Joseph invented a machine that puts out more energy than it takes in. He describes it as an electromagnetic motor which runs "cool". Joseph states he implements Tesla's mechanical unified field theory and presents an explicit mechanical and fundamental explanation for magnetic attraction/repulsion and harnesses the elemental forces. Oh yes, Joseph Newman is a controversial figure, but he stimulates wonder of quantum physics and its practical use today. To my surprise, Joseph made explosive states regarding the Sun - Earth connection. He helped explain theory beyond my Equation which stops at the Sun as the cause of our extreme weather. Joseph sheds some light as to why the Sun itself has its cycles.

Exit at 195th Street (2nd exit). Turn RIGHT. Follow this road which becomes Woodinville-Duvall up the hill. The road makes a few turns and dips and is about 2 miles from the top of the hill. At the top of the hill the two lanes become one, and there is an Arco and a Texaco at the signal there. Turn LEFT onto 168th Ave NE. 168th is a short distance down the hill (next signal) (look for Mack's store on the left, just past the intersection). Go until 168th ends (2 block or so). Turn RIGHT onto 195th Street. Proceed down the hill a short distance (1 block or a little less). As the road levels out briefly, and on the right, is a set of mailboxes, one says "Rosen." Turn into the driveway there (RIGHT) and the first house (there are two houses on the lot) is ours (to the right of the driveway). 17027 195th Parking may be problematic - we need to keep the driveway clear - but we have a long asphalt slab off the driveway. Park anywhere that does not block the driveway or others. _________________________________________________________________ Yes, the general public is very welcome to attend.

Holy robots, dorkboy...! dorkbot-sea, Seattle's offshoot of the growing dorkbot clan for people doing strange things with electricity, is about to kick off... But wait! What *is* a dorkbot, and why are we mailing you? According to Douglas Repetto, who started the very first dorkbot in NYC about four years ago, "dorkbot... is a monthly meeting of artists (sound/image/movement/whatever), designers, engineers, students and other interested parties... who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the broadest sense of the term). the purpose of dorkbot... is to: * * give artists/programmers/engineers an opportunity for informal peer review * *establish a forum for the presentation of new art works/technology/software/hardware * *help establish relationships and foster collaboration between people with various backgrounds and interests * *give us all a chance to see the cool things that our neighbors are working on" For more, take a look at http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/ . dorkbot-sea's first meeting will be at Capitol Hill's Center on Contemporary Art (http://www.cocaseattleorg ; directions on this CoCA site) at 7.30 pm on Wednesday, 6th June, 2003. Please RSVP direct to me (kates(a)microsoftcom) if you'll be attending so that I can make sure you'll have a seat. Our inaugural speakers will be: * Trimpin: Seattle-based sound artist, composer and inventor (see http://www.othermindsorg/shtml/Trimpin.shtml for a brief biography), will be talking on a topic that he'll divulge when he returns from his current overseas trip. * Chris McMullen, 'Aesthetic Movement': Tacoma-based kinetic sculptor Chris McMullen will be running two of his loud, large, elegantly austere machines and talking about aesthetic movement': "there is movement all around us, every day, everywhere we go. from cars driving by, to cranes lifting material, to cargo ships coming in to port. most of which we take for granted, because it is normal everyday life. if you ever stop to look and take in what is happening around you, you may see the beauty in the mundane movements from here to there. inspired by industry, and machinery of all sorts, my work seeks to show the beauty of movement in simple actions, such as a hammer swing.". * Maribeth Back, 'Experiments in the Future of Reading': one-time Seattle resident and now-Berkeley, CA-based sound artist and researcher Maribeth Back (http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~mbb/ ) will be talking about an exhibition she curated in Silicon Valley and the two exhibits that she built herself: "The Listen Reader is a personal interactive reading experience that combines the look and feel of a real book - a beautiful cover, paper pages and printed images and text - with the rich, evocative quality of a movie soundtrack. It is designed to preserve and even heighten the experience of immersive reading. It explores the idea of multi-sensory reading: the use of background sound to provide a sense of place, and to add affect to the experience of reading a book without interrupting the flow of the story. The Listen Reader also preserves the beauty of the book as token object, embedded in a classic immersive reading environment: a comfortable chair, a polished hardwood swing-arm reading stand, a pool of light in an otherwise shadowed corner. The soundtrack is controlled by the motion of the reader's hands above the page; any motion within eight inches of the sensors is read as a volume, pitch, or pan control. Embedded RFID tags were used to sense the page looked at, and capacitive field sensors measure human proximity to the pages. Proximity measurements control volume and other expressive parameters of the sounds associated with each page. Speeder Reader provides speed reading with speed racing controls, combining dynamic typography with a driving interface. A speed-reading protocol called RSVP (for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) can allow people to learn to read up to 2000 words per minute. In Speeder Reader, a gas pedal controls the rate of speed-reading and a steering wheel navigates between streams of text. Speeder Reader is designed not only to illustrate a different method of text reading, but to provide a metaphor about personal control over the powerful medium of text: driving is a enabling tool for people in our culture.". We'll start the meeting with announcements, and then each speaker will talk for a total of 30 minutes, including Q&A. After the presentations, we'll showcase the work of some local dj's and/or sound artists along with beer and conversation. The evening should wrap up by around 10.30 p.m., though as it'll be our kickoff event, we'd like to make the last part of the evening into something of an after-party - so come ready to let your hair down! Admission is free, and there is absolutely no charge for participating in dorkbot events. However, will be holding a voluntary collection for CoCA to enable them to continue to support dorkbot and other, similar activities in future - so please do be prepared to give according to your means. To find out more about future dorkbot-sea events, please join our mailing lists via http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/dorkbotmaillist.htm . If you'd like to speak at a future dorkbot meeting, please contact me (kates(a)microsoftcom) and/or Kathy Cain (kc@caincreative.com) and we'll tell you how. Lastly, please forward this email on to everyone you know that you think may be interested in coming along to dorkbot-sea meetings, speaking, performing or spinning. Going forward, we'll only be making announcements via the dorkbot-sea mailing lists, so this is your first and last 'cold call' email. Via the dorkbot-sea lists, we will also be calling for djs and sound artists wanting to showcase their work after dorkbot meetings, submissions for a dorkbot-sea show at CoCA in August, video artists who may have work they'd like to submit for a potential dorkbot screening at 911 Media Arts Center, and various other exciting opportunities to get your work in front of people as they come up. Any comments or questions, please feel free to follow up direct with me. We hope to see you at the first Seattle dorkbot meeting - welcome to dorkbot-sea!

