[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Interesting story on Science Friday

I was headed to grab some lunch today and briefly caught a bit of
today's Science Friday, only to hear a bit of some familiar names and
stories. The piece was discussing the collaboration between Heddy Lamarr
and George Antheill and a new play about this work called Frequency
Hopping. 

Any of you who attended the first DorkbotPDX event may remember Jesse
Fox's presentation on the work he did with LEMUR to make possible the
performance on a ground-breaking composition by Antheill. Well, LEMUR is
again involved in this play, apparently -- I'm assuming using some of
the work they did previously.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the full piece, but you can find a
bit more information about it here:
