We had a great time last year and recommend folks at Maker Faire Bay Area 2017 come to this Saturday night meetup hosted by Hackaday and Tindie:

The 4th Annual Hackaday x Tindie MFBA Meetup at O’Neill’s Irish Pub

34 South B Street, San Mateo, CA 94401

It’s Maker Faire Bay Area time of year again and we’re holding our 4th annual Hackaday and Tindie MFBA Meetup!

After a ridiculously fun Saturday at Maker Faire, carry on the festivities with us at O’Neill’s in San Mateo on Saturday night from 7pm.

Bring your finest blinky, flashy, IoT, hacks, wearables, or other techy items for us to paw. Bonus points if you bring your #HackadayPrize project for us to get super excited about.

We can’t wait to see you there or at the faire.

Space is limited, so get your foot in the door early. 21 or over only. Please bring ID.

RasmusB on Hackaday.io is resurrecting a Psion Series 5 PDA:

Psioπ

Bringing a Psion Series 5 into this decade by replacing all the important bits.

The completed result will (hopefully) be a portable modern Linux system with all the connectivity options expected in a modern device.

The keyboard adapter board is available on Tindie:

This is an USB interface for Psion series 5 PDA keyboards. Plug in a keyboard and a USB cable, and use it with any modern computer!
