[dorkbotnyc-blabber] theme song remixes

[john arroyo]

Is anyone else interested in the idea?  I'm still willing to set it up!  I think it'd be a lot of fun and dorkbotters would get into it.

BTW this is the site that would host the dorkbot remix evolution, www.remixin.org
I just did some big updates to it this week.


thanks,
-John

really like your iterative remix idea.  think every month would  be a
good duration during the "school year" and a few months over the
summer, my two cents.

I'm starting round 4 of my current evolution project next week.  It's really cool listening to how people are building upon the ideas of the previous  remix.  www.remixin.org

If someone wants to view past versions of the dorbot theme they could always go to the remixin site and hear any of them archived.  However for the general listener they'll get served a new random track every time they click on the theme song link.  The coolest thing is every period (lets say a month for arguments sake) the visitors to the dorkbot page will hear from a new set of random tracks.  Then the next month they come back and they hear a random remix from the newly submitted remixes.
