Message-ID: Dear All We've come to a bit of a crunch point with Dorkbot - we don't have a February speaker! Please get in touch if you have a project you'd like to speak about, or have a contact for someone you think would be of interest to the group.

(an event being held at Trinity and simultaneously in Second Life on 23 February) The aim of D.R.O.I.D is for two audiences, the physical and the digital, to come together, meet each other, interact, know each other. How many technophobes out there have never spoken to their virtual brothers and sisters? How many of the new wired generation have never left the confines of their virtual reality interfaces to interact with the rest of us? Greater understanding is what we seek, together we shall stand, shoulder to digitised shoulder.... Nat Gavin on Circuit Bending Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of devices such as low voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and small synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Bring a toy which makes an electronic sound to dismantle and indulge in some sonic invention... Please note - from this month Dorkbot will be held at our new home at the Pervasive Media Studio in Anchor Square (above Firehouse Rotisserie).

We are therefore going to cancel this month's Dorkbot and we very much hope that we can reschedule it for March. Apologies again, but we will be back in touch asap. Emma
