[douglas repetto]

Thanks again to Christian Croft & Kate Hartman, Mouna Andraos, and 
Michael Dory for their presentations last night. The Conflux Festival 
looks like it's going to be terrific!

Some pics and links from the meeting at:

+++++

In other news: Thanks to Bre Pettis for starting the "open dork" 
tradition here in NYC. At some of the other dorkbots around the world 
they have very short, spur of the moment presentations called "open 
dorks". We're going to start doing that in NYC. So if you come to a 
meeting and you've got something you'd like to show & tell for about 
1.5-3 minutes, let me know! You can tell me beforehand, or just come up 
before we get started.

In other other news: Next month we'll finally have dorkbot t-shirts! 
They'll be sold by Location One as a fund raiser. dorkbot presenters 
will get one for free...so schedule your presentation now! The design is 
here if you want to make your own:

In other other other news: I like making clothes, but rarely find the 
time. So I've set a challenge for myself -- I'm going to make something 
new to wear (mostly by recycling old clothes) to each dorkbot meeting 
this season. Last night I wore a simple Franken-t made from pieces of 
three retired t-shirts. Want to play? Just wear your latest creation to 
each meeting!



Happy Fall,

douglas