Output voltage flows through a velocity-servo loop to provide the damping function, yielding substantial improvements in frequency and step response. Model GV751 provides optimum frequency response, low power consumption, and AHA performance that are especially suitable in battery-powered and portable instruments. Model GVM734 features the lowest power consumption of any 40mm chart-width 100 Hz galvanometer for strip-chart recording devices and is ideal for use in portable, battery-operated defibrillators. (NOTE: Model GVM734 is a shorter version of Model GV751.) Model GM734 A conventional, open loop moving-iron galvanometer that’s ideal for low-power, low-cost applications, the GM734 features a 120 Hz natural frequency and a g*cm torque.

Effervescence can only happen if there are already some seed-bubbles present, or if the environment is extremely supersaturated and the seed-bubbles start appearing spontaneously. In the same way that ultrasound can turn a 2-liter bottle of cola into a 20ft fountain of foam, it should create seed bubbles to let the gas come out of solution. I don't know if it would increase output though, since the output would depend on the rate of electrical production of the "dissolved BG" or clathrate water or whatever it is. On the other hand, if the presence of dissolved BG halts the further production of BG, then creating effervescence with cavitation would greatly increase the gas production. I wonder if George has ever tried inserting some "salt bridge" membranes or conductive gel disks into the electrolyte to mechanically separate the region of strange bubbles from the rest of the cell. That would let the 'pure' gas-stuff come out separately from the H2 and O2 bubbles coming from the fluid at the metal surfaces. > Is it likely that this large negative water ion will balance-out the > charge involved when a proton is "trapped" in the form of a hydronium > ion inside the same icosahedron that captures the hydrated electron, or > more likely in an adjoining icosahedron. Cool! Long ago I was brainstorming about "ion matter" which would resemble ionic crystals but with pos/neg structure on a macro scale, being overall neutral but with alternating patches of positive and negative charge (or perhaps a positive foam truss structure surrounding negative bubbles.) The stuff might resemble aerogel: having low density but solid or fluid structure. Huh. A hunk of it might be invisible (too close to air's optical index), yet have higher pressure inside, higher density, and surface tension. WOULD IT FORM SPHERES? Clouds of released BG might do strange things. This could be made visible by casting shadows of the gas with an intense point-source of light such as a widely spread laser, a continuous arc lamp, etc. I've done this by using a 1cm mirror to launch a spot of sunlight across a large warehouse. The big spot of sunlight is an image of the sun, and also it gives "scheliern" effects. The shadows of flames, alcohol, propane, and body heat can be seen. Would pure BG form spheres? Sphere's of unstable material which drift around the room... and explode if perturbed? Ball lightning. Ball lightning is "Brown's gas." Or more likely the opposite: Brown's Gas is ball lightning produced artifically. Maybe! If this connection is real, then maybe freshly-produced Brown's Gas glows in the dark. Would it even burn if heated, or is the usual "burning" of BG actually triggered by something on the micro scale other than heat? It sure would be weird if you could heat BG to extreme temperatures as long as you didn't expose it to any strong e-fields! > In either case, the charge > would cause the encasement structure to swell in size, just as with any > ion.

The exhibition begins on Wednesday, August 6th at 8.00 pm with an opening party and continues throughout the month of August until September 3rd. The works shown range from kinetic, interactive, multi-media sculpture to 2D printed images created by autonomous computer graphics software that requires no human input, and a wide spectrum of creativity in between. The first dorkbot (http://dorkbotorg) meeting was held four years ago at the Columbia University Computer Music Center in New York City by Douglas Irving Repetto, and people doing strange things with electricity has been the tagline for this informal, international group ever since. dorkbot has no fees, no dues, no official membership roster but on the first Wednesday of every month or thereabouts, in nine cities around the world, artists (sound, image, movement, whatever), engineers, designers, students and other interested parties involved in the creation of electronic art meet to discuss new work or technologies, share ideas, establish collaborative relationships and see the cool things that everyone else is up to. This exhibit aims to represent the diversity of this community, the diversity of the work that the community generates, and, in the spirit of dorkbot, have an excellent time to boot. People Doing Strange Things With Electricity at CoCA gives 29 local artists whose biographies range from emerging to established, and CoCA s wide, local audience, the chance to do exactly that. Exhibiting artists include: * MARIBETH BACK, Listen, Reader , an experiment in the future of reading * JOHN BAIN, Autocaster , an interactive sound installation * WILLIAM J.

I wondered why everyone online wasn't talking about "Inventor's Weekend." It's right here next month. I've never received any word, except Jerry R. mentioned it once. But then I found out. Its site, "ionvalvecom," is Ion Valve Industries. Bruce Perrault. Eww. I'm probably on Perrault's enemies list since I'm strongly against "self-promotion" (i.e. against treating colleagues as customers to fleece, and against any profiting by selling stuff to fellow hobbyists.) Also I lean towards Jerry Decker's side in the great Decker/Perrault flamewar. Mr. Perrault has a history of mild dishonesty, has turned several in the weird science community against him, and seems to see people not as fellow science hobbyists, but as "marks" he can sell stuff to. In my opinion, life's way too short to deal with even slightly unethical science people. Everything they claim, it could just be their intentionally stretching the truth in order to persuade you to buy their latest videotape or their plans for Incredible Free Energy Device. Yes, it's normal for the business world. Buyer beware, expect ripoffs. But science is based on bend-over-backwards truthtelling, and the small dishonesty and persuasion of a businessman is a disgusting titanically huge ethical flaw when found in a scientist (even in an amateur scientist.) Old events, somewhat typical: Perrault comes onto my freenrg-L forum. Decker quickly subscribes, Decker/Perrault flamewar starts. I tell them both: first one to hurl another insult is ejected from the forum. Decker hurls insults, gets banned. Perrault seems friendly, but I have suspicions about his motives. In order to test them, I start the process to ban all "self promotion" from freenrg-L. Selling products to other subscribers will be forbidden. Perrault strongly objects. Bingo! Suspicions confirmed. Some freenrg-L users think self-promotion is OK, but most do not. Perrault quickly goes silent, then leaves. I never did add a "no self-promotion" rule to the forum. Perrault eventually starts his own forum, nuenergycom. J.L Naudin's forum jlnlabsorg gets good, sucks in much of Freenrg-L and Keelynet audiences. Much later: Perrault sells a Tesla patents CDROM. (Could be ethical, like rexresearchcom, since it's hard to track down foreign patents. Could be unethical, like those "working overunity machine plans" sellers, since such patents can't be owned by anyone.) His enemy Jerry Decker responds, posts Perrault's Tesla patent files on Keelynetcom so anyone can have them for free. Perrault claims that he has copyrighted Tesla's patents, then threatens to sue Decker for posting them. Huh? Claiming to OWN Tesla's patents? I could understand why Perrault would get mad... but... he thinks that he is the rightful owner of public documents just because he spent effort to look them up in libraries and scan them into a PC? Whew. Very twisted. Earlier: Tesla Society sells Perrault's plans for "Cold Fission" tube, claimed to be a working FE device. People buy plans. Nobody gets any results. Then Perrault mentions that the real device used radioactives, but he was afraid of legal problems, so he distributed only the plans for a similar device using chlorine without radioactives, and without the strong results... rather than just EXPLAINING the situation. Several buyers get incensed about $40 plans "ripoff." Perrault claims that Tesla Society wasn't supposed to be selling the plans in the first place. Hmmm. Is he telling the truth? It all looks like a possible misunderstanding. But in hindsight it all looks like a possible webwork of dishonesty, lies about lies, but it's always hard to prove this. What *IS* always missing is the strong signature of honesty. (Keep things secret and dangle temptations in front of the audience, while loudly denying that you're doing this.)

