05.28.09hard hack impressionsToday I had a small look on the hard hack event taking place the c.base here in Berlin. Lots of solder in the air, massive interesting, colourful and smart people around and lots of arduino breadboard fritzing midi rfid action. I could not stay so long and blaming it on weather and other activities I could not even take part in one of the workshops I wanted to. Respect to fbz and the crew for putting up that overall interesting workshop schedule and if anyone is getting curious now tomorrow will be workshops to. So visit hardhack.org and sign up!
