[dorkbotsea-blabber] April Dorkbot: Lightning talks, starring you

[trochee]

Call for talks: April Dorkbot is Lightning Dork!
Wednesday, April 4, 7:30pm

Ten speakers.
Two heats.
Five minutes each.

April's Dorkbot is all about short-takes.  Five minute talks, from ten
speakers.  We'll keep the timers, and you (or your favorite artists)
give the talks.

Do you have a project underway?  Do you have an idea that's too great
to keep quiet, but too half-baked to make into a full Dorkbot
presentation? Talk to me, Jeremy (<trochee at gmail.com>) or any other
Seattle Dork Overlord THIS WEEK.

A few projects already on deck -- you could be among these:

 Electric Fish
 Molecular Gastronomy
 War Cycling
 Desert Oracles
 Rethinking Bipedalism

All we need is YOU, and your art+geek ideas.

if you'd like to give a talk, I need
   *  a one-sentence name of the talk
   * your name
   * a few sentences saying what your talk is about
   * a few sentences saying who you are (to help us introduce you)
   * an idea of the media you'll involve (digital slides, a close-up
camera, etc)

WE ALSO NEED:

 * A giant clock -- we'd really like a big countdown clock (digital
display, or analog with a second hand), settable to 5:00 countdowns
for each speaker and readable across the presentation space.  (One
can't usually expect to get this from a mailing list, but
dorkbotsea-blabber is a pretty amazing group!)