Bill, that's great news - I can't wait to see it working! Well Pond Machine II is running, doing things, but not "working." But at least it's a *very interesting* failure. The way I created this thing was to simulate a transmission line made from small segments, then apply a signal to the end of the cellular array while having the voltage of each cell drive the plexiglas rectangles. After putting it in full operation, I see that some internal values need some tuning. And now I realize that my mental image has an entirely different alternative interpretation. The segments of the transmission line are also NEURONS. They all communicate with their neighbors. There is a bit of gain, and a bit of noise. Each neuron has a nonlinear regime which must be avoided. At the edge of the neural net there is a system clock, a pacemaker, which imposes organization on the dynamic patterns. But what happens when there's a flaw? In that case positive feedback causes multiple emergent oscillations which make complicated travelling flickers: Chaos patterns and soliton waves propagating across the array. Plug it in and it wiggles crazily, but the wiggle patterns are not simply random noise, instead they're full of (unwanted) complexity. Or in more familiar terms... ...my sculpture has developed epilepsy. Either that, or the heart muscle has entered a fibrillation mode. It's a really cool system bug. Maybe I shouldn't fix it. Just rename the Chaos-wiggly device... "Polished dancing thoughts thought fiercely." "The consequences of reflective reflection." "A flawed mirror of deranged mentation."

Hey, can you light an iron pipe on fire with this? Or do you need way more oxygen? "Thermic lance" is where you pump oxygen through an iron pipe, then heat the free end of the pipe until it catches fire in the O2. Then use it as a sort of cutting torch (push it through concrete, or perhaps granite.) But can we do a tabletop version using a short piece of 1/4" steel tube and a one-liter O2 bottle? (Maybe it burns the tubing down too fast.) Don't show kids how to do this. THey'll want to bore holes through their school, make sidewalk-lava, or write graffitti on steel manhole covers.

If you put a pumpkin on a grounded plate, then touch one wire from a neon sign transformer to the pumpkin skin, will the arcing instantly boil out a hole in the material (like Electric Discharge Machining?) If so, then pumpkin carving would be greatly accelerated. You could even make some sort of electrode shape, then push it slowly towards the pumpkin and let it sculpt the face pattern with crawling arcs and clouds of steam. If that doesn't work, try oxy-acetylene. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

The social will begin at 4 P.M. and end at 10 P.M. Mike and Becky can be emailed at citrak at aolcom, for additional information. NOTE There is an update to the theme of the social: Doctor "X" will build a Creature: For all those Dr Frankenstein clones or channelers, we will have a grand activity for you: Build a Creature. Yes, bring your body parts, electrodes, and imaginations. We'll supply some parts. Build a creature or bring one you've already created. It could be you or a dummy, or your final product could be an unfinished (or is that interrupted) creation. One never knows the mood of the village people. (Wait, that didn't sound right.) You are welcome to leave your creation at our house and we will use it with our Halloween display for our ravening hordes of Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween. You of course you don't have to leave your creature after the party, especially if you are it!!! If you rather not build a creature maybe you're interested in creating a creature from a pumpkin instead. You can bring a pumpkin, OR arrive early, 3:00 P.M., and we'll car pool about three miles to Pigman's Organic Farm (in nearby Nisqually Valley). If you're late, we'll have directions at the house. We have lots of pumpkin carving tools. Please let us know if you want to join us in the Pumpkin Harvest or bring your own pumpkin. We have pumpkin eviscerators and mutilators (scoops and carving tools.) Book / Movie discussion will be on your favorite creature creation book and/or movie. Is it the classic Frankenstein, or ?. For those who just want to sit back and relax we'll show something like "My Science Experiment" in the dungeon. Don't forget your lab coats and goggles. For out of towners, please let us know if you would like crash space. As usual, this is a potluck. (We may fire up the BBQ if the weather is nice). Please bring a contribution of munchies, salad, hot dish, or desert. Bring your own beverages, if you want something special. Coffee and tea will be available. NWSFS members are encouraged to attend, and non-members in the community are welcome. We hope to see you there. Logistical information: No buses (sorry), we have three cats that will be locked away. There are only two steps up, and smoke outside. Thanks. Directions to the Citrak's home: The Citrak's house is in the Tanglewilde housing area. It is a one story, two-car garage Rambler style. It is tan with some brickwork in front and a basketball pole on the side of driveway. >From I-5 If Southbound Take Exit 111 and turn left at light. If Northbound Take Exit 111 (new ramp "Y"s, take the right "Y", round the roundabout to Quinault.) At the light (in between Chevron and Texaco) take a right. You'll be on Marvin road. Travel past Hawk's Prairie Mall, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, etc. Cross Martin Way (old Hwy 99) and go past Mega Foods Once past Mega foods, the next right is 3rd Ave SE. Turn Right on 3rd Ave SE. (and now it has its own traffic light, making it easier to get) Travel on 3rd for about four or five blocks until you come to a stop sign. This will be a "T" intersection and you will turn left. You will be on Choker St SE Travel on Choker for about three blocks until you come to a stop sign This will be Bobcat Dr SE Turn right. Bobcat will be a short street and will curve to right. The house is the last one on the left just before the stop sign. The house is one story tan and brown house. ______________________ Take Care Michael Citrak mcitrak(a)comcast.net From weirdsci-announce-request(a)eskimocom Wed Oct 22 23:38:54 2003 Received: (from smartlst(a)localhost) by mx1.eskimocom (8.9.3/8.8.8) id XAA27545; Wed, 22 Oct 2003 23:35:53 -0700 Resent-Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 23:35:53 -0700 Status: O X-Status: Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 23:35:44 -0700 (PDT) From: William Beaty Subject: WSCI: Physics teachers conference this Sat.

