Max passed along some information about an electronics hacking group in the Central Florida area that I thought I’d share. FAMiLab is located in Altamonte Springs and has Microcontroller Mondays weekly @ 7:00 PM where they invite the community into the lab to learn and play with assorted electronics hardware and software. For those of you who remember Matt showing us his work on the Barduino, you’ve already gotten a glimpse as to how much fun this kind of stuff can be; check out Max’s latest endeavor as well for another cool example.

According to one of the guys running the show, they’re in the process of restructuring their website and such, but if you’d like to get in touch for more information (i.e. – the gate code to get in), you can email them @ familab.4am at gmail dot com or jump on their discuss mailing list @ http://familab.org/mailman/listinfo for some active conversation. If anyone decides to go, let the group know so people can possibly carpool into Orlando.

The early bird price (~$35) for registration to FlashCamp Orlando 2009 has been extended until May 15, 2009! Let’s face it, in this economy, every little bit helps. If you can spare a Friday out of the office, come out to support a local developer event sponsored by Adobe and Universal Mind.  Lunch, parking, door prizes, great sessions, and lots of great networking opportunities come with the registration price. The best part of it all is at the end of the day, you can drive home instead of staying in a dank motel like you do with most events. Tampa and Melbourne are still what I consider within driving distance, but you may still elect for the motel/hotel.

If you haven’t seen it yet, an interview has been posted with Adogo’s very own Jason Madsen about his session at FlashCamp. Hope you can make it out!

Just wanted to give everyone at RAnDOM a heads up, over at the Adogo we’re raffling off tickets to FlashCamp Orlando 2009.  You can find out more information @ http://adogo.us/2009/05/04/may-meeting-canceled-flashcamp-orlando-ticket-raffle/.  The deadline for entries is May 15th at 11:59 PM; one entry per individual please.  Good luck to everyone.  Hope you all can make it out!
