    DIYBio Microbial Fuel Cells

    BrainSilo

    Take a look at the link for more details - feel free to come and see what were doing. We'll probably have a short General DIYBio meeting before and then make the cells. Sadly we probably only have enough materials for our meetup group, but anyone is more than welcome to come.

    Also, were looking for a way to stream data from the cells online such as voltage generated and CO2 levels. If anyone has any interest in lending a hand that would be awesome!

    e-Textile and Wearable Electronics Workshop

    BrainSilo

    "If you’re interested in soft circuits and wearable electronics, I’ve got great news. ...I’ll be kicking off a new series of bi-weekly eTextile open worksessions at BrainSilo.

    This isn’t a structured class or workshop, more of a regular time to get together and talk eTextiles, work on projects, learn new skills, etc. I’ll be bringing at least one current project that I’m working on, as well as lots of resources, and I’ll have some basic kits available for sale for anyone just getting started."

    Exploit Workshop

    BrainSilo

    The exploit workshop happens every Wednesday night at 7pm in the BrainSilo hackerspace in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the exploit workshop is to provide an encouraging environment to hang out and improve your skills at writing exploits. Ideally we will be looking at the exploitability of bugs in osvdb that mention that an exploit is commercially available or rumored, but is not publicly available. Challenges are being created every week to encourage looking at some existing exploit code, as well as fully understanding and automating the deployment of an exploit on live systems.