Details are below, and, along with more info about the speakers, up on the dorkbotsea website http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea. If you haven t RSVP d already, please do so to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg: this is going to be a popular session. Looking forward to seeing you there! K *********************************** Smouldering sonification! Seattle s samplist extraordinaire, OTIS FODDER, curates the first ever dorkbotsea themed night on APPROPRIATED MEDIA. On WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th at 7.30 PM, at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg), FOUR fantastic speakers, each an expert in their fields, discuss and demonstrate the history, hows and whys of creating new art from digital detritus. Local composer, sound artist, phonographer and music writer CHRIS DELAURENTI (http://www.delaurenti.net) will cover the history of pre-hip hop repurposed sonic materials from 1920 s Berlin through Cage, Tenney, Stockhausen and more, playing excerpts and commenting on the practices and pitfalls of creating such work. OTIS FODDER (http://www.otisfoddercom) discusses listening, appropriating and sharing mining the aural dustbins of society and creating new work with the findings. Otis will play classic sampled material in pop and hip hop and cover sources from which to sample, from thrift stores to Main Street. Detritus.net founder and multimedia artist STEEV HISE (http://detritus.net/steev/) travels from Portland, OR, to talk about recycling culture, sampling, appropriation and the legal obstacles to artists doing work in this field. He ll also cover the history of Detritus.net and give an overview of the other artists represented there. JOHN BAIN (aka MUTANT DATA ORCHESTRA; http://www.simuluxcom ) will be circuit-bending in real time on live video camera, demonstrating how he re-purposes socialized home electronics and discovers what your answering machine really wants to say without blowing it up or killing himself (we re insured, right? Yeah and he s made a will&). All the presenters will perform together as MUTANT DATA ORCHESTRA++ after the meeting expect Theremins, answering machines, and the unexpected. The evening is FREE, we ll have cocktails and conversation until the music starts. Please RSVP as usual to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg: it s the only way we can get in enough booze and seats. Full details are up at http://www.dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea. See you on the 5th!

So far several people expressed interest, but everyone wants to ride and not drive. Right now we only have one car: my pickup which seats two. Jim Burrows might go, and he has a minivan. We can reserve seats at the play (using their answering machine.) The radio/electricity museum closes at 4PM, and the Tesla Play is at 8PM, so we have many hours to hang out and eat dinner.

"Mom! Mom! What are those weird blinking lights over at CoCA?" "Don't worry, [lad/lass/Lassie]: it's just our local dorks doing strange things with photons for the holidays.". She's right! At 7.30 PM on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3RD at CoCA http://www.cocaseattleorg , a loosely LIGHT-THEMED dorkbot will be twinkling into being. The deepest, darkest months of winter are upon us, and just as so many of December's festivals are all about light, from Hanukkah (http://www.holidays.net/chanukah/) to St. Lucy's Day (http://www.schooloftheseasonscom/lucy.html) and the winter solstice (http://www.candlegrovecom/solstice.html), so this meeting features three presenters using light in weird and wonderful ways - including a display outside CoCA if the rain holds off. Come in from the cold and light up your life with a warm dork and a long drink - as always, ADMISSION IS FREE! Presenters and performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GASPO: MICROCONTROLLER FREAK. recent Seattle arrival gaspo's work focuses on bringing art and technology into a direct interactive experience, using sound, motion, light and radio to stimulate and scramble the senses. gaspo (aka Scott Gasparian) will be presenting an overview of using microcontrollers in art applications. Opening with a video of the mad-scientists project "L2K" which has been installed at the Burning Man festival since 1999, his presentation will include demonstrations of the "colour" version of the L2K protocol. To demonstrate the interactivity focus of his art, he will be showing the blades to the 10 foot "HypKnowTron" (http://www.1skycom/hkt) and a live deomonstration of the recently completed "minitron". This talk will be suitable for artists who have no idea about electricity but would like to include it in their art, and will illuminate the possibilities of computer controlling a variety of motors, lights, sensors, and toasters. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * STEVE SAFARIK: LASER SPACEWARS. what could be dorkier than sharks with laser weapons mounted on their heads? Why, a video game drawn with a laser beam, of course! You may know how to make trippy laser images on your wall by mounting a mirror on your speaker and aiming a laser pointer at it, but tonight local electronics, computing, math and radio whiz Steve Safarik will show us how to exhibit finer control over the beam and draw the precise shapes needed for his multiplayer space combat game. Spacewars will be running and playable on the parking lot wall outside CoCA before and after the meeting (weather permitting, of course), so come a little early and stay a little late to play a few rounds. (http://www.stevesafarik.net/) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JEREMY WINTERS: THE MOOD CHANNEL AND BEYOND. Seattle-based composer, sound designer and computer programmer Jeremy Winters will has been evolving his master project, the Mood Channel, for 7 years. Most of this time has been spent daydreaming and fantasizing about futuristic living where music, lighting and interior decor have blended together to interface with our emotions. Jeremy will be discussing some of the basic concepts behind the generative music that he uses, and share some of the Mood Channel's inner workings. He will also be showing some of the newer programs that he is creating. (http://www.madnessmachinecom/) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PERFORMANCE: JEREMY WINTERS plays some of his solo material using generative techniques on a virtual modular synthesizer, re-sampling the sounds and random melodies into sparse, hypnotic, relaxed and deeply chill layers and textures. Stay inside to listen and network, play Laser Spacewars in the parking lot, or both! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 05: TRIPPING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 5TH 3rd DECEMBER at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) BRING: Work in progress, anything you'd like to share or discuss DRESS: If you must, make it warm and woolly RSVP: PLEASE RSVP as soon as you're able for this meeting.

Glass is normally an insulator 2. Hot glass is an electrolyte (sodium or boron ions) 3. Manufacturers keep their glass molten by passing kiloamps through it. 4. If glass had the right resistance value, it might strongly absorb microwave radiation. 5. I've heard stories where pyrex cups were melted by a microwave oven. >From long experience with microwave ovens we know that glass is not a very good absorber. However, what if the glass was PRE-HEATED to incandescent temperature? Would its electrical resistance be a match for a microwave oven's characteristics? Easy enough to find out. I found my cheap propane torch and grabbed a handy bottle. I donned eye protection then carefully flame-heated the whole side of the bottle to prevent cracking from thermal stresses, then I heated a small spot in the center until it glowed dimly red. The hotspot was about the size of a dime. Propane torches aren't great for glassblowing, but they can heat glass until it just starts to soften. I placed the bottle upright in an empty 1000-watt microwave oven, used the torch to keep the hotspot glowing until the last instant, then slammed the door and hit "start." The hotspot rotated out of sight as the bottle rode around on the turntable. When it came back into view, it wasn't dimly glowing red. The hotspot was bright orange and about 3cm in diameter! It's like a forest fire: the small hotspot heats the neigboring glass, which then becomes conductive and absorbs radiation, heating the next bit of glass, etc. The hotspot grows as if the material were on fire! The glowing glass slumped as I watched. I stopped the oven quickly in case this was overheating the magnetron. (maybe it's not! maybe I just need a slab of firebrick to place beneath the bottle.) Hmmmmm. INterrrrrresting, no? What shall we try melting next? How about an upright glass rod? If I heat the tip, then maybe it will melt from the top down, like a candle.

