Hackaday 10th Anniversary Events

Come celebrate Hackaday's 10th Anniversary with us! We're having a mini-conference and a party on October 4th, in what will be our new hackerspace in Pasadena. We'd love for you to come and celebrate it with us. For latest news of what we have in lined up for the day, follow our blog: http://hackaday.com/tag/10th-anniversary/ Mini Conference 1:30-5pm The afternoon will consist of a handful of speakers, intertwined with 7-minute hardware lightning talks. We'll be announcing a few more speakers in the days to come but here are a four to spark your interest:

• [Steve Collins] is an Attitude Control Engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He'll tell you he's: "been hacking various hardware and software stuff pretty much my whole life". [Steve's] talk will cover some hacks from his youth and how those skills directly translated into an epic, interplanetary career.

• [Quinn Dunki] presents Veronica, the 6502 computer she built from the processor on up. This fascinating project started with a breadboard and a lot of wire and has led to multiple home-etched PCBs to host everything from RAM to VGA.

• [Jon McPhalen]: "The Parallax Propeller: Embedded Multi-core Made Easy!". When not writing, shooting, or directing for film or television, [Jon] is busy publishing articles in Nuts and Volts magazine and being an all-around Parallax Propeller Guru. His talk will cover the virtues of multi-core embedded design when compared to interrupt-based approaches.

• [ThunderSqueak]: presents a talk on Non-Binary Computing. Having already managed an IT company and electronics shop where reverse engineering was par for the course, she has moved onto work on a degree in Electrical Engineering. Coursework isn't enough, she still has projects on the side, one of them being a Ternary Computer build which doesn't stop at ones and zeroes.

Party 7:30-11pm What's a birthday without a party? Ooooh... makes me wonder if we should be getting a cake? When the solder fumes have cleared and the speakers have all said their peace there's nothing left to do but enjoy some good music and the company of your fellow hackers while hanging onto a red plastic Solo cup filled with something delicious. This part of the day is open to hackers 21 years of age and older. Tickets TIckets are free, but space is limited.
