have played an important role in science and technology. Without the work of technology pioneers like Hedy Lamarr and Barbara Liskov, we would not have Wi-Fi and email as we know it. But despite this, women and girls are still grossly under-represented in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) education and careers. Only 35% of girls enter further education in STEM subjects, and many have little encouragement to equip themselves with the skills to thrive in these industries.
Vodafone wants to help change this. In a partnership with social enterprise Code First: Girls, Vodafone’s #CodeLikeAGirl programme will provide five-day, coding workshops for girls, ages 14-18, across its geographical footprint in Europe, India, the Middle East, South Africa and Australasia. In 2017, 500 girls across Vodafone’s 26 markets were taught to code as part of the Vodafone and Code First: Girls partnership. This year, 1,000 teenage girls will benefit from the programme.
I thought Source Code was a pretty slick thriller and decided to attempt a version of the poster.
I went with more of a minimalistic teaser version of the poster so as to try and draw the viewer in.

The card is shaped differently so that a blind user can feel the text braille instructions, a low vision user can read the important information in high contrast & because of the bump, blind users can use the QR codes to know which corner of the card to scan. Notice the ridge around the QR code in the bottom right. It's brilliant! The second side is in small text.

Meet Johno, not the sort of guy you introduce to your daughter or to your wife for that matter.
The 'Bloke Code' focuses on a group of friends, 5 guys aged 29 to 34, all with varying lives, some married or settled, and some not so settled. We meet the guys in a bar, Johno is recanting another of his escapades, the one where her husband comes home early.#theblokecode
Coming soon to a festival near you.
