Artists love to say their music has a message, but what happens when that message is “the Singularity is Near”? Musician Daniel Finfer creates albums that explore the concepts and consequences of accelerating technology while still possessing enough pop-music chops to make them accessible. Five years ago, he was struck by how few mainstream pop songs had a meaningful message, especially those that explored themes like the Singularity and accelerating technologies. Currently preparing for shows in the Los Angeles area to promote the recently released EP (produced by Daniel Anderson of Glowbug, Idiot Pilot, Hyro Da Hero), Ancient Lasers features a new live band.

College of Lockpicking
Bio:
College of Lockpicking is a travelling workshop, bringing the love of locksport to hackerspaces, community workshops and other educational places. We like to think that opening up locks without keys unlocks the world in more ways than one. :) The way a Lockpicking Village is usually done is that we have a table or two set up with some lockpicks and locks for people to practice on. Participants can bring their own locks and lockpicks to share in the fun if they want to as well. The Lockpicking Village is more like a social gathering for lockpicking than like a workshop.
We also have lockpicks available for sale, and hand-pinned practice locks, and possibly other related stuff too. Besides allowing participants to take their new hobby home with them, the sales will help us recoup the cost of the locks and lockpicks which are bound to wander off during a Lockpicking Village (We know we're not getting the shared lockpicks back intact, if at all, and will probably lose some locks too. We expect that to cost us about $500).
Classes/Activities: Depending on whether we can gather additional resources like a projector/display setup, we can also give mini-lessons multiple times throughout the event, like 15 minutes at the top of every hour or two, and/or we could have some small competitions.

About Lynx
The Lynx is XCOR’s entry into the commercial reusable launch vehicle (RLV) market. This two-seat, piloted space transport vehicle will take humans and payloads on a half-hour suborbital flight to 100 km (330,000 feet) and then return safely to a landing at the takeoff runway.
Like an aircraft, Lynx is a horizontal takeoff and horizontal landing vehicle, but instead of a jet or piston engine, Lynx uses its own fully reusable rocket propulsion system to depart a runway and return safely. This approach is unique compared to most other RLVs in development, such as conventional vertical rocket launches and air-launched winged rocket vehicles “dropped” at altitude from a jet powered mothership.
You!
