otherwise_nyc just came back from delivering a delightful talk on guerilla knitting at the 2007 Chaos Communications Congress in Berlin. You might think that knitting has nothing to do with hacking, but you'd be wrong -- for one thing, guerilla knitters and hackers share a similar anarchic, joyful spirit, as evidenced by this excellent tank cozy (with a pompom, because it just wouldn't be right without it) and these mittens on a statue of Vladimir Lenin.
The CCC made a video of the talk available under a Creative Commons license, so I've posted a copy on MegaUpload for anyone who'd like to watch it. It's in MKV format, so you'll probably need VLC to watch it. (Though something tells me many of the people on my flist have VLC already ...)