It's the kind you see in gas-powered barbecue grills, or used as decorative stone spread under bushes, a little 2-in fragment full of bubbles. I kept it because it's location was weird. (Seagulls took it up there? Did it fall from the sky a la Charles Fort?) Brainstorm! Last week I realized that pumice is lava but with so much outgassing that it forms a rigid foam. Since it's easy to melt quartz in a microwave oven if it's full of ionic impurities (such as sodium or boron, normal glass or Pyrex,) the pumice might be the same. So I heated the top of the stone to slightly red heat with a plumber's torch and stuck it in the microwave for a minute. (small 900 watt oven.) It became red hot and also emitted lots of plasmoids from carbon crap on its surface, but it did not melt visibly. Today I futzed with it some more. I lifted it up on an overturned dish, heated its top yellow-hot with a MAPP gas plumbing torch (much hotter than propane), and nuked it for a minute. It just glowed dull red, but I noticed that the entire ceramic dish was quite hot. Then I noticed that the rotating glass platter was also hot. With no RF load, the standing waves build up until any feeble absorber sucks up the oven's entire output. I got rid of the dish and the glass platter, and placed the pumice fragment on an inverted paper cup. I heated its top to yellow hot again, slammed the door and hit start. It glowed, then darkened, so I moved the cup over an inch to find a "hotspot." Repeat. It glowed, then darkened, but this time there was some red glow peeking out from deep inside the holes in the pumice. The glow increased and momentarily became incandescent white (painful to look at.) Then the glow started spreading through the stone, became orange, and finally a thin crust broke out of the side of the block and a slow stream of bright yellow lava started oozing forwards, carrying black crust fragments as it came. Something right out of a nature program, but in miniature. I hit "stop" and it halted immediately (never even charring the paper cup.) Is that cool, or what! INCANDESCENTLY cool. Next project: Try this out on my jar of Mt. St. Helens ash. And next: make a plaster copy of my thumb and fingers so I can put some human fingerprints in a glob of genuine lava.

Now I need to try it on real pumice. SOmeone on sci.physics.electromag says that if it's dull red and used as decorative stone, then its actually slag from steel production. That explains the red color (pumice from the mediterranean is white, from pacific islands its dark grey.) I tryied to melt driveway stones. They didn't "catch." Quartz doesn't soften until it's brilliantly incandescent white, and it might not even have enough dissolved salts to be conductive anyway. Hmmmm. Salt...

When Christian missionaries first reached Santa The color scheme of his outfit is taken from the unmistakable red and white cap of the fungus. Lapps still scatter the mushroom in the snow to round up reindeer.

Here's the original: "Reindeer go crazy -literally crazy- for Amanita muscaria, the Fly Agaric, which the Lapp people traditionally used for its hallucinogenic effects. Lapp shamans used to eat the mushroom during the midwinter pagan ceremonies of annual renewal. The first effect of eating it was a deep coma-like slumber. When the shamans woke the drug stimulated their muscular systems, so that a small effort produced spectacular results- the intoxicated person perhaps making a gigantic leap to clear the smallest obstacle. The effect on animals was generally the same, and a mushroom-maddened super-reindeer traditionally guarded each shaman. When Christian missionaries first reached Santa's native Lapland, they found a thriving pagan myth of reindeer flight. Rather than oppose it, they shrewdly assimilated the stories into the folklore of Christmas and Saint Nicholas. This then, is the true origin of the legend of Santa's flying sleigh. The color scheme of his outfit is taken from the unmistakable red and white cap of the fungus. Lapps still scatter the mushroom in the snow to round up reindeer."

January's dorkbot is loosely ARCHITECTURALLY-THEMED, because one should always start a new year with an edifying experience - and with a little international mystery, too. ADMISSION IS FREE, and we'll have cocktails and a keg to hand to extend the holiday party season for one more night - so drag your fragile carcass through the snowdrifts for a warm and welcoming dorkbot 2004: it'll be great to see you! Presenters and performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MARK BAIN: VIBRATING BUILDINGS AND OTHER ESCAPADES. Amsterdam-based artist Mark Bain will be taking time out of a brief visit to Seattle, his home town, to discuss his work to date. In his own words, Mark "works on the interface of acoustics, architecture and actions of conceptual/experiential integration. For some time Bain has been involved in an ongoing research into the area of sound and architecture and how sonic events condition bodies and buildings they occupy. Other installations involve living systems and investigative devices that position the viewer into rarified experiences. In this work, he designs hybrid apparatuses that engage locations and the public. They are not necessarily products in themselves, but rather tools developed which lead to certain artistic ends. His research can be thought as a kind of divining, a loosening, a search for a living entity within that which is normally thought of as static and dead: architecture, structures, sites." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DAVID MAYMUDES: THE ART OF GETTING THERE. Seattle math whiz and computer software innovator David Maymudes is part of a cunning team working on a cunning plan that he'll divulge on Wednesday night. I know a little, but I'm not allowed to tell you in advance. Prepare to be amazed, amused and utterly convinced. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * KEVIN HIBIBER: MYSTERY PRESENTATION. Ballard's own Kevin Hibiber of dork supply mecca House of Science (http://www.houseofsciencecom ) will be sharing his extensive electronics expertise and artistic (interactive sound and light sculpture) credentials in a wild and woolly mystery presentation. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PERFORMANCE: DJ BIOS+A+IC (http://www.entropicadvancecom ) will spin cds featuring local and international sound sculptors and sonic architects. bios+a+ic is the solo alias of Wesley Davis of entropic advance. Wesley fuses ambient, noise, experimental, glitch and texture to create a lucid and encompassing musical environment. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 06: PEOPLE DOING STRANGE THINGS WITH ARCHITECTURE WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 7th JANUARY at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) BRING: Work in progress, anything you'd like to share or discuss DRESS: For snow, for mystery, for edification RSVP: PLEASE RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg as soon as you're able for this meeting.

