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.

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. BEATY, Pond Machine II , a vertical liquid surface * CANTON BECKER, Udderthump 2000 , a portable sound transducing platform that lets you feel as well as hear music created by Carlos da Silva * CARLOS DA SILVA, an original musical composition designed to provide a sonic backdrop for the entire exhibition * MEREDITH FINKELSTEIN, Cyborg Self-Portrait , an acrylic painting incorporating LCDs * DAVIS FREEMAN, two digitally-printed photographs created using Davis s Illustratype Polaroid process * S.

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.) Advertising, not science. Anyway, for those with interest: Seattle "Inventor's Weekend" http://ionvalvecom/iw/2003/conference2003.htm Decker's anti-Perrault site http://www.nuscamcom/ About the concealed liars found everywhere in society: see Peck's book "PEOPLE OF THE LIE."

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: X-Keywords: X-UID: 105 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. I guess that means we should leave in the early afternoon on saturday the 15th (or perhaps leave at noon.) (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

"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. Thousand-watt pyrex microwave candle. Ooops! Good thing I left the oven door closed. After about two minutes the bottle went "tink!" and flew into hot shards as it cooled and contracted.

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...

Me, I just wish they would move Christmas to another part of the year, one when all the stores are less crowded. Oops, the last message was screwed up by windows cut-paste. 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.

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.

Presenters and performance * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BILL BEATY FROM HOLOGRAMS TO A BIG BANG& Weird Science Salon Founder and mad professor emeritus William J. 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. See what you think! http//www.gettherefastorg/. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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, who fuses ambient, noise, experimental, glitch and texture to create a lucid and encompassing musical environment. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary WHAT dorkbot 07 MAD SCIENTISTS DOING STRANGE THINGS WITH ART AND TECHNOLOGY WHEN WEDNESDAY, 4th FEBRUARY 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 Safely.

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: X-Keywords: X-UID: 154 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.

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!

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. Please RSVP by Monday evening to the NWSFS hotline at 360.468.0871, or by email to info(a)nwsfsorg __________________ Michael Citrak Northwest Science Fiction Society - Vice Chair mcitrak(a)comcast.net www.nwsfsorg PS.

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.

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.

The social will begin around 4 PM and continue until around 10 PM or whenever people feel like leaving. The address is: 7100 187th Place SW Lynnwood WA 98037 email: Yvonne: ypawtows(at)eskimocom Eric: epawtows(at)elfieorg. As usual, this is a potluck, so bring your contribution of a main dish (occasionally have enough), side dish (rarely have enough), munchies (usually have enough), or desert (often have enough, if there is such a thing as enough desert). Bring your own beverages if you want something particular, although some basic beverages will be available. There will be a grill in operation (weather permitting) which anyone is welcome to use. There is also a small hottub, if anyone feels like soaking themselves. If you have folding chairs please bring them because there may be a shortage- Eric and Yvonne haven't gotten around to doing much furnature shopping. The book under discussion will be Declare by Tim Powers. NWSFS members are encouraged to attend, and non members in the SF/Fannish community are welcome, as always. We hope to see you there. This is also the Nominations meeting for next year's Science Fiction Northwest (SFN) / Northwest Science Fiction Society (NWSFS). Logistics: There is parking on the street near the house. arking in the driveway is okay, you don't need to worry about blocking the garage. Usually it's not hard to find parking. The neighborhood has a lot of hills, so be so be careful. There are three stairs leading to both entrances. The back door doesn't have stairs, but the path is too narrow for a wheelchair, and possibly more trouble than it's worth. There are no domesticated animals living there, yet. Smoking is outside only, please. Driving Directions: >From Northbound I-5: o Take exit 181-A. o Turn left at the stoplight at the end of the exit - 44th Ave. Turn left at the second stoplight - 200th St. o Turn right when the road ends at Edmonds Community College - 68th Ave. o Go straight at the stoplight with 196th St. *** see below >From Southbound I-5: o Take exit 181. o Merge onto 196th St., Westbound o Go straight for a while, you will cross Highway 99. o Turn right at the second stoplight after 99, this is 68th Ave. *** Take 68th Ave. north.

