Dorkbot Newcastle is launching on 5 October at the Centre for Life,
part of an international network of ?People Doing Strange Things with
Electricity? (www.dorkbot.org )? Dorkbot is an opportunity for people
interested in making things, physical or digital, to come and talk
about their projects and share ideas and thoughts with like-minded
individuals.

We?ll be meeting approximately monthly, or as often as we have enough
people who have something they want to talk about, in the Welcome Room
at the Centre for Life and to launch the first one we have three guest
speakers

Evan Raskob (PixelPusher - http://pixelist.info/ ), a Dorkbot London
regular, who generates video out of a controlled chaos of photographic
images, simple shapes, animations, sounds, and live video feeds. All
software is homemade, all imagery is created live; things may go wrong
in beautiful ways, and no performance is ever the same.? He will be
showing show some of his experiments in live drawing, such as
JelloTail and his latest project, Cartoon Tentacles

Aaron Nielsen of Oomlout (www.oomlout.com)? has recently moved to
Leeds from Vancouver to further his business developing Arduino
microcontrollers and will be talking about The Joy of Arduinos

Alastair MacDonald, (www.agm.me.uk/blog) Known to many in Newcastle
through his involvement in BarCamp and other events will be telling us
about and demonstrating one of his percussion machines, which create
musical instruments from found objects.

Come along meet other people interested in making stuff, or seeing
what others make, and let me know if there is a project you are
involved in that you?d like to talk about at a future Dorkbot
Newcastle

Date - 5 October,

Time - 7.30pm

Venue ? Lifelab Welcome Room, Centre for Life (enter via Lifelab
entrance http://tinyurl.com/ljwfoo )

Entry - Free

There will be a pay bar.

Message-ID: <86B37507-A054-4C8E-A5B7-6DD235904B15@lowfrequency.org>

Hi all,

The company downstairs went bust and gave us their old Sun equipment  
to get rid of, so we have some nifty bits if anyone is looking for  
Sun stuff, including two fully-loaded Storedge T3's, a bunch of scsi  
fibre-channel hard drives (about 36GB each), an 8 port Qlogic fibre  
channel switch, and some Sunfire 4800X parts we salvaged from a  
working Sunfire including power supply and fully-loaded CPU card (we  
can get more if you ask us *very* soon - the scrap guys are coming  
*tomorrow* early for the rest of the Sunfire).

If you're interested, please let me know at evan at flkr.com.  We'll let  
it go for very cheap, mostly to see it not melted down to scrap in  
some toxic factory in China. And please send this on to anyone who  
might be interested, not sure who that might be in this post-dotcom  
day and age.

Oh, and this is (mostly) for pickup, as its a bit big to ship, unless  
you're willing to pay for that.

Cheers

Message-ID: <2563d95d0909100408y32dbfec3j8993021355981e60@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Dorkbotters,
We're setting up a permanent hackspace in Manchester called the MadLab, the
Manchester Digital Laboratory. It's very much in the dorkbot vein, aiming to
bring together creative and technology disciplines in an open-access model.

Our first event is on the 24th October, as part of Manchester Science
Festival's 'Walking with Robots' strand. We're arranging for a robot hack
day for kids, followed by a robot football game in the evening (see
http://madlab.org.uk). We're aiming for around 30 kids and their entourages.

We're looking for people who may be interested in helping with the
programming, running workshops or demonstrations of their own robots. If
you're interested, drop us a line (dave at madlab.org.uk) . We can cover some
expenses, but we have a lot of press coverage lined up for the event.

Let me know if anyone on-list is interested, and we'd appreciate any
forwarding to anyone you may think is suitable.

Best

Dave / MadLab

Hi All!

I hope you won't consider this too spammy, but RjDj was presented at dorkbot a
few months back and there was quite a bit of interest from you folks, so I
guess it's on-topic. :)

Anyway, they have asked me to spread the word about the London sprint on the
weekend of October 2nd-4th.

