If you live in NJ or NYC and have some free time tonight, be sure to stop by the Etsy/MAKE/Create Digital Music Handmade Music Night event. It starts at 7PM and is being held at Etsy Labs in Brooklyn, NY. It’s easily accessible from the subway and yours truly will be attending and checking out some of the best DIY music around!

Handmade Music Night will include the following goods:
• Chiptune game-music
• Wireless sensor driven sound
• Wii balance board instrumentation
• Custom software for sound-mutation
• Experimental MIDI controllers of oddity

If you have a DIY instrument, be sure to bring it along with you. I’ll be digging through my old boxes and possibly dragging my beat up M-Audio Oxygen8 around, searching for that perfect mod that’ll let me create the sounds I want to hear.

Here’s the deets. Hope to see you there!

I get it. A connector necklace for men is a much nerdier equivalent of the traditional symbol for males. So where is the socket necklace for women? Available for $27. —Sean Fallon