They'll be bringing art - from 2D to sculpture to video - and describing the importance of art + protest in today's political climate, along with the hows and whys of the works they've built. Self-trained artist JOSHUA BROWN will be presenting his Electric Babysitters and the Cultural Reclamation Project, professional still photographer and Cartist LARRY NIELSON will discuss digital documentary film making and internet publishing, and veteran protester, mutineer, Indymedia agitator and public access TV presenter RANDY ROWLAND will give "a short course in stopping those who will stop at nothing". Local media artist, writer and composer MARK TAYLOR-CANFIELD will show and discuss his video work, PAUL LUKSCH will bring an interactive TV coconut shy, and dorkbot favourite DJ BIOS+A+IC will spin before and after the presentations. Could you miss this? What does your conscience say?? Whatever your politics, come down and bring your friends - but DON'T WEAR YOUR FLYEST DUDS: CoCA is remodeling, and although they'll clean up beforehand, construction dust is a possibility. Because of construction, we'll have beer and wine; cocktails may be limited (but we'll see what we can do) - and as ever, RSVP so we can predict numbers. Space is limited this month, so come early to claim your throne. ADMISSION IS FREE; a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged (you'll see why when you see the venue.!). Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOSHUA BROWN: ELECTRIC BABYSITTERS and the CULTURAL RECLAMATION PROJECT. self-trained artist, creative director of the Artistic Media Group (http://www.artisticmedia.biz/) and VP of Northwest Cyber Artists Productions, Joshua discusses how and why he made these works, describing the effect of presenting familiar technologies from a skewed perspective (Electric Babysitters), and using large-scale graphical reproduction equipment not typically used for non-commercial purposes to create the Cultural Reclamation Project. He is "working hard to realize a better world through art by creating culture responsibly: I believe that art CAN save the world". * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LARRY NIELSON: HOW I BECAME A DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER IN 12 EASY MONTHS. A professional still photographer and car artist ("Cartist") for many years, Larry Neilson had hardly held a video camera in his hands until January 2003, when he began a course in digital video for the Web. A few weeks later he found himself in the swirl of history in the making as he filmed the record-setting February 15 peace march through downtown Seattle, an event which changed his life. Amazed by the power of the medium - a film made on his own desktop computer at home - he has been exploring the theme and refining his skills ever since. He will share his results, anecdotes of the journey, and thoughts on digital video's relevance to grass-roots independent media, showing 3 short Quicktime movies about the peace movement and the need for peace in our lives while also discussing the technicalities of digital filmmaking and publishing to the web. http://www.cityofart.net/sample.html . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * RANDY ROWLAND: THE POWER IN THE IMAGE: A SHORT COURSE IN STOPPING THOSE WHO WILL STOP AT NOTHING. Anybody who dreams of a better future for our planet than the Grim Reapers Who Run Things has to come up against the question "How do you stop those who will stop at nothing?" Guerilla artists and journalists have a plan, and veteran protester Randy Rowland, of the PepperSpray Productions Indymedia video collective, will tell us what that is. Randy was one of the "Presidio 27" anti-Vietnam War mutineers convicted of mutiny in 1968. In 1989, he was the "veteran who napalmed 1,000 US flags" the moment US flag-burning became illegal, the resulting case prompting the Supreme Court's overturning of that law. Ever since, he has been curating and creating politically aware art-focused projects from the Labor Films Screening Series to his weekly public access TV show, Indymedia Presents. (http://www.thinksmallorg/pepperspray/). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MARK TAYLOR-CANFIELD: MYSTERY VIDEO WORKS. These works are only mysterious because Mark hasn't told us what he'll be showing yet - but his long-term dedication to art and protest began with his time as his high school's Student Body President, during which he focused on fighting for student self-governance and antagonizing local authorities, and spans his infamous arrest during his own performance at Seattle Symphony's Benaroya Hall ("Composer Nabbed, Piano Saved" - Seattle Weekly), along with numerous articles, performance pieces and consistent challenges to the local artistic and political status quo. A classically-trained musician and composer who also works with electronic, computer and experimental music, Mark a well-known and sometimes controversial fixture in the Northwest. He also writes and works with video and other media. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performance: * DJ BIOS+A+IC 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 (http://www.entropicadvancecom/). Wesley fuses ambient, noise, experimental, glitch and texture to create a lucid and encompassing musical environment. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * More about the WEAPONS OF MASS DistrACTION Project: * "America's system of government relies on citizens as the ultimate check and balance to its power, and on the media to provide citizens with objective reporting on trends and events. The Weapons of Mass DistrACTION Project's mission is to safeguard this system by fighting media consolidation and bolstering independent media sources. The Project mobilizes the talents and resources of the artistic community to raise funds, educate the public, and provide vital links between artists, activists and voters. http://www.weaponsofmassdistrACTIONprojectorg". * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 11: WEAPONS OF MASS distrACTION PROJECT WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 2ndh JUNE at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) - NOTE NEW LOCATION, and that CONSTRUCTION is in progress BRING: Work in progress, and open mind, anything you'd like to share or discuss DRESS: DOWN, in case of CONSTRUCTION DUST - hardhats optional (but so Village People chic) RSVP: PLEASE RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg.

K ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Subject: Art seized as weapon of mass destruction I was at this artshow Sunday (Interventionists (a) Mass MoCA) It's for real, there's an empty display where there should be technicians testing food for GMO content. It seems that knowing what you're eating is dangerous. Scary thing is that the entire art collective's being subpeonad, and since one is a non-citezen here on a visa, she could conceivably be "disappeared". Tell your rich art-loving friends to donate to their defense fund... ------- Forwarded Message Subject: Critical Art Ensemble and the FBI Hola folks, Many of you have probably heard that the artist Steve Kurtz was detained by the FBI and is now being investigated under the Homeland Security Act. He and the collective he is in, Critical Art Ensemble, were preparing a really cool installation for a show on interventionist art at MASS MOCA. The piece had lab equipment that allowed a visitor to bring any kind of food and have it tested for genetically modified organisms. Here is a description of the piece: Free Range Grain is a live, performative action. CAE/da Costa/Shyu has constructed a portable, public lab to test foods for the more common genetic modifications. People bring us foods that they find suspect for whatever reason, and we test them over a 72-hour period to see if their suspicions are justified. While we will not be able to say conclusively that a given food is genetically modified (although we can offer strong probability as whether it is), we can test for conclusive negatives, and we can bring issues of food purity into the realm of public discourse. You can get more info about this piece at website: http://www.critical -art.net/biotech/free/index.html and more info about their work generally at http://www.critical-art.net. While we were at MASS MOCA at the opening of the intervenionist show (minus the seized installation), two other members of Critical Art Ensemble were served with subpoenas for a grand jury. The subpoenas indicated that the FBI is moving forward with charging Steve of creating biological weapons for this art piece! There is more info about the case, at http://www.rtmark.com/CAEdefense/ These are very serious charges that will be hard to fight and could lead to a drawn out trial. Steve is going to need our help to stay out of jail! Since we were all there at MASS MOCA, we talked about a couple of things we can do immediately to help. The first is to bring as much publicity as possible to the case while contextualizing the work that Critical Art Ensemble has been doing in the field of biotechnology. A second it to work together to fundraise for legal fees - unfortunately, criminal attorneys do not do pro bono work. The third, for the moment, is to join the listserve mentioned below to remain updated on actions being taken to support Steve and the collective.