ADMISSION: FREE, donations to CoCA encouraged * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As usual, if you'd like to speak, perform or curate a future dorkbot, just let Kate or Kathy know at dorkotsea(a)dorkbotorg Thanks as ever go to CoCA for supporting and hosting our dorkbot meetings. See you on the 7th - and don't hesitate to get in touch by email if you have any comments or questions in the meantime. http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea will be updated with more speaker and performance details, images etc. shortly.

Very weird. It was over Everett back in 1994, so I thought it must be induced by high-power Naval radar. The cloud in the middle of each "hole" looks very much like the bubble plume from Lake Nyos or gas from an undersea methane hydrate upheval or the Dresden Firestorm, except upside down. Once it gets going it self-perpetuates and spreads, so the descending air must drag more air down from above, triggering more ice to crystallize and continuing the outbreak. I bet it starts out as a tiny thing and then spreads outwards like a grass fire. I see these weird "cone" clouds all the time, but not the "hole" effect. ALso, these things are WRONG. They shouldn't go downwards like that. Crystallization should release heat, warming the surrounding air and creating a cloud which rises, same as with thunderstorms. The crystals must be growing so huge that they start settling downwards as a snowstorm (and the warmed air plume goes upwards invisibly above the visibe "cone.") Note that there's a much bigger (older?) hole in the cloud bank behind the more obvious hole in this photo: http://www.floridatodaycom/news/local/images/2000b/111200cloud1.jpg The whole sky in the photo must be "unstable", so that tiny triggers can set off outbreaks of cone-clouds and hole-growth.

Beaty has been goading Seattle's science hobbyists into action and leading them from the front since 1984 that s twenty years of bangs and whimpers (http//amascicom/wsci/). Remember Pond Machine II, Bill s shimmering, wriggling galvanometer-and- acrylic-strip vertically-mounted sculpture at last summer s People Doing Strange Things With Electricity show? That s just a start. This Wednesday, Bill is going to begin with holograms, and then take us on a journey to& somewhere. You might want to bring earplugs. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * KEVIN HIBIBER MYSTERY PRESENTATION& The Ballard-based founder of Seattle s weirdest and wonderfullest art/tech supply mecca, House of Science (http//www.houseofsciencecom), will be sharing his extensive electronics expertise and artistic (interactive sound and light sculpture) credentials in a wild and woolly mystery presentation. Expect the unexpected from a man whose career highlights span everything from a hazy slacker s life to vacuum tubes often at the same time. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DAVID MAYMUDES THE ART OF GETTING THERE& Seattle-based David Maymudes studied number theory, computer science and theoretical physics before spending a decade as a software architect and development lead at Microsoft. In 2000, David headed in to the outfield to work on PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) systems, studying the mathematical theory underlying them and the computer software necessary to implement them. He and his cohorts have come up with a notion that is extraordinarily elegant, reasonably priced, and at first glance, quite nuts.

Please join NWSFS for our February Social, The Pseudo Summer Solstice Spaghetti Sauce-Off on Saturday, February 21, 2004, at the Brathouse at 9431 126th Ave. NE in Kirkland. The social will begin at 5 P.M. and end at 10 P.M. (425) 822-2368 In case you aren't familiar with this event, NWSFS provides spaghetti, salad, and soft drinks. Contestants bring various spaghetti sauces that you may taste and then vote on. The contributors of the most popular sauces get small prizes. If you plan to bring a sauce, please bring at least a quart of sauce, and make some note of ingredients for those of us with food allergies or other restrictions. If you can, please bring a crock pot to keep your sauce warm, and a ladle. If you cannot bring a crock pot, please call ahead to make arrangements for use of a burner or other equipment in the kitchen. This is still something of a potluck. Please bring a contribution of munchies, side dish, or desert. To support the contest, there is a small fee for the Sauce - Off. The fee is $3 for NWSFS members and $5 for non members. As always, NWSFS members are encouraged to attend, and non-members in the community are welcome. We hope to see you there. At this social we be distributing copies of the 2003 Philip K. Dick Award nominated books for review at the March social (March 20) and for publication in Westwind. We will also be leading a book discussion on <> Logistical information: Smoking areas are outside. The house has cats, which are locked away for the social. The main entrance is up two small steps. Parking is on-street, and generally available. The closest bus stop is 1/3 mile away (2 blocks south, 1 blocks east), at the corner of 124th Ave. NE and NE 97th, and serves the #230 bus (transfer from Seattle at the Bellevue Transit Center). The last bus is at approximately 9:30 P.M. Directions: Take the 85th St. exit off of I-405 (Kirkland) and travel east on 85th. Go up the hill. Get into the left lane and after a couple of blocks, turn left onto 126th. It's not marked too well, but the landmark is the Safeway on the right and a Shell station on the left. Once on 126th, travel down the hill about two blocks. The road ends at a "T" intersection and the house is the last house on your left. It's light green. __________________ Michael Citrak Northwest Science Fiction Society - Vice Chair mcitrak(a)comcast.net www.nwsfsorg From weirdsci-announce-request(a)eskimocom Fri Feb 20 15:40:58 2004 Received: (from smartlst(a)localhost) by mx1.eskimocom (8.9.3/8.8.8) id PAA03897; Fri, 20 Feb 2004 15:40:46 -0800 Resent-Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 15:40:46 -0800 Status: O X-Status: Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 15:40:43 -0800 (PST) From: William Beaty Subject: WSCI: opens tonight, Consolidated Works Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <"t5vSO3.0.qy.zhfD01"(a)mx1> X-list: 441 Precedence: list Status: O See message below.

Its a pool of opaque blueish liquid with a large speaker submerged in it (not visible, facing up). The speaker plays a subaudible recording, causing the surface of the liquid to do some very interesting things. Its quite mesmerizing. Looks like there are some other technology-based works in the show as well.

With an approach grounded in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft, their material ranges from highly intricate compositions to playful circulated improvisations, from explosive harmonic polyrhythms to haunting melodies that take the breath away. The Atomic Chamber Ensemble, formerly known as the Seattle Guitar Circle, has appeared in and around Seattle since their formation in 1998. Some of the venues where they have performed include Bumbershoot, the Northwest Folklife Festival, On the Boards, the Seattle Art Museum, King Cat Theater, I-Spy, Vancouver TV, and various radio programs.

Some of the venues where they have performed include Bumbershoot, the Northwest Folklife Festival, On the Boards, the Seattle Art Museum, King Cat Theater, I-Spy, Vancouver TV, and various radio programs.

