Subject: [dorkbotdc-blabber] Soft Circuits: LED Cuff Workshop at HacDC
Message-ID: <ea9452800909031142i7b0f28b6j1f1c5c8d3cea7291@mail.gmail.com>

I going to lead an LED cuff workshop on Tuesday, 22 September at HacDC
starting at 7:00 p.m.  We'll construct a simple soft circuit -- in
this case, a unisex fabric cuff with an LED that lights up when you're
wearing it.  We're charging a $10 fee to cover the cost of the
materials, including the fabric, conductive thread and velcro, LEDs,
batteries, and resistor.  To participate in this workshop, you do not
need to have any prior experience with electronics; this workshop is
suitable for all ages (small children should be accompanied by an
adult, though).  We'll be using a tutorial by SparkLab's Syuzi
Pakhchyan, a media designer and tinkerer who weaves electronic
circuitry with craft.

Register and find more details at http://hacdc-ledcuff.eventbrite.com/

Does this mean I could build a remote to control other people's DSLR's? Is
there any pairing involved? Security features, etc?

It's a straight-up IR remote, nothing fancy.

Using a fancypants system, or a regular remote + 2 cams?

It's straight IR. No pairing involved.

I don't know about the other camera brands, but I have a Nikon brand
DSLR and it has to be in the remote control mode(versus timer mode and
regular ol' use the button modes) in order for the IR receiver to be
active.

Nope, just two cameras taped together horizontally, and the guy held
the IR control out in front of them with his other hand when he took a
picture.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm done posting Daily Mail stuff, they 
don't vet and I sometimes don't have time to, either. Sorry for posting 
this in the first place.

In case you all missed it, I wanted to point out the launch of the  
Make: Science Room and the Science Room store in the Maker Shed. We  
worked super hard on this and I'm super psyched about it.

Please spread the word if you can:

It is really fantastic, Gareth!  I love it.  It is great to see this
kind of resource emerging that can provide information and inspiration
for people interested in the sciences (and boy do we need it- and not

Hmm, just thinking.   Can I now post my photos from our field trip of 
his "Terrestrial Physics"?    I'd like to get his permission first.

together an order soon, getting excited!

Subject: [HacDC:Blabber] HacDC Lightning Talks. Request for participation!
To: HacDC Public Discussion <blabber at hacdc.org>


It's time for the first monthly HacDC Lightning Talks session. Please
submit talk proposals!

WHAT:
5 minute presentations on any topic! Each session will feature 10 talks.

WHY:
Show off a project. Ideas are refined when they get explained. Great
way to meet people and advertise your interests. Test out a talk idea
without a huge investment. Fame and fortune. 5 minute talks never get
boring, and they're easy to do.

WHERE:
HacDC main space

WHEN:
Thursday, October 1st, 2009 at 7:30PM - 9:00PM

HOW:
Email me your talk idea and I will contact everyone who submitted a
proposal when I have a full schedule. If your talk is accepted, you
will email me slides/materials so I can get you set up as needed, or
if you aren't accepted, just re-submit for the next round.


BTW, Let me know if October 1st is a bad choice for some reason. Also,
if you have a clever name that sounds cooler than "HacDC Lightning
Talks", let me know.

-Daniel

Hi Scott,

Thank you so much for asking this important question.

Jim would rather you not publish your photos. He needs to control the 
unfolding of his piece and it's a process that's very painstaking. He 
apologizes to you and hopes you understand. Feel free to check back with 
me after the piece gets exhibited to see what he thinks at that point.

I believe that, because the piece is so large, it makes it very 
important for Jim to try to recoup some of the money he spent on it by 
selling his own documents and related media art. It's unlikely the piece 
will match anybody's couch and therefore won't be sold to a collector 
smaller than a museum...and we can all imagine how deep museums' pockets 
are, these days.

Talk to you soon,

Alberto

I *absolutely* understand.   I wish Jim all the best and would not 
for a second wish to interfere with his success!

Tell him NO apologies needed, or for that matter, accepted!!!! :)

Hmmm,  a couch that matches......

An electronic musician named Moldover has released a noisemaker device as
the insert to his CD case.  Apologies if folks have already seen this, but a
friend passed it along and I thought it was pretty cool:

Nice, Tom. Wonder how large the PCB run was for him to be able to sell 
it at $9, shipped.

Hi,

Just heard about an app for the iPhone, "Bebot", $2.  It lets you
play a theremin/synthesizer-like instrument.  You control the
instrument by touching/sliding/tapping your fingers on the
screen, you can play up to four fingers/notes simultaneously.  A
review compares the sound control to the Kaoss pad.  You can
configure effects like echo, overdrive, chorus.  You can display
some hot keys that let you change the range you're playing in up
or down while you're playing.  By default your finger sliding
does a gradual transition between notes, but you can set it to
"snap" to only play notes in the scale you've chosen.

You can save mutiple combinations of settings to use later.  The
settings it comes with include theremin, sytharp, power PWM,
looper, belter.

As you're playing, it displays a cute robot on a stage on the
screen "singing" your composition.

There's a video at the app website showing some of what it can
do.

Dear Dorkbot and HacDC folks,

We are accepting talk proposals on any topic that interests you! Talks are
five minutes, and slides are optional. Demo a project, solicit idea
feedback, give a tutorial, or just rant.

We've got about 6 topic proposals in the mix, so there's room for several
more. Please email me your proposal topic title ASAP. I'm hoping to finalize
our talk list by the end of this week.

Even if you're not giving a talk, I look forward to seeing you there. The
event will be held in the main HacDC space at St. Stephens Church at 1525
Newton St.

have one somewhere.

I have an entire commodore 128 sitting  in my closet, with 2 - floppy  
drives. I would just wonder how to get the data from the c128 onto  
something more modern at that point, it's been WAY too long. If you  
need it though, I'm more than willing to try. Maybe some of our more  
"experienced" members might have some ideas :).

Thanks for the offers for help with reading the 5.25 inch floppy.  I 
found a guy at the Smithsonian who was able to do this for me.    They 
know a bit about old technology.  I'm looking forward to the re-opening 
of their Arts and Industry Museum. 

The floppy was written for a PC-compatible computer about April, 1994.  
The data on the disk was still in fine shape and we didn't have any 
trouble reading it.  The disk contains some publicly filed telephone 
company tariff data in a Lotus 1-2-3 .wk3 format spreadsheet.  Quite 
inaccessible for almost everyone.  I've been working hard on a project 
to make these data more publicly accessible.  For details, see

As an also newcomer, I have pretty much the same question.  Also, two
of the places I've lived recently had calendar aggregators for "geek"
events:

http://wellington.geek.nz/
http://phillygeeks.net/

Having googled for it, do I rightly assume there's no such thing for DC yet?

I recommend:
  http://www.dctechevents.com/
It has recurring meetings and one-time events (submitted by people).
You can subscribe to the Google Calendar. If you use the RSS feed or
e-mail list options, you'll get a weekly digest each Monday.

The bloke who runs it is working on a thingy to make managing
community calendars easier in general; I think he's doing most of it
by hand plus a script or two.

Not actually.

Ross (the DCTechevents guy) has to update the calendar manually, he just 
does it a lot.

Hello, I'm working on the creation of a time capsule for the local public
art dept. in Arlington, and if still possible, I'd like to say a few words
at the Lightning Talk on the nature of time stasis artifacts and their
perceptual clue value for the future in an age where the internet is rapidly
becoming a constantly accreting all-encompassing interactive time capsule.

Thanks,
Luke Idziak
