Altruism, photo time machines and Dr Who

Hello Outriders!

This week on the podcast we learn about an amazing act of kindness, how to make a visual time machine and an upcoming event with electrifying sound.

The internet can reflect many facets of society - both good and bad. Sometimes though, you get to hear about something where strangers get together and change someone's life. Reddit, is a sort of social news forum where people can upload links or write news that they notice around them or online.

On Reddit, there are sub communities where people also get involved with topics that interest them. BackpackWayne on Reddit runs a sub community where people help others out. So here is he with a little more about himself and the story of helping out a family in Texas.

Let's move it along to another story of people working together, this time to make history! Grigory Rudko is from Moscow and he is making a photo time machine. It sounds cool, because it is cool and he told us all about why he is making it and what can be found there.

As you may know the original Dr Who theme tune was created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. If I had a TARDIS I would love to visit that time of innovation in sound. But today there are still innovators who are the Outriders of electronics and music and some of them are gathering for an event called SuperCollider Symposium. Dan Stowell is helping to organise the event and he's also a programming musician. He explained what will be happening at the event.

That's all for this week, but if there's something online that you would like to hear more about, if you're a hacker, maker or digital Outrider in your own right - then you must get in touch.

Until next week! ~ Jamillah