This month's meeting is all about DJs, VJs and the cutting-edge technologies they build and deploy to bring the most exciting music and visual effects to our night-time city. They'll show you how to use these techniques in your own audio+visual work, and then they'll do some virtuoso showing-off themselves with an all-star set. We'll also be hearing about DECIBEL, the first ever Northwest Electronic Music Festival, brainchild of Sean Horton (aka Nordic Soul - remember him dj-ing the original dorkbotsea meeting?), and happening here in Seattle this fall. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, though a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. We'll have a keg and cocktails, so don't forget to RSVP so we can make sure we buy enough tequila. We're looking forward to seeing you! Presenters and performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * RANDY JONES: LIVE AUDIO+VISUAL SHOWS - CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGY. Local musician, programmer and co-founder of Orac Records, Randy Jones, will discuss the ideas and technology behind the live audio+visual shows he has been doing since 2000. To make these shows possible, he created some new objects for the Max/MSP programming environment which later became part of Jitter, Cycling 74's video and matrix processing toolkit. Randy will show us what Jitter is about and talk about other works it has enabled, as well as works predating it which 'got him into this whole thing in the first place'. (http://2uptechcom/) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * KRIS MOON: TURN YOUR LAPTOP INTO A BATTLE MACHINE!. Seattle-based Kris Moon has been djing since 1993 (he currently shares the spotlight with a mechanical bull at a secret downtown location), and will be leveraging his long experience in the field to teach you how to ready your own machine for a live performance using Ableton Live, focusing on adjusting loops with envelopes, assigning keyboard hotkeys and using only the laptop with no controllers. A degree of familiarity with the basic operation of Ableton Live (http://www.abletoncom ) would be helpful, but is not essential for this presentation. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BRIAN THOMAS: RETHINKING THE LIVE MUSIC EXPERIENCE. Despite being an avid electronic music fan, local synthesizer addict Brian Thomas found the live performances associated with Electronica somewhat lackluster. His response: to create a new way to perform electronic music. The culmination of this effort is a new form of live experience that incorporates all the elements of a modern music performance: audio, video and lighting. Performance itself has been added back into the experience, since Brian will not be stuck behind a turntable or a laptop. With the intricacy and fullness of the whole experience, you may just forget that he is performing with all these elements- LIVE! (http://www.7Lawscom) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Q: WHAT IS DECIBEL? * A: Decibel is a four-day, multiple venue festival designed to expose the Northwest to both the international and regional electronic music scenes. Running from 9/23/04 - 9/26/04 inclusive, Decibel aims to educate as well as entertain through workshops, seminars, open discussion, comfortable venues, excellent sound, exciting performances, interesting visuals and a diverse selection of quality electronic music. The festival will focus on no predominant electronic music genre, but instead will emphasize the similarities that unite all forms of electronic music (synthesis, technology, dance, urban post-industrial culture, digital art), and will feature the work of talented local producers, label owners, DJs and performers alongside the artists that have influenced them from further afield. (http://www.decibelfestivalcom/). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PERFORMANCE: ALL-STAR SET featuring Randy Jones and Brian Thomas. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 08: DJs AND VJs DOING STRANGE THINGS WITHELECTRICITY WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 3RD MARCH at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) - NOTE NEW LOCATION BRING: Work in progress, anything you'd like to share or discuss DRESS: Dancing shoes!

Natural Medicines – A Skeptical View Almost everyone today takes some kind of vitamins, diet supplements, or herbal medicines. What is the evidence to support those practices? What really works and what doesn’t? Is “natural” better? Why might it be worse? How can you evaluate the claims of advertisers and alternative medicine practitioners? Hear some horror stories and learn how to protect your health and your pocketbook (and to insure that you are not one of the case stories in future presentations). Speaker: Harriet Hall, MD, alias “The SkepDoc.” Doctor Hall is a retired family physician/Air Force flight surgeon. She is medical advisor to the Quackwatch website and author of articles in the Skeptical Inquirer, Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine and Quackwatch. Doctor Hall tells us her presentation will include humor, sound effects and cute pictures of kittens. R.S.V.P. as soon as possible but not later than 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 16th. Please give us your choice of entree, (Chicken or Salmon) and number attending. Vegetarian or special diet meals available. Meals include salad, vegetable, rolls & coffee . Please e-mail your R.S.V.P to me at: mdennett(a)wecicom, or call me at home (253) 874-2260 - leave message if I’m not in - or either of my work numbers (425) 486-9499 x 214 or (253) 838-5445 - leave message if I’m not in.

I used to see a lot of different firewalls when doing tech support. Black Ice is crap. Period. They more or less all are. ZoneAlarm is probably the best of a bad lot. It works pretty well for the most part, though you do have to know what you're doing and configure it properly. I would recommend NOT getting the free version, and actually shelling out for ZoneAlarm Pro. It has better support than any other firewall, free or paid, on the market -- which is damn useful when it breaks and you have to clean it off your system.

The meal starts at 7:30. Ethiopian cuisine includes familiar ingredients like chicken, lamb, & beef prepared in traditional Ethiopian ways with unusual spices. The spices are not hot, except for beri-beri sauce, which you may add as you desire. Vegetarian dishes are also available. Our meal will be served family style on a large piece of njera, an Ethiopian flat bread. While knives and forks may be available, traditionally, the food is eaten with your fingers as you use a small piece of njera to pick up your food, with your right hand. Save a bit of room for pieces of the njera upon which the dishes were served - this njera absorbs the flavor of the dishes that rested upon it; and it's delicious, too. Another highlight is Tej, an Ethiopian mead - a honey wine which tastes very good with the Ethiopian dishes. The prices are moderate ~$10 per person. Kokeb is at 926 12th Ave. in Seattle near Seattle Central Community College. 206.322.0485. Parking is on the street, and usually not a problem, although you may have to park a block or so away. Do not park in the small lot adjacent to the restaurant as it belongs to another business and you may be towed! Directions: by car. Take your best route to I-90, either East or West. >From I-90 take the Rainier Ave S. NORTH. This is either your first exit if coming from I-5 or your last exit if coming from the East Side. Continue north, along Rainier Ave S, to the five-way intersection. At the five-way intersection, turn onto 12th, approximately due north, which is sort of straight through the intersection. Kokeb is on the right several blocks north of the five-way intersection.

