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?</p> <h2>Art and Electronics: Arcing the Gap</h2> <h3>Jesse Mejia</h3> <p>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.</p> <p>Jesse is an artist and AV nerd represented digitally <a href="http://anestheticaudio.com">at anestheticaudio.com</a>.</p> <h2>Getting Started With RF</h2> <h3>Ward Ramsdell</h3> <p>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!</p> <p>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>.</p> <h2>SPROING!</h2> <h3>Simran Gleason</h3> <p><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).</p> <p>Simran will show off Sproing & its HTML5 implementation, show the design evolution of the game, and give you the math of spring physics simulations.</p> <p>There will be a live multiplayer Sproing tournament during the talk, with chocolate at stake for the winner.</p> <p>Simran Gleason is an artist and a nerd. Usually he makes noise, but sometimes likes to turn physics into games.</p> <h2>OpenDork</h2> <h3>You!</h3> <p>An open-mic session for those looking to show off a project, ask a question, solicit help, or incite collaboration.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://dorkbotpdx.org/dorkbotpdx_0x07">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
