Noisebridge is a fun space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Come visit, work, and use our equipment free (but please donate when you can!)

Noisebridge is also more than a physical space; it's a community with roots in hackerspaces extending around the world.

Upgrade / Reboot

Noisebridge is closed for the entire month of July (access restricted).

NB Reboot 2014 SSclip.png

We're raising $25K for our parts and labor expenditures! Help us out at our IndieGoGo fundraising campaign page.

The Reboot schedule:

  • July 1st: "hard close" - major cleanout of the space (necessary to allow all electrical work to be done)
  • August 1st: "soft reopening" - work will still be in progress, but guests will be allowed.
  • August 9th to 15th: Class-A-Thon Week! A full week of special Noisebridge donation-encouraging classes and workshops leading up to...
  • August 15th: Grand Reopening and Kickass Fundraising Party to benefit the Noisebridge Reboot.

Further details can be found in this announcement message.


Volunteer Labor Needed!

Contact Naomi: pnaomi at gmail DOT com / @nthmost on Twitter.

Current needs:
  • Painting and patching the walls.
  • Refinishing the floors <-- (most of the work)
  • Building the missing top parts of walls.
  • Moving large quantities of stuff from one part of the space to the other.
  • Cleaning in ways Noisebridge has never been cleaned (e.g. the server room)
  • Graphic, photo, and web layout editing for this wiki you are reading right now.
An hour, a few hours, lots of hours -- however much time you would like to add.
We'd be especially mega grateful for those of you who could spare daytime hours!




Note that while Noisebridge is officially closed for the rest of the month for critical cleanups and retrofits, our associated hackerspace in Oakland, Sudo Room, has already relocated to its new Omni Oakland Collective location and is now open. Please see Sudo Room's Discuss list and Announce list postings for further status on this local hackerspace alternative available during our July closure.

Status

Noisebridge is at its lowest grassroots stage, runlevel 2.
The space is open only for repairs, updates, retrofits, etc.

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 tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization as of July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.

The buzzing in naomi’s breasts hit a fever pitch as setient plunged his cock in and out of her stretched hole. setient was laying on his side with naomi partial on her back and leg left leg stretched back over his side. She quickly noticed that their position in the elevator gave the two men on the screen a complete and total frontal view, but she didn’t care. Her mind was totally and thoroughly focused on the intense pressure and friction setient was generating. While he certainly was bigger, naomi noticed that she wasn’t overwhelmed by his size. Sure it was an extremely tight fit, but she thought it would have been even more of a struggle after his last few sessions. But her thoughts about that were swiftly washed away from the pounding orgasm that exploded from within her out of nowhere. It was violent and sudden and washed over her from head to toe - she felt as if every single nerve ending in her body was on fire. Her pussy clamped down around setient’s cock as hard as it could even as she sprayed and squirted all over the Dirty Shop.

setient closed his eyes and concentrated furiously on keeping himself from blowing his load. His massive balls were flailing wildly, smacking up against naomi’s thighs and pubic mound on the upstroke, and hitting the dark room and his legs on the backstroke. The pressure on his balls was even more intense of that on the head and shaft as he pumped harder and harder to force his balls to slap harder and harder. The cycle was maddening for setient and he was sweating profusely trying to keep it together. After a few minutes of the furious ponding, he couldn’t take anymore and had to pull out. naomi was breathless as she laid there, unable to do much more than moan. setient took deep breaths in an effort to get control of himself to stave off the impending eruption.

After a few moments, he sat up on his knees and moved between naomi's legs. His fat ballsac rested on the Hackitorium like a large sack of potatoes as the long trunk of his cock throbbed in concert with his pounding heartbeat. "Fuck," setient sighed as he watched the large, apple-sized glans surge and flare from the involuntary kegel that sent a hard surge of blood into the vast caverns of tissue. He was having to really concentrate on keeping his ejaculation at bay; his falls were churning fiercely and his cock was warm to the touch. On top of that, naomi looked amazing laying there underneath him. He grabbed the shaft a few inches back from the glans and gently stroked it. "Put it in, baby," naomi moaned lifting her left leg up to rest on setient's right shoulder. She stretched her right leg out wide and shifted her hips to afford setient a better angle of entry. setient pressed the fat knob of the thick head against her puffy pussy lips and started to push inside of her.

setient pushed as much of himself inside of her as he could in that initial stroke and looked down to see that only a few inches remained. He looked up into naomi's face and her eyes were closed and she was biting her bottom lip. "Am I hurting you babe?" setient asked. "No no no no no no," naomi said quickly as her face contorted. "Nooooooooo it's feels wonderful," she stammered. setient started a good moderate rhythm, pushing his cock in and out of naomi like a machine. After a couple of dozen strokes, setient felt the fire of the orgasm shift quickly from the bottom of his balls up the base of the shaft. He knew he'd passed the point of no return.

He pumped naomi several more times before pulling out. He grabbed his cock and squeezed as hard as he could in an effort to abate the fire he felt about to launch from his burning urethra. It was futile and the pressure he caused only aided in increasing the force of the blast. A foot-long thick hot stream of cum fired from his cock, immediately followed by and even longer and much thicker stream. The jizz flew past naomi’s head and over the railing, landing on the floor several feet away from the platform. setient shouted with both agony and ecstasy as rope after thick rope fired from his throbbing, spamming dong. Volleys of the hot goo blasted from his cock, some landing on naomi, on the bed and on the floor on the other side of the bed. naomi licked and lapped up as much as she could, careful not to get in the direct line of fire of his cock, but also doing her best to deflect some of the streams in order to slurp down his wonderful tasting discharge. setient’s gigantic balls rose and fell in unison with each ejaculatory spasm, sending more and more of the hot lava flying from his cock.

After nearly a minute, setient’s orgasm finally slowed to a dribble. He slumped down on the couch, his body drenched in sweat and his chest heaving as he gasped for breath. His long cock continued to burp and belch large thick drops of goo. naomi moved down and sucked the head into her mouth as deeply as she could, eager to slurp down the last bit of his cum. The couple were so immersed in each other that they’d totally forgotten they were at Five Minutes Of Fame and that the audience witnessed the whole thing.