UPCOMING TOPIC The next geek meet session will feature a multimedia presentation and discussion of SpaceShot 2004: the world's first amateur rocket to reach outer space. Here's a link with more info: http://www.civilianspacecom/ PRESENTER The presenter will be Steven McMacken, a member of the Civilian Space eXploration Team (CSXT) since the project began in 1998 and continuing through launches in 2000 and 2002 and the most recent launch into space (confirmed altitude of 77 miles. "Space" officially begins at 62 miles). We are hoping that Steve will be joined by phone by the head of the avionics team, who will describe the electronics and control systems on the rocket. TIME The session will be held Monday, July 26 at Noon-1:30. LOCATION The meeting will be held on the 29th floor of the IDX tower at 925 Fourth Avenue. Entrances to the building are located on both 3rd and 4th Avenue (cross streets are Marion and Madison) and parking is available in the building. GEEK MEET BACKGROUND For those of you that have not attended a previous geek meet session, here is an introduction: The Geek Meet is a science/technology discussion group. It meets intermittently. It is very informal. Current attendees should feel comfortable inviting interested friends to join them at future meetings. If you know of someone who would like to be included on future geek meet mailings, please send me a mail at scottd(a)prestongatescom . If you no longer want to be included in geek meet e-mailings, please send me a mail asking to be removed from the list. The meetings are held at the offices of Preston Gates & Ellis LLP, 925 Fourth Avenue (the IDX Building), on the 29th floor. The meetings are held at lunchtime and are a brown bag (bring your own lunch) format. We provide beverages and cookies. Prior sessions have included the following topics: Extraction of DNA (and RNA) from sweet peas using household chemicals (alcohol, meat tenderizer and dish soap) Review of comparative studies of the sodium-D-Glucose Co Transport System in Rabbits and Dogfish (Squalus Acanthias) An overview of bioterrorism legislation and associated public policy issues Review of carnivorous plant forms and their prey-trapping systems Genomics, gene expression and DNA arrays Grizzly Bear behavior and ecology Marsupial and monotreme anatomy Balancing robots Presentation on national science policy topics by Congressman Brian Baird "How does the biology of the brain make perception and behavior possible?" - The blowfly model, presented by the Program Director of Sensory Systems of the Division of Integrative Biology and Neuroscience at the National Science Foundation Muscle metabolism, marathoning and music - A musical presentation of biochemistry topics and the role of ATP. Future sessions are in the works for presentations on mycology, robotics, telecommunications technologies, food sciences, computer hacking, bats in the northwest, superstring theory, online gaming, chemistry topics, pharmacology, nanotechnology, geology, oceanography, botany, biological colloids, theories of upper-dimensional space, archaeology, and various other topics. We are VERY interested in hearing from folks that are willing to make presentations at future sessions. If you are willing to do so, please send a reply mail so that we can discuss topics and dates. We will buy lunch for anyone willing to present/lead a discussion. Again, this is VERY informal and meant to be fun and interesting, so no fancy presentations are required (although cool demonstrations are always appreciated and very well received). Questions? call me at 206-370-5896 or e-mail scottd(a)prestongatescom I hope to see you at the next meeting.

Artis is known world wide for his passion and virtuosity. He has shared the stage with Frank Zappa, cites Roland Kirk as a major influence, and has been a source of inspiration for artists across many genres. Seattle's Michael Bisio has been around the block and eagerly awaits the next curve. Dustin Riecan is a young bassist/composer of extraordinary promise and ability. Portland's Office Products is Doug Theriault (guitar) and David Chandler (effects, sampler and drum-pads). They combine free-improv and musique concrete techniques into very fast, difficult, yet humorous music. Doug is also in the duo Dual and performs regularly in ad hoc improvisational contexts. All of his projects concern the use of Music Improvisation in its many forms and contexts. David also records electro-influenced music under the name Solenoid. Diskono, Illegal Art, and Pharmacy Recordings have released their work. PERFORMER BIOS ARTIS THE SPOONMAN Artis the Spoonman is a living myth. Since 1972 he has created a state-of-the-art cultural legend. From the sidewalks and bars of Seattle, San Francisco, Manhattan, Sidney, London, Dublin, Munich and Singapore, to the theatres of Broadway, the stages of International and National television and the recording studios of Frank Zappa and Soundgarden, his spellbinding, faster-than-the-eye-can-track spoonplaying has been a passionate rhythm enhancement for Rock, Fusion, Folk, Jazz, Bluegrass, Classical and Uncatagorizable music, virtually everywhere. His avante-garde percussion, coupled with his contagious spirit, will change your life - or at least your ideas on cutlery ... "... best spoonplayer in the whole damn universe" - Pete Seeger "What did he eat for breakfast, gunpowder?" - Lacy J. Dalton "Finally, some real music" - Mickey Hart Artis has shared the stage with: Jim Page, Frank Zappa, Aerosmith, Steve Goodman, The Flying Karamazov Brothers, David Sanborn, Lacy J. Dalton, Peter Rowan, Jethro Burns, RamblinJack Elliot, Utah Phillips, Pete Seeger, k.d.lang, Bob Weir, Avner the Eccentric, Soundgarden, Itzhak Perlman, The Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, Zakir Hussein, Queen Ida, Ani DiFranco, Phish, Left Over Salmon, The Radiators, String CheeseIncident, Pele Juju and Alice DiMicele, just to name a few. ... has performed on: "Spoonman", Grammy Award-winning song and MTV video by Soundgarden Late Night with David Letterman, USA TV Night Music with David Sanborn, USA TV Further Festival Tour 1996, USA A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, USA RADIO The Paul Daniels Show, BBC TV Blue Peter, BBC TV Livewire, Nickelodian Children's TV, USA Chikyu Dombori, FUJI TV, JAPAN Broadway with Avner The Eccentric, NYC Broadway with Itzhak Perlman, NYC ... and at events throughout the world: Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Colorado, USA EXPO '88, Brisbane, Queensland, AUSTRALIA FOLK & ROCK FESTIVALS; Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Canmore, North Country Faire, & Calgary, CANADA; Seattle's Northwest Folklife, High Sierra Music Festival, Sierra Nevada Music & Craft Festival, USA; Hultsfred, SWEDEN; & Rudolstadt, GERMANY CHILDREN'S FESTIVALS; Vancouver, Winnipeg, Prince George, Regina, CANADA, & Seattle, USA FRINGE FESTIVALS; Edinburgh, SCOTLAND; Edmonton, CANADA; Seattle, USA Elephant Faire; Plymouth, ENGLAND Bumberdrum; Bumbershoot Festival, Seattle, USA Oregon Country Faire; USA, 25+ years consecutively ... and much, much more since 1974. MICHAEL BISIO Bassist/improviser/composer Michael Bisio's life in creative music has led to many wonderful and rich associations. As well as leading his own critically acclaimed ensemble, he is currently a member of Joe McPhee's Bluette and the Joe Giardullo Quartet. Other artists Michael has performed and/or recorded with include Charles Gayle, Sonny Simmons, Marilyn Crispell, Bob Nell, John Tchicai, Diedre Murray, Eyvind Kang, Luc Houtkamp, Rob Blakeslee, Bill Smith, Tani Tabbal, Frank Gratkowski, Stuart Dempster, Barbara Donald, and Saadet Turkoz. In recent years Michael has explored the possibilities of solo bass. Michael's passion for the music is consistently cited by music critics. In his review of the Joe Giardullo Quartet's Now Is (Drimala Records), Eduardo Chagas called Michael "...a poet of the contrabass." Writing about MBEK (Meniscus) for Paris Transatlantic, Dan Warburton stated that "Bisio's big sound (imagine a fearsome meta-bassist synthesizing Oscar Pettiford, Charlie Haden, and Peter Kowald and you're on the right track) is the perfect foundation for Kang to build his elaborate constructions on." John Ephland, reviewing Undulations (OmniTone) in Downbeat, writes "In the end, while influences are heard, the sound and approach are clearly Bisio's own." DUSTIN RIECAN Dustin Riecan has been composing and recording music for the past ten years. The composer and bassist for the popular Tacoma based hip-hop group, the Biznautics, he has written music for numerous ensembles encompassing a variety of genres (pop, rock, orchestral, folk, experimental, funk and soul). He has recently written an animated series, The Red Journal Series, in which he will produce, direct and score. *********************************** DOUG THERIAULT Doug Theriault, based in Portland, Oregon, works in improvisational live performance. For over a decade he has presented his work all over the United States with a wide variety of musicians and in many festivals. All of his projects concern the use of improvisation in its many forms and contexts. His work is informed by Michel Waisaivz, Masayuki Takayanagi, Hugh Davies,and Derek Bailey. He is mostly concerned with playing in adhoc improvisational contexts. New CD available from Toast and Jam recordings: http://www.tandjreccom/main.html Other recordings from Theriault can be obtained here: http://www.newandimprovcom/Theriault/ NO BIO AVAILABLE FOR DAVID CHANDLER *********************************** Polestar Music Gallery 1412 18th Avenue (at East Union) Seattle WA 98122 USA (206) 329-4224 http://www.polestarmusicorg ABOUT POLESTAR...

