Tweeting Vending Machine Shames You

"James from HR has just bought a candy bar."

Over at U.K. hackerspace Nottinghack, they've got a wired vending machine that tweets when someone buys a snack.

Users tap an RFID card and the machine was programmed to start telling everyone what someone had purchased.  Of course, no one really wanted to share their candy-buying habits so the machine was eventually shut down.

HSNOTTS (Hackerspace Notts) is an awesome new space in Nottingham, cooked up by a whole bunch of makers, tinkers and artists. Hackerspaces are a growing international network of not-for-profit community owned workshops and co-working spaces to make or do almost anything.  Nottingham officially boasts the largest hackerspace in the UK.  Founding members will be talking about how it got started, how to become a member and showing off some of the great projects currently being made there.

Dealmaker, one of Nottingham's freshest independent record labels in collaboration with Soul Prolapse will be showing snippets of their latest project.  The Order To Come - A film by Johnny Crump & Shaun Pubis Trailer dedicated to showing how the art of cut ' n ' paste and remediation is the order of things to come.  Dealmaker will be showing a sneak peaks from this blast of samples, sound and video and talking about how the project started.  Johnny Crump will be performing The Order To Come in real time on November 3rd at Nottingham Contemporary.

Cold Warrior is the latest short film from award-winning writer/director, Emily Greenwood, and is being produced by Wellington Films (producers of the BAFTA-nominated LONDON TO BRIGHTON).  They are going to launching their crowd-funding campaign to complete the final stages of production.  Support them by visiting their campaign page check out the trailer, and bag yourself some perks in the process. 

This film is inspired by allegations that came to light from a former President of the Olympic Committee, stating that, in the 1970s and '80s, some gymnasts were being put through a traumatic "abortion doping" procedure which would result in an undetected boost of strength.

Cold Warrior tells the fictional story of Ana, who finds herself in the middle of such a plot.
