Dorkbot is here, once again - and it's going to be huge.

* Dale Dougherty (editor and publisher of Make Magazine) and Sherry  
Huss (director - Maker Faire) will give a recap of Maker Faire San  
Mateo and talk about what's upcoming for Maker Faire Austin (Oct  
20-21).  They will also answer questions about the audition process  
and give insight on desired projects.

The application process to Participate in Maker Faire Austin is now  
open!  Please review http://makerfaire.com/austin/2007/ 
callformakers/  -- Let's show off what Austin dorks are all about!

* The Austin contingent of The Geek Group <http:// 
www.thegeekgroup.org/>  returns.  A smash hit at Dorkbot SxSW with  
their singing Tesla Coils, they have agreed to give us another  
demonstration. They will talk about the construction, programming,  
and tuning of a solid state tesla coil instrument

* Edwin Wise, inspired by Sean McCullough's colloidal demonstration  
at the last dorkbot, will be building on these experiments with a  
variety of materials -- Needless to say, it will be loud.  (You may  
remember Edwin with his Ruben's Tubes at dorkbot7 and Burning  
Flipside this year)

* The University of Texas ACTLab research group (http:// 
www.actlab.utexas.edu/) will be giving a series of presentations -  
Learn about the insane experiments going on this summer.  (ex.  
Freestyle hacking, Actlab.tv - an open source video processing  
station, and circuit bent instruments, including a Casio / Atari 2600  
mashup).

* IF YOU KNOW OF A DJ WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN PLAYING AT DORKBOT9,  
let us know ASAP - dorkbotaustin at dorkbot.org  -- otherwise, it's  
going to be Enya on an iPod on endless repeat.