Beaty SCIENCE HOBBYIST website billb(a)eskimocom http://amasci.com EE/programmer/sci-exhibits amateur science, hobby projects, sci fair Seattle, WA 206-789-0775 unusual phenomena, tesla coils, weird sci GOD OF THE GNATS On NPR "Livng on Earth", an entemologist mentioned that swarms of gnats will move towards anything that emits the low humming sound of female gnat wings. Apparently you can "suck" an entire cloud of (male?) gnats towards you by humming with low pitch... and they'll stop drifting the instant you stop the sound. Two people can "pull" the insect cloud back and forth between them. But... does this mean that gnat-clouds are always male? Really? Maybe instead, your humming is screwing up the gnat navigation. If the gnat-cloud can remain on station while ignoring small breezes, they're doing something exotic, and perhaps the incoming sound waves at nearly their wing-beat frequency causes them to misjudge their horizontal speed, so the whole cloud moves towards the sound source. I wonder what various frequencies will do to the cloud. Maybe you could play a very special tune to them, and cause the gnat-cloud to sculpt itself into shapes. Letters. Ads for Pepsi, etc. billb USA - Wednesday, August 04, 2004 at 18:06:49 (PDT) Dare to be Different Besides singing loudly where others can hear, have you ever dared to think out loud while walking? Start a long loud conversation with yourself? Nowdays it's possible: just get an old defunct cellphone and an earphone. Sit in the park with the cellphone in your lap and say anything you want, right out loud. Nobody will care. (Just don't dare to try this WITHOUT an obvious cellphone and headset!) Hmmm. To throw a scare into the more observant passersby, just talk out loud while wearing a headset, but leave the connector dangling loose in your lap with no cellphone visible. :) billb USA - Wednesday, August 04, 2004 at 18:03:38 (PDT) Paralize your hand. GUERRILLA ART MEME Kids tie their old sneakers together and then pitch them over a phone line. Harness their raw power, little one! Print out a sign you've designed, seal it with clear spray paint, glue it onto cardboard, and then find a rock or a large iron bolt and a length of twine. Tie the rock to the sign, and hurl them over a phone line above a street. How many years will it remain there, twirling in the breeze? (Um... be sure to make the sign large enough to read from a distance! Testing is required...) Print two different words, one on each side, so it flashes them alternately while it spins. bill b. USA - Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 12:29:21 (PDT) POP YOUR EYEBALL WITH A FORK At a restaurant with friends, give everyone the jitters by playing with a fork very close to your eyeball. Use the tines to pull your eyelid down, etc. Everyone is creeped out. Now take one of those tiny plastic cups of ultrapasturized creamer, cup it in your hand and hold it up to your eye without anyone noticing, use the fork to poke holes in the paper lid (looks like you're stabbing your eye,) then squeeze the cup and scream while dropping the fork! White gunk will squirt all over the table. This one comes from Penn & Teller's PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, a book that readers of this website just GOTTA have! Twisted insightful tricks by vengeful nerd social outcasts. bill b. USA - Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 12:29:21 (PDT) BIG GIANT HEAD Get two identical cola cans or yogurt cups or bottles of white-out. Place them in front of you on the desk, a couple of inches apart horizontally, then rotate them so they look identical. Then cross your eyes so you see three of them. Concentrate on the middle one, and tilt your head a bit so it isn't doubled (maybe rotate one object until the middle one looks perfect.) The middle object looks perfectly 3D... but it's tiny! Actually, the angles of your eyes make them act farther apart than usual, as if your head was huge. OK, now carefully grasp the two objects and very slowly draw them apart while concentrating on the middle one. It will get smaller and smaller while staying exactly the same size. (Or your head will grow larger and larger.) bill b. USA - Sunday, July 11, 2004 at 12:20:47 (PDT) LOBSTER BOY! Cross your fingers, and curl your middle finger around your index finger. Now grab your ring finger and curl it over the back of your curled middle finger. Do the same with your pinky. Your hand looks damaged. LOBSTER BOY!! Now do the same with the other hand too. LOBSTER BOY IS HERE TO TAKE AWAY THE BAD CHILDREN. bill b USA - Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at 18:44:59 (PDT) GIANT CLOWN LIPS In front of a mirror, stick out your lower lip. Curl it way down using fingers. Now stick out your tongue at the same time and use it to push your lower lip down. Presto, GIANT CLOWN LIPS! Now make lobster-boy hands and cross one eye as well. Too bad the giant clown lips make gleeking impossible. bill b USA - Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at 18:41:34 (PDT) MISPLACE YOUR HEAD Stolen from Michael Jackson "Thriller" video. Stand facing away from friends. Bend your head down, chin resting on chest, and hunch your shoulders up a bit. Your friends will see your head TOTALLY DISAPPEAR. Stagger around while feeling the empty spot with hands. Make noises like a wet esophagus. bill b USA - Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at 18:41:34 (PDT) MONSTER STATIC DISCHARGES Another good one: buy some "snap-n-pops"; the little paper-wrapped sand balls that go "bang" when stepped on. Find a colleague who is working on live electronic equipment. Hold up a snapper and twiddle it in your fingers HARD. The little explosion sounds EXACTLY like an accidental short to 120V, or maybe like a capacitor discharge. Now scuff on the rug, then twiddle a snapper while touching somebody on the elbow. The "bang" sounds like the world's most painful electric spark. (Obviously this is for the benefit of onlookers, since your victim felt nothing.) bill b USA - Tuesday, July 06, 2004 at 18:41:34 (PDT) COLA CAN BEATBOX Crush two sides of a coke can inwards, but only near the top, then rotate it 90deg and crush two sides inwards near the bottom. Now push the top and bottom together (or stomp on it) and it very easily collapses into a small round puck. Now pull it partway apart again and you'll hear all sorts of snaps and poings. Push it in and out and the sequence of poings will play forwards and back like a recording. It's a mechanical beatbox sequencer, a toy marimba, a percussion accordian. Make mouthsounds to accompany the noises (such as whistling while humming, or sucking lips to make swarms of mosquitoes.)

