New York City 2600

If you were at least week’s meeting, you might have been given a charming orange card alerting you to the existence of Alpha One Labs, New York City’s newest up-and-running hackerspace.

Psytek and the rest of the crew behind Alpha One Labs have gotten things going in practically no time. They’ve already got a physical space in Williamsburg, open meetings, open membership, and the first of their public classes will be happening soon. You can also follow Alpha One Labs on Twitter.
