Hack Club NY = total success (LEGO Mindstorms now en route to Jamaica)
- JacobAldridge 16y agoBrilliant guys, and great to see it was a success. I'll be at the London one (hint hint), though more for the coffee, marshmallows, and fun times than the technical side of things. Breadpig is now my number one example for a growing company with a true cultural purpose.
- kn0thing 16y agoThanks, Jacob! We're hoping to branch out into all aspects of "hacking." Christina had some great ideas involving grub - we've got enough of a network here in NYC to bring in some awesome people (we had a pair of LEGO execs come in from Denmark for this one) but we're hurting across the pond. We're very interested in opening up the model (TEDx style) and will be publishing our "here's how we haphazardly put this together" tutorial in the next couple of weeks. Please drop all@breadpig.com a note if you're interested in hosting one of your own.
- iqster 16y agoSo what the heck was the solution to the puzzle? Word files = evil.
- Sidnicious 16y agoIt was all in the formatting. Strip away the whitespace, and you're left with a bunch of text in one of two sizes. Treat the 10pt characters as zeroes, and the 11-point characters as ones, and decode that as ASCII. P.S. These guys put on an absolutely awesome event.
- kn0thing 16y agoThank you :) May it be the first of many. It seriously couldn't have happened if not for all our awesome volunteers and all of you who showed up and hacked for 12 LEGOtastic hours straight on a Friday night in NY.
- iqster 16y agoYeah ... I really wanted to come. But clearly I'm not l33t enough :(
- kn0thing 16y agoSorry! We didn't want to alienate folks, just keep out non-contributors. This was our first one, so we're very much a work-in-progress -- thanks for letting us know. We'll try to open things up more for the next one as long as we can keep out the scenesters...
- acconrad 16y agoYou should talk to PlayWorks about collaborating efforts and make this widespread quickly.
