Awesome. February calendars haven't been printed yet. You can always check for freegan events in nyc here: http://freegan.info/?page=Events
Or, you could just come by. There are many freegan groups in NYC; the one I'm acquainted with is at 123 Tompkins in Brooklyn, which is near stops for the G or JMZ trains. We have bike workshops on Wednesdays after 6pm, or Saturdays 2pm--late.
Or, get it via Text Messages: text 'cheaphack' to 62582.
My philosophy
I ride a bike. I ride a bike because I enjoy it. I ride a bike because I don't like being in cars. I ride a bike because I like to experience my surroundings, not be separate from them. I ride a bike because it clears my head, and makes me stronger. I ride a bike because it makes my world bigger. I ride a bike because I believe we are in peak oil. I ride a bike because it gives me freedom.
I write software. I write software because I think it can be beautiful. I write software because I imagine myself in the machine. I write software because I always see something lacking in my computer. I write software because I have always written software. I write software as if I were writing poetry in mathematics.
I like computer science too. I like CS because I know the distinction between CS and writing software. I like CS because it is mathematics. I like CS because I like proving that LALR(1) languages are a subset of LR languages, that mergesort is optimal, or that the knapsack problem is the same as graph coloring. I like CS because I know how to use hamiltonian paths to prove my identity.
I do electronics. I do electronics because electronics is the fine art of approximation. I do electronics because sometimes you want to touch your software, and electronics makes it physical. I do electronics because it amuses people that I have a room full of tiny components in labeled drawers, and because chicks dig oscilloscopes. I do electronics to create the devices that the market can't make enough of a margin from.
I have a lot of tools. I have a lot of tools so that I'll always be prepared. I have a lot of tools, because without tools, I'm always stuck dreaming of inventions, instead of inventing. I have a lot of tools to turn my imagination into reality.
I am a computer geek, an electronics geek, a bike geek, a wannabe-machinist, and a building-stuff geek.
I will rant on occasion, and I'm not afraid of politics, but that should be the minority of this blog.
