Obscure Projects

The Obscure Organization supports a variety of non-commercial art, music, education, charity, and research projects. We provide web hosting and technical support services for these projects, and help connect people who want to lend a hand. Here is the official list of supported Obscure projects:

Arlington Heights Community Association

The informal neighborhood association serving the area where Obscure lives. Obscure provides technology support and web hosting to AHCA.

Creative Computer Exploration with Scratch

A set of lesson plans for a class called "Creative Computer Exploration with Scratch", intended to teach elementary school children programming, design, and math in an accessible and engaging way.

Freezing Saddles

Freezing Saddles is a winter cycling event run by members of the greater Washington, DC cycling community that promotes cycling outdoors in the winter. Silly games, pointless prizes, group rides, and leaderboards for bragging rights encourage people to ride. Obscure provides technology support and hosting for Freezing Saddles.