Hey Guerrillas! Have you been curled up in the fetal position, crying yourself to sleep at night? Visiting your therapist a little more often this week? Watching lots of Jerry Springer? Good! Then you're ready to dress up and join the fun of "CHILDHOOD TRAUMA" at Manray tomorrow nite at 10pm. Had a perfect childhood and not sure what to wear? Just think of all the horrible things that could've happened to you growing up: a horrible dog bite, a creepy uncle, drinking drano, being put in a baby beauty pageant, or walking in on your parents while they were 'expressing their love for one another physically'... the list goes on and on. So channel your traumatized inner child, dress up, and join the fun tomorrow nite - Saturday August 7th - at 10pm at Manray (514 East Pine St). Dirty Bunny will be attempting to embody "Every Lie Your Parents Ever Told You" -- how could you pass up seeing that spectacle? And if you're looking for something to do tonite, or a little pre- party entertainment tomorrow, GMP regulars Sylvia O'Stayformore and Mark "Mom" Finley are performing with the Lady Bunny (no relation) and The Lady Chablis in "The Dixie Queen Road Show" at the Paramount Theater. They've personally invited us to come on down in costume and enjoy the show. Tickets are $22.00 - $37.00, and the show runs 8pm-10pm.

If we could figure out how to make transparent electrodes, we could make our own Electroluminescent panels using this stuff: Dupont Luxprint electroluminescent silkscreen ink http://www.dupontcom/mcm/luxprint/about.html Here's a possible source for transparent conductor, glass or plastic: ITO Indium-Tin-Oxide coated glass and PET plastic sheets http://www.sigmaaldrichcom/Area_of_Interest/Chemistry/Materials_Science/Display_and_Photovoltaics/Indium_Tin_Oxide_Slides.html An EL panel is a light-emitting capacitor, where the bottom layer is metal, the insulating layer is a phosphor, and the upper layer is a transparent conductor, and high-freq, high voltage is applied to the two electrodes. (120VAC works, but high frequency and or high voltage gives higher current for the same microfarads.) Or rather than a transparent conductor, perhaps it's possible to just use very thin wires (such as Lytex "neon wires" which have a very thin wire wrapped around the glowing plastic stuff, and perhaps the plastic itself has no transparent conductor? Or maybe the plastic has a conducive film, but needs a wire as a current-distribution buss.)) Glowing fabric? Possibly make your own very thin "neon wire"; heavily coat some metal wire with Luxprint ink, then weave it into cloth where the horizontal wires have the EL coating, and the vertical wires are extremely thin and uncoated. Then connect all the horizontal wires to each other (vert also) and apply the high voltage. Or... maybe if we weave some cloth from standard insulated magnet wire, paint it with a heavy coat of luxprint ink, then hook the horizontal and vertical wires to the power supply, the stuff will glow. Crude experiment: coat a metal cylinder with Luxprint ink, then wind a very thin wire around the cylinder, with big gaps between the windings. When high voltage is applied, is the glow visible? Or is all the glow only occurring under the thin wire?

