capitol hill, on 12th, about half a block North from Pine.

See you there!

*November 1st** 2006 DORKBOT:   The View From Up There*


*IMPORTANT: please note that we're not using our usual venue - details
below: IMPORTANT*


Greetings, Dorks! On WEDNESDAY, November 1st at 7:30 PM at the Capitol Hill
Arts Center, we will have three presentations about taking photos and video
from where you are not.  *Bre Pettis* will share his kite aerial photography
rigs and give us hints on how to avoid knocking someone's head off with a
pound and a half of payload attached to a long string.  *Peter Brown* will
show us the Assimilator Project; a way to enable people to have a
first-person perspective of being 500 feet in the air using simple off the
shelf wireless video equipment, LCD video goggles, lots of string and a
large helium balloon.  *Brad Larsen* and *Ryan Weh* will tell us about their
radio-controlled blimp-mounted camera, and then demonstrate it in action.



 Doors will be open at 7:00 if you want to show up early, have a drink at
CHAC's bar, and chat with your fellow dorks.
