2600: The Hacker Quarterly

2600 ANNOUNCES HOLIDAY STIMULUS PACKAGE

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:34:31 -0500

Back at the closing ceremonies of The Last HOPE in July, we made mention of the fact that the Hotel Pennsylvania (home of our conferences) likely wouldn't be torn down anytime soon because of the failing economy (yes, we knew it was failing way back then). We encouraged people to help save the hotel by continuing to push the economy on a downward slide. The response to that request, as everyone now knows, has been simply phenomenal.

DVDS FROM THE LAST HOPE NOW AVAILABLE

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 04:50:09 -0500

We now have over 100 DVDs from The Last HOPE available at our online store. This massive amount of material covers all three tracks from last summer's conference and is by far the biggest amount of DVDs we've ever had to deal with. If you missed the conference, or if you somehow weren't able to attend 100 talks in 3 days, then this collection most definitely has something you'd be interested in. We've come up with special packages so you can save based on how many you get. Visit The Last HOPE DVD section here.

WUSB NOMINATED FOR MTV-U AWARD

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:38:03 -0400

We're happy to announce that WUSB, the flagship station for "Off The Wall" has been nominated as one of the best college radio stations in the United States by the folks at mtvU. WUSB has been instrumental over the years in encouraging diverse and controversial radio programs of all sorts. In addition to the currently aired "Off The Wall," the station was the home of the famous call-in program "Brain Damage," a show that led to the formation of WBAI's "Off The Hook." While WUSB has thus achieved quite a following in the hacker/technology community, there are so many other places where WUSB has had an impact. It was the first radio station in the United States to have a regularly aired reggae program and currently broadcasts music of all genres throughout the course of a typical week. Stations like WUSB are essential in exposing new artists and introducing the world to their music.

The voting for best station is open to anyone at http://woodies.mtvu.com/nominees/college_radio.

We will also have DVDs available on the 2600 store in the very near future.
