[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Dorkbot participation at ON Gallery / Makerlab booth at OSCON

[Dem Chi]

Hi,

I'm Stanley Ames. Well, I don't really know if it counts as an "arduino
project" per se but I do have a project with an Arduino in it. I've got a
RepStrap machine that I wouldn't mind standing around and talking about...or
anything else for that matter. Count me in.

I'd also like to volunteer. That, I think, would be pretty awesome.
Definitely count me in on that!

"...the individual condition of each of us is tragic. Each of us is alone:
sometimes we escape from solitariness, through love or affection or perhaps
creative moments, but those triumphs of life are pools of light we make for
ourselves while the edge of the road is black: each of us dies alone."