Note that parking is... difficult. Coming from the south, going north on I-5, in Seattle, take the E. Olive Way exit (down in the tunnel.) Continue on Olive, after a few blocks turn left onto Broadway at the light.

I have several free tickets. Each ticket admits two. Tell me if you want to attend, and I'll mail you tickets. First come first served. Arrive early as a ticket does not guarantee you a seat, as they over book to insure a full theater. This is standard for special screenings. Some times they fill up and some times they don't. I may limit tickets as needed. Email at: mcitrak at comcast dot net or call the NWSFS Hotline at 360-438-0871. Below is from the press release: __________________ Michael Citrak Northwest Science Fiction Society - Vice Chair mcitrak(a)comcast.net www.nwsfsorg 1 =============================== On Sept. 10, Warner Bros. and Lucasfilm Ltd. will release the fully restored director?s cut of George Lucas?s first film, THX 1138. For a limited time, it can be experienced in theaters as it was originally intended, and will be playing in Seattle at the Cinerama Theatre. THX 1138 was made in 1971, a time of extraordinary innovation, creativity and experimentation in American film. It was the debut not only of George Lucas, but also of American Zoetrope, the revolutionary independent studio founded by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. THX 1138 is a revelation ? it shows what is possible by a cinema-school graduate making a feature film on a low budget. An expansion of George?s award-winning student film THX 1138 4EB, it was made by artists who did not feel constrained by convention ? who wanted only to make a thought-provoking film that would be visually and aurally rich and rewarding. >From its unusual non-linear story structure to its sometimes shocking use of light, sound, color and camera techniques, THX 1138 showcases remarkable technique that we think you will find both compelling and insightful. The newly restored THX 1138 will also be released on DVD on Sept. 14. Rated "R", some sexuality/nudity. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

This WEDNESDAY, 6TH OCTOBER at 7.30 PM at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg ), bring out your robots - or at least your tinfoil hats and antennae - for an amazing, all-mechatronic night of robot-friendly discussion as dorkbot-sea (http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea) gets back to business after a summer break. Internet men of mystery PABLOS and ERIC JOHANSON bring you HACKERBOT, the world's first hacker robot. International man of mystery JAMES COUPE, fresh off the boat from Blighty and now manifesting at the UW's Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media, ponders the metaphysical essence of robot. Intergalactic man of mystery MICHAEL J. LAINE discusses the role of robotics in realizing the first SPACE ELEVATOR by 2018, and Seattle Robotics Society enigma LARRY BARELLO tells us how and why he built his BALANCING ROBOT. Local DJ and roboticist JOSH HERRALA spins sets featuring material from his own DELUXE CURL RECORDS label before and after the presentations - and before his final set, we'll have a ROBOT SHOW-AND-TELL OPEN DORK session for anyone wishing to discuss a robot they've built or a relevant technology of which they're particularly fond. When we say "BRING OUT YOUR ROBOTS", we aren't kidding: please, do bring your working, partially-assembled or drawing-board-only robotics project and show it off as modestly or as shamelessly as you'd like. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, although a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. CoCA's brand new and completely swanky mezzanine bar will be open for your business, and as usual, please do RSVP to make sure we have enough lubricant for everyone. We'll look forward to seeing you and your friends - human and otherwise - on the 6th! For more details, read on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PABLOS AND ERIC JOHANSON: WI-FI HACKERBOT (PUTTING THE 'BOT' BACK IN 'DORKBOT'). Notorious internet met of mystery Pablos and Eric Johanson work on crypto, security and privacy-related projects with The Shmoo Group (http://shmooconorg), and have built the first hacker robot (http://hackerbotcom). They will bring the the hackerbot and talk about how hacking and robotics go together. Please be sure to leave all laptop computers, cellphones and other portable electronic devices at home (just kidding!). Regulars at dorkbot-sea and occasionals at dorkbot-sf, they spend most of their time implementing science fiction. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JAMES COUPE: EXPLORING THE BOUNDARIES OF ROBOTIC ART. James Coupe arrived at the UW's Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media a fortnight ago (http://www.washington.edu/dxarts/coupe) to begin a new post as artist and research associate. Previously Senior Lecturer in Digital Art at Thames Valley University (London, England), his work uses cybernetics, computer networks and artificial intelligence to explore and expose the systems behind the robot, considering the point at which an entity stops being a corporeal robot in the industrial sense of the word, but artistically, creatively, conceptually and socially still functions as a robot - not as a physical object, but as an environment or an autonomous, distributed, viral creation. Http://www.ctrl.me.uk tells you more. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MICHAEL J. LAINE: SPACE ELEVATORS NEED ROBOTS TOO. Michael Laine, President of LiftPort Group (http://www.liftportcom), will be presenting imagery and hardware developed by his Bremerton-based firm. LiftPort is dedicated to constructing a Space Elevator, a revolutionary space access device. An essential piece of the infrastructure will be autonomous climbing robots, called "Lifters." In addition to showing a working Lifter prototype, LiftPort-commissioned Space Elevator-themed art will be on display. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LARRY BARELLO: THAT BALANCING ROBOT. Seattle Robotics Society (http://www.seattleroboticsorg ) contributor Larry Barello has devoted much of the last six years to hobby robotics and programming the Atmel AVRR series of micro controllers, returning to his roots as a designer of embedded processors for industrial, medical and communications industries. He has developed a small real time operating system called AvrX (short for AVR Executive) which he uses as the foundation for all his non-trivial AVR projects, one of which, his balancing robot, he'll be demonstrating and discussing on the 6th. http://www.barello.net/ gives more info. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Open Dork: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ROBOT SHOW AND TELL: Have robot? Here microphone! Bring your robotics projects or your robotics-relevant technologies, take the floor and tell us all about them. Hate public speaking? Find me before the meeting and we'll find you table space so you can set up and talk with fellow dorks while the DJ spins. Best of all: let me know if you're interested in an open dork spot by email (dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg) and I'll add you to the roster, the website and all that jazz. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOSH HERRALA: Josh Herrala is the artist and DJ behind Deluxe Curl Records (www.deluxecurlcom), a minimal techno/micro-house label based in Seattle. Coming up in the Detroit area, he began DJing in the early 1990s during the 'Third Wave' of the Techno revolution. By day he is a mild mannered network engineer who works for a local training company. Building OOPic based robots is his primary hobby. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 12: BRING OUT YOUR ROBOTS with PABLOS AND ERIC JOHANSON, JAMES COUPE, LARRY BARELLO and LIFTPORT'S MICHAEL LAINE.

