'''Noisebridge is up!''' We began building Noisebridge in February 2007. Since December 2007 we've had regular Tuesday meetings, and rented our first physical space as of October 1st 2008. We quickly outgrew our first space and have been at our much larger 5,200 square-foot second location since October 1st 2009. We are a [[Incorporation|tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization]] as of July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.

The merlin: vouch from merlin

My name is Tom Brown. During 2013 I've been doing more rafting and tree climbing, which has motivated some of my hacking. I've visited NoiseBridge to use the woodshop, sewing machines and meet friends to work on projects. Hopefully I'll organize another LED bike-light workshop soon. I write software for Google Maps. Thank you for keeping this place alive.

Hack nights to create your own set of bike lights! They are:
* Cheap - $10-15 suggested donation for parts
* Durable - water- and shock-resistant, and easily repaired at Noisebridge
* Un-stealable - mounted to the bike chassis, not desirable to bike thieves, nor easily removable
* Gorgeous - bright, custom-colored, custom-designed
* Easy - you may pick up a little soldering skill; the rest is your kindergarten class on glue guns and stickers

I'm currently looking for a good name for these... D.I.Lights? Tantalights? Help me pick something :)

Generally led by [https://noisebridge.net/wiki/User:The_merlin Merlin], but anybody is welcome to teach. Also, would love to have guest teachers for extra spiffy touches (bike-powered energy source, POV hacks, ...).
