Visiting Noisebridge space in San Francisco
I’m sitting in a fantastic new hacker space in San Francisco, California. It’s called Noisebridge. This is a space for computer programmers, hardware hackers, artists and others. The space is on the third floor of a non descript building in the colorful Mission District. It’s on the top floor, and there are skylights, so it’s bright and airy.
There are large windows at both ends of the building, and the space fills the entire top floor, so there is a comfortable breeze, even though it’s a warm day in the City.
There are about a dozen people here working hard to prepare for the first year anniversary party to celebrate the formation of Noisebridge, scheduled for tomorrow evening.
There is stuff everywhere: machine tools, computers, oscilloscopes, books, kitchen appliances, workbenches, couches, bikes and lumber. This is an ambitious project, and the people I’ve met so far are friendly and interesting.
I’m going to come to the party tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to many more visits to Noisebridge.