Dorkbot de Mayo is TOMORROW, and I and everyone else=92ll pine if you don=92t show. Want to RSVP (to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg) to put me (temporarily) out of my misery? Full details below. K -------------------------------------- COCA Gallery, 410 Dexter Ave N (in the industrial zone just south of Lake Union, on Dexter, north of Denny Way and south of Mercer http://maps.yahoocom/py/maps.py?Pyt=3DTmap&addr=3D410+Dexter+Ave+N&zip= =3D98109 At 7.30 PM on WEDNESDAY, 5TH MAY at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg ), grab your margarita and hang on to your favourite nerdy hat (I hear WinHEC* is in town) as we serve up a blistering evening of presentations in VINTAGE DORKBOT style: NO themes, NO stratagems simply some of Seattle's most cutting-edge artists and technologists, LIVE AND DIRECT, sharing their work with you. Artist ELLEN ZIEGLER exposes the intricacies of working with photosensitive media and explores her past and present work, UW Professor of Digital Arts and Experimental Media Shawn Brixey discusses his favourite research projects, and an extraordinary people-sensing tag team consisting of *at least* TOBY PADDOCK, LAURA MACCARY and KEVIN HILBIBER give you a crash course, at breakneck speed, in capacitance and induction. Don't touch 'em they're electric! Unusually, this month we have NO performance instead, we'll have an OPEN DORK session when the presentations are over. The microphone is yours, so if you have a project you'd like to discuss, new technology to share, an event to promote or help to request, grab the microphone: we're waiting to hear from you. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, though a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. We'll have a keg and buckets of tequila, so RSVP to make sure we have enough salt, lemons and little umbrellas. See you on the 5th bring your work in progress, and your friends! Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ELLEN ZIEGLER: CHEMISTRY IS THE EMOTION OF MATTER=85 Whether working as an artist, collaborating on a public art project or bossing corporate CEOs as a graphic designer, chemistry (literal and metaphorical) has been vital to the work of Seattle-based artist Ellen Ziegler (http://www.ellenzieglercom ). Her work is shown locally and nationally, and includes installations incorporating water as a subject and medium, large works on paper using chemically-altered light-sensitive media, and public artworks, among them fountains and water features. Ellen will talk about her =93new and used=94 works and the processes (involving garden hoses, household chemicals and power tools) she has evolved to create them, and which, in her words, allow form to =93filter through the semi-permeable membrane of imagination=94. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SHAWN BRIXEY: TOO MANY TO LIST HERE=85 http://www.washington.edu/dxarts/faculty_home.php?who=3Dbrixey will tell you more about Associate Professor, Associate Director, extreme brush-hog wrangler and founder of the University of Washington=92s newly-established research center and PhD program in Digital Arts and Experimental Media, Shawn Brixey, and his extraordinary range of research projects, all of which marry art and technology in new and fascinating ways. Shawn has exhibited these works nationally and internationally, from Documenta to Karlsruhe to the Chicago Art Institute, and was a recipient of a 2003 Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship for New Media. He=92ll talk about a selection of his work, past, present =96 and future. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TOBY PADDOCK, LAURA MACCARY, KEVIN HILBIBER (and possibly more): SENSING PEOPLE, PART 1 (AKA =93NON-CONTACT PEOPLE-SENSING=94)=85 Local artists, technophiles and returning dorkbot-sea favourites Toby Paddock (http://www.seanetcom/~tpaddock/), Laura MacCary (http://www.maccarycom ) and Kevin Hilbiber (http://www.houseofsciencecom ) will take you on a mystical journey through the techniques that allow you to use electricity to tell if people are nearby without actually touching them, and the artistic possibilities that these techniques have sparked in their own practices. They=92ll discuss the Yin of Capacitance and Yang of Inductance, and manifestations of these phenomena from S. Lyn Goeringer and Otis Fodder=92s theremins to Laura=92s amazing, interactive, woven sculptures to the works-in-progress and completed projects in Toby=92s workshop and Ballard=92s magnificent House of Science. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OPEN DORK: This month, we will have NO performance. Instead, the floor is yours! Tell us about your work in progress. Are you an artist searching for a helpful scientist? A scientist looking for an artist you can collaborate with? Describe what you=92d like here! Do you have an event coming up? An intractable problem you=92d like us to resolve? A new discovery you=92d like to share? This is your crowd: wow us! Puzzle us! Frustrate us! Entertain us! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 10: BACK TO OUR ROOTS with ELLEN ZEIGLER, SHAWN BRIXEY, TOBY PADDOCK AND HIS ALL-STAR NON-CONTACT PEOPLE-SENSORS, plus ANYONE ELSE WHO FEELS LIKE TALKING WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 5th MAY at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) =96 NOTE NEW LOCATION BRING: Work in progress, anything you=92d like to share or discuss (pi=F1atas encouraged) DRESS: MARIACHI?

It is difficult to report a thing like this by e-mail, but I suppose I should. I deeply regret to announce that Eugene Mallove is dead. Apparently, he was murdered yesterday. I have few details, but he was killed in a dispute over rental property. His parents owned a house in Connecticut. They are now living an nursing home, and he rented out the house. The tenants apparently made a terrible mess, and he evicted them. He went to the house a few days ago to clean up the mess. Someone killed him, took the car, and left it around five miles away. I have no information about funeral arrangements. I will post another message when I hear something. - Jed From weirdsci-announce-request(a)eskimocom Mon May 17 13:06:59 2004 Received: from ultra6.eskimocom (IDENT:smartlst(a)ultra6.eskimo.com [127.0.0.1]) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i4HK6jF1021064; Mon, 17 May 2004 13:06:45 -0700 Received: (from smartlst(a)localhost) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i4HK6cFg021010; Mon, 17 May 2004 13:06:38 -0700 Resent-Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 13:06:38 -0700 Status: O X-Status: Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 13:07:24 -0700 (PDT) From: William Beaty Subject: WSCI: re:Dreadful news Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: X-list: 496 Precedence: list Status: O Gene Mallove Tribute http://www.newenergytimescom/news/DrEugeneMallove-JM.htm More info at http://www.escribecom/science/vortex/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 07:26:11 -0700 From: Steve Krivit To: vortex-l(a)eskimocom Subject: Re: funeral news Monday 5/17 7:20 am PST (Monday 5/17 7:20 am PST -- Via phone from Christy: Funeral Services, as conveyed to her by Les Case are Tuesday, 11:00am at Temple Beth Jacob, in Concord N.H. on Broadway Street.) - Steve From weirdsci-announce-request(a)eskimocom Sat May 15 15:34:50 2004 Received: from ultra6.eskimocom (IDENT:smartlst(a)ultra6.eskimo.com [127.0.0.1]) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i4FMYi5L014087; Sat, 15 May 2004 15:34:44 -0700 Received: (from smartlst(a)localhost) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id i4FMYRmB014022; Sat, 15 May 2004 15:34:27 -0700 Resent-Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 15:34:27 -0700 Status: O X-Status: Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 15:34:57 -0700 (PDT) From: William Beaty Subject: WSCI: U-district street fair today/tomorrow Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <3x0A9D.A.CbD.zrppAB(a)ultra6.eskimocom> X-list: 493 Precedence: list Status: O DOH!
