Dorkbot PDX would like to welcome you to the latest installment of our semi-regular presentation series:
<h1>DorkbotPDX 0x07</h1>
(zero-based)
<b>When:</b> Monday, December 5th, 2011 - 8pm<br><b>Where:</b> Backspace ( map)<br><b>Who:</b> All ages -- open to the public<br><b>Cost:</b> Free!<br><b>What's happening?</b> Three great and inspiring talks regarding art, electronics, computers, physics, and a hybridized mega monster of all things strangely technical. Did we mention 3D bluetooth kittens and RF aardvarks dancing to the synthesizer sounds of the microcontroller apocalypse? Ok, I made that up...or did I?
<h2>Art and Electronics: Arcing the Gap</h2>
<h3>Jesse Mejia</h3>
Jesse will present an overview of a few recently completed projects and a few works in progress. His talk emphasizes bridging the gap between artists and pseudo-engineers, and he challenges the community to come up with a proper term for this crossover behavior.
Jesse is an artist and AV nerd represented digitally <a href="http://anestheticaudio.com">at anestheticaudio.com</a>.
<h2>Getting Started With RF</h2>
<h3>Ward Ramsdell</h3>
Ward presents an overview of several affordable, contemporary wireless devices and demonstrates how they may be easily incorporated with today's microcontrollers. It's off-the-shelf RF demystified, and you too can go wireless with your projects!
Ward Ramsdell is <a href="http://www.prototype-eng.com/">a real engineer</a> who <a href="http://www.mygeomate.com/">helps takes real products to market</a>.
<h2>SPROING!</h2>
<h3>Simran Gleason</h3>
<a href="http://www.sproingwords.com/">SPROING!</a> is a new web-based word game is like playing boggle in 3D, on platonic solids made of springs, with kittens (& aardvarks).
Simran will show off Sproing & its HTML5 implementation, show the design evolution of the game, and give you the math of spring physics simulations.
There will be a live multiplayer Sproing tournament during the talk, with chocolate at stake for the winner.
Simran Gleason is an artist and a nerd. Usually he makes noise, but sometimes likes to turn physics into games.
<h2>OpenDork</h2>
<h3>You!</h3>
An open-mic session for those looking to show off a project, ask a question, solicit help, or incite collaboration. |
