The Introduction to Soldering Class was a success! There were a lot of new faces in hack.rva for the class and we had a total of 20 participants. Everyone got to take home their soldering iron and their finished project, which was a flashing siren. Thank you to Luke for teaching the class and thank [...]
The rebooted HackRVA Noise Night will have its second meeting tomorrow night at the HackRVA space at 7:30. Bring your noise hardware and software projects both complete and in-progress for sharing, conversation, and loud action.

Be it knitting, quilting, cooking or making of any sort, a class can be made of it. We’d be interested in seeing new and interesting [...]
“Many hands light work makes.” Jim D. told me that. I’m too ignorant to know who he was quoting, but I reckon it’s true. It started at 0700 on Saturday, the 24th day of July, 2010. I was tasked with porting the hack.rva wiki from it’s current location to a new one with better access [...]