Hi dorks,

I'm really excited about this night next month, I think people from
all the acts have done something at dorkbot in some capacity so come
over for a great party!  It's part of the knowledge futures conference
which will also be marvellous, featuring dorkbot regulars Julie
Freeman and Mick Grierson as well as other fine people including
Andrew Shoben of greyworld.

TRANSFER

http://slab.org/transfer/

An evening of beautiful experiments in music from humans and computers
as part of the knowledge futures conference.

Time: 7pm - 10pm, Friday 16th October 2009
Place: Goldsmiths Great Hall, New Cross, London

Advance tickets available, ?10 each (?5 concessions).

Featuring:

+ LEAFCUTTER JOHN +

Leafcutter John's experimental approach to music, including handmade
synthesis algorithms, contact microphones and handmade interfaces like
his "electric breasts" beloved him to a crowd more used to industrial
techno through his chaotic Planet Mu releases. More recently though
his love of folk music has shown in his recorded work, his 2006 album
finding his guitar and his voice between electronic forests. It's not
clear what he's going to do for Transfer, but it'll be chosen from one
of the broadest sonic pallets in London.
[ http://www.leafcutterjohn.com/ ]

+ FINN PETERS QUARTET +

Finn Peters (sax / flute / fx), Matthew Yee-king (SuperCollider), Oren
Marshall (tuba / fx) and Tom Skinner (drums / synths / fx) will play
prototypical versions of tracks from the forthcoming 'Music of the
Mind' album which features music generated, modulated and inspired by
the activity of the brain. As usual, you can also expect some noisy,
wild card improvisations.
[ http://www.myspace.com/finnpeters | http://www.yeeking.net/ |

+ SPACEDOG (the Angliss sisters and Clara 2.0) +

Spacedog present Electroplasm: space songs, torch songs and death
ballads with theremin, vocals and musical automata.
[ http://spacedog.biz/ ]

+ SLUB +

Slub are three live coders who have made software to make music to
drink beer to for the last nine years. Slub sound emerges from slub
software; melodic and chordal studies, generative experiments and beat
processes. Process-based sonic improvisations; live generative music
using hand crafted and live coded apps, scripts, l-systems, daisy
chains and traffic simulations in networked synchrony. With roots in
UK electronica and tech culture, slub build their own software
environments for creating music in realtime. Only custom composition
and DSP software is used. Everything you hear is formed by human
minds.

*Non**n**y de la Pe**?**a, Senior Research Fellow, Immersive Journalism, 
USC Annenberg School of Journalism (California, USA)*

Nonny de la Pe?a will talk about immersive journalism, a novel way to 
utilize gaming platforms and virtual environments to convey news, 
documentary and non-fiction stories. She will discuss how these 
platforms might offer audiences an immersive experience that can 
complement and extend reporting in traditional news media. She will also 
present Gone Gitmo, a virtual Guantanamo Bay Prison, and IPSRESS, an 
experience using head mounted display technology, as potential 
prototypes of immersive journalism.

Part three in the first series of livecoded music events in London.

  http://toplap.org/uk/

Live coding is a new direction in electronic music and video, and is
starting to get somewhere interesting. Live coders expose and rewire
the innards of software while it generates improvised music and/or
visuals. All code manipulation is projected for your pleasure.

Where: Shunt lounge, London Bridge
When: 10pm until late, This thursday 1st October

As part of the din collective fest from thursday til saturday, the
TOPLAP UK collective will live code beautiful music in the main bar in

other nice music happening around shunt from 8pm.

Line up will include

  Thor Magnusson
  Yeeking
  Cane toad orchestra

I'm working on an interactive project which consists of several pressure
sensors linked to an arduino which affects the manipulation of a 3D object
(openGL) in Processing. Its a fairly simple setup but I have some glitches
in my code and some extra things I would like to do on the side of the 3D
manipulation.

If anyone has the expertise and the interest, I would be willing to pay you
for your time. The price is negotiable.
Or if you know of someone who does, I would appreciate if you could tell me
who they are!

Please email me at: ricardo at setik.com
cheers!