This WEDNESDAY, 6TH OCTOBER at 7.30 PM at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg ), bring out your robots - or at least your tinfoil hats and antennae - for an amazing, all-mechatronic night of robot-friendly discussion as dorkbot-sea (http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea) gets back to business after a summer break. Internet men of mystery PABLOS and ERIC JOHANSON bring you HACKERBOT, the world's first hacker robot. International man of mystery JAMES COUPE, fresh off the boat from Blighty and now manifesting at the UW's Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media, ponders the metaphysical essence of robot. Intergalactic man of mystery MICHAEL J. LAINE discusses the role of robotics in realizing the first SPACE ELEVATOR by 2018, and Seattle Robotics Society enigma LARRY BARELLO tells us how and why he built his BALANCING ROBOT. Local DJ and roboticist JOSH HERRALA spins sets featuring material from his own DELUXE CURL RECORDS label before and after the presentations - and before his final set, we'll have a ROBOT SHOW-AND-TELL OPEN DORK session for anyone wishing to discuss a robot they've built or a relevant technology of which they're particularly fond. When we say "BRING OUT YOUR ROBOTS", we aren't kidding: please, do bring your working, partially-assembled or drawing-board-only robotics project and show it off as modestly or as shamelessly as you'd like. As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, although a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. CoCA's brand new and completely swanky mezzanine bar will be open for your business, and as usual, please do RSVP to make sure we have enough lubricant for everyone. We'll look forward to seeing you and your friends - human and otherwise - on the 6th! For more details, read on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PABLOS AND ERIC JOHANSON: WI-FI HACKERBOT (PUTTING THE 'BOT' BACK IN 'DORKBOT'). Notorious internet met of mystery Pablos and Eric Johanson work on crypto, security and privacy-related projects with The Shmoo Group (http://shmooconorg), and have built the first hacker robot (http://hackerbotcom). They will bring the the hackerbot and talk about how hacking and robotics go together. Please be sure to leave all laptop computers, cellphones and other portable electronic devices at home (just kidding!). Regulars at dorkbot-sea and occasionals at dorkbot-sf, they spend most of their time implementing science fiction. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JAMES COUPE: EXPLORING THE BOUNDARIES OF ROBOTIC ART. James Coupe arrived at the UW's Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media a fortnight ago (http://www.washington.edu/dxarts/coupe) to begin a new post as artist and research associate. Previously Senior Lecturer in Digital Art at Thames Valley University (London, England), his work uses cybernetics, computer networks and artificial intelligence to explore and expose the systems behind the robot, considering the point at which an entity stops being a corporeal robot in the industrial sense of the word, but artistically, creatively, conceptually and socially still functions as a robot - not as a physical object, but as an environment or an autonomous, distributed, viral creation. Http://www.ctrl.me.uk tells you more. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MICHAEL J. LAINE: SPACE ELEVATORS NEED ROBOTS TOO. Michael Laine, President of LiftPort Group (http://www.liftportcom), will be presenting imagery and hardware developed by his Bremerton-based firm. LiftPort is dedicated to constructing a Space Elevator, a revolutionary space access device. An essential piece of the infrastructure will be autonomous climbing robots, called "Lifters." In addition to showing a working Lifter prototype, LiftPort-commissioned Space Elevator-themed art will be on display. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LARRY BARELLO: THAT BALANCING ROBOT. Seattle Robotics Society (http://www.seattleroboticsorg ) contributor Larry Barello has devoted much of the last six years to hobby robotics and programming the Atmel AVRR series of micro controllers, returning to his roots as a designer of embedded processors for industrial, medical and communications industries. He has developed a small real time operating system called AvrX (short for AVR Executive) which he uses as the foundation for all his non-trivial AVR projects, one of which, his balancing robot, he'll be demonstrating and discussing on the 6th. http://www.barello.net/ gives more info. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Open Dork: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ROBOT SHOW AND TELL: Have robot? Here microphone! Bring your robotics projects or your robotics-relevant technologies, take the floor and tell us all about them. Hate public speaking? Find me before the meeting and we'll find you table space so you can set up and talk with fellow dorks while the DJ spins. Best of all: let me know if you're interested in an open dork spot by email (dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg) and I'll add you to the roster, the website and all that jazz. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOSH HERRALA: Josh Herrala is the artist and DJ behind Deluxe Curl Records (www.deluxecurlcom), a minimal techno/micro-house label based in Seattle. Coming up in the Detroit area, he began DJing in the early 1990s during the 'Third Wave' of the Techno revolution. By day he is a mild mannered network engineer who works for a local training company. Building OOPic based robots is his primary hobby. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 12: BRING OUT YOUR ROBOTS with PABLOS AND ERIC JOHANSON, JAMES COUPE, LARRY BARELLO and LIFTPORT'S MICHAEL LAINE.

