At 10AM on Saturday, February 9th, the Union of Benevolent Electrical Workers (UBEW will be co-hosting GeekSpeak, the local weekly tech radio show and podcast. We will be discussing our "radical tech agenda" amongst other things.
If you're unfamiliar with GeekSpeak, you should check them out. I listen to them most every week -- strangely, they come on the radio about the same time I'm usually starting my weekend soldering projects. So for me, it's great... I have a soldering iron in hand, listening to people on the radio talk about geeky subjects. If you're a pod-casting type, you can subscribe to their feed via the NPR Podcast Directory.
The Union of Benevolent Electrical Workers (aka UBEW) is a "radical collective of individuals doing socially beneficial things with technology who come together for mutual assistance." We're like a Dadaist users' group focused on things that help the local community. For instance, UBEW and the Santa Cruz Free Skool offer classes in tech-related subjects ranging from PHP & Java programming and cryptography to basic soldering.
There's also an outside chance we'll talk about the etymology of the term "Code Mollusk."
If you're in the Monterey Bay area, you can listen in on 88.5 KUSP or repeaters at 89.1 (Hollister/Gilroy), 89.3 (Downtown Santa Cruz), 91.3 (Palo Colorado Canyon) and 95.3 (Big Sur Valley.)
If you live somewhere else, you can listen on the web using the KUSP web player at http://www.kusp.org/listen-live.html .
Feel free to call in during the show and toss questions our way. 831.476.2800 or 800.655.5877
In short, we like to think we're doing good things for our community and we're going to be on KUSP 88.9 at 10AM next Saturday (February 9th, 2013).
