Vera Wilde, artist-in-residence at Hack42. Because Art & Science!
Hackerspace Hack42 is proudly hosting a new artist-in-residence. Dr. Vera K. Wilde (PhD PoliSci) is a (former) Harvard Kennedy School researcher. She is working on re-branding the Dark-Web to the EDTR-web, a place for Expressing, Dissenting, Teaching and Resisting.
The EDTR-web is using technologies like TOR and encrypted communications tools to create a place of freedom where centralised power cannot reach.
Vera will be using arts (oil painting and songwriting) as well as writing and political science methods to define and develop the EDTR-web as a social space and technological phenomenon.
This is our second photo-shoot together. We have great chemistry and it's loads of fun to shoot with her.
We got to play with a few props, listen to some music and experiment with light and posing.
Visit to base48 hackerspace in Brno after the first day of Maker Faire Brno. I went to Brno, Czech Republic for 4 days to give 4 workshops at Maker Faire Brno -- two workshops for teaching teachers, and two workshops for anyone at the Faire.

Problem: Your hackerspace is regularly flooded with TP-LINK 100-240v mains electricity to 5v USB chargers, but the AC power plug is of the North American NEMA type instead of the European Schuko/CEE-7 type. What to do?
Answer: Why not combine some into a huge array of chargers?
MacSimski's idea was to use a couple of filler metal welding rods and to solder the adapters onto that base. The rods can be used as a mains plug.
The result is the "Hack42 FestivalCharger": a 5v 10A powerbar which can simultaneously supply up to 33 devices with power (unless it trips the 16A breaker).
The welding rods are shielded with a PVC tube, which is capped with polymorph (protoplast).
The tube is further secured to the rods with a few sticks of hot glue, liberally applied in a few strategic locations.

At Hackerspace Hack42, Lurwah hosted his workshop on how to brew kombucha.
He brewed a 25 litre vat of kombucha a week in advance with which we could experiment and harvest the SCOBY for our own batches.
We proceeded brewing a mixture of black tea and green tea, receiving instructions, hints and tips along the way. While the tea was cooling down and infusing, we were bottling the ready-made kombucha, added a bit of starter kombucha from the vat into our own jars, we added the sugars, tea and placed a part of the SCOBY on top of the mixtures.
It'll be ready for further processing and/or consumption in one week.