REALLY good for an amateur film. Don't expect to see it on TV, since it was made BY internet alt-physics nerds, FOR internet electronics nerds. And it was VERY eerie: it's as if someone videotaped some actual Weird Science meetings at somebody's house; but meetings where the attendees tried building some working hardware, and it actually did inexplicable things when powered up. Eerie and sort of depressing. Like, "here's the videotape of the Seattle weird science meeting where they stumbled on a working free energy device and all became famous overnight." Nobody explains the plot, and I could see that a non-science, non-internet person wouldn't understand the conversations, would miss the basic discovery, miss all the implications, perceive the plot as meaningless gibberish, and have almost no idea what's going on for most of the movie. Ever have a rapid-fire weird-science conversation where you both understand HUGE volumes of prior info, therefore a long conversation is compressed into a sentence or two? Try explaining the sentence to a nontechnical bystander. The whole movie is like that. For example, the main characters mention these keywords: grow up, ball lightning and Tesla coil stuff is for kids... NASA... liquid helium is showing off, we can do it at room temperature. That equals Podkletnov Gravity Experiment, right? And also has a dig at professional physicists who dishonestly try to make experiments more impressive to the scientific community by including all sorts of unnecessary and expensive frills, rather than drilling down to the embarrassingly simple "Michael Faraday" core of the effect which really only needs some duct tape and microwave ovens. That's what they meant. Regulars at a "weird science" meeting would hear that information... but nobody mentioned anything about gravity or superconductors, instead they spoke in hyper-compressed keywords taken from online science forums. The public would hear disconnected gibberish. > > Does this Seattle PI Film review > concur with your own experience? > > http://seattlepi.nwsourcecom/movies/195251_primer15q.html Heh.

Sorry if you get this a couple of times, I've tried narrow the posting and include NWSFS members and other friends. For the few that may not know the back ground, Richard Wright was a fan who was *very* active in fandom in the NW and in the SMOF and Worldcon arena. One thing he did well was buy art and after his passing in late 1998 much of his artwork was sold off. Some donated some given away, but there is quite a bit still available and by the post below, I think Bob has maxed out his time to store this. I know that some of you are out of the area, but a few of you do travel a couple of times to Seattle each year, so I thought to include you. I'll stop by the Suryan's as soon as I can, who knows maybe I'll find a couple of Christmas presents to give out or even keep for myself. :-) thanks for your time. __________________ Michael Citrak Northwest Science Fiction Society - Vice Chair mcitrak(a)comcast.net www.nwsfsorg 1 ===================================== From: RPSuryan(a)aolcom To: info(a)nwsfsorg ; chair@nwsfs.org ; vicechair@nwsfs.org Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:16 AM Subject: Artwork FREE ART!!!

Thursday 11/4/2004 at 7:30 P.M. - My Favorite Restaurant Join us at one of Doug Hathaway's favorite restaurants, The Rusty Pelican, 1924 N. 45th St. (a few doors west of Meridian on the north side of 45th), 206.545.9090, $15-$20, American Cuisine. The food is fairly straightforward: beef, chicken, pasta dishes. But they are made well. They also serve omelets, waffles, and the rest of the breakfast menu all day, though you have to ask for the breakfast menu at dinner time. Instead of a dessert menu, the waitperson brings a tray of Japanese-style food replicas to show what's available. NWSFS members are encouraged to attend, and non-members in the SF/Fannish community are welcome, as always. Park north of the restaurant. Enter the lot on the west side of Meridian, north of 45th. The 44 and 16 busses stop less than a block away, coming from either direction. From I-5, get off at the closest exit to 45th, and drive a mile west to Meridian. RSVPs should be made to club-info(a)nwsfsorg or to the NWSFS info hotline 360.438.0871. If you're coming, please respond by Wednesday, November 3. __________________ Michael Citrak Northwest Science Fiction Society - Vice Chair mcitrak(a)comcast.net www.nwsfsorg 1 From weirdsci-announce-request(a)eskimocom Fri Nov 5 07:44:47 2004 Received: from ultra6.eskimocom (IDENT:smartlst(a)localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id iA5Fidcc025166; Fri, 5 Nov 2004 07:44:39 -0800 Received: (from smartlst(a)localhost) by ultra6.eskimocom (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id iA5FiRAp025090; Fri, 5 Nov 2004 07:44:27 -0800 Resent-Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 07:44:27 -0800 Status: O X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 299 Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 07:44:26 -0800 (PST) From: William Beaty Subject: WSCI: WSCI meeting TONIGHT, Capitol Hill Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Resent-Message-ID: <4tvyrD.A.7HG.a_5iBB(a)ultra6.eskimocom> X-list: 618 Precedence: list Status: RO WEIRD SCIENCES 'SALON' Next Meeting: Friday, Nov 5, 2004 700pm to midnight _________________________________________________________________ ATTENTION ALL TESLA WORSHIPPERS, FREE-ENERGY BUFFS, "CRAZY" INVENTORS, ANOMALY HUNTERS, SCALAR RESEARCHERS, ANTIGRAVITATIONALISTS, AND O/U -NITARIANS! ;) _________________________________________________________________ Meetings of Seattle's "weird sciences group" will take place the first Friday of each month, 700pm to midnight or more.

Hi William, Can you forward to the list? ... I have to move my workshop (again, for the 7th time), because the building where it is currently parked will be torn down to become a city park at the end of December. I say "parked" because it is in a 40' semi-trailer. If anyone knows of someone with a bit of space on land or next to a building where I might possibly be able to place it, please contact me ASAP with any possibilities. What I'm working on is definitely smack in the middle of the weird science arena, hence, I can't reveal too many details, but I can provide a general idea of it to the landlord. For now, electricity is not absolutely essential, but if so, that's great, and it has its own metering. (Note: Please leave the subject line as is, because it will make it through my spam filters that way).

It's a month later than normal, but it'll be fun and will add the Happy Holiday #11 for Quark fans. Address is: 7701 Bobcat Dr SE, Olympia WA 98503, 360-456-7441. From 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, What's a Mad Scientist Social if it's not a Costume event? It'll be three weeks after Halloween, but do SF&F fen need a reason to wear costumes? We' ll have prizes for best traditional Mad Scientist, Most Unusual, Most Silly, and most dressed like a Holiday Number 11 present. I'll also, have a mystery item I found at a garage sale for you to identify. It's a lamp of some sort, but that's all I'll tell you, because that's all I can figure out. This is a potluck so bring your contribution of a main dish (occasionally have enough), side dish (rarely have enough), munchies (usually have enough), or dessert (often have enough, if there is such a thing as enough dessert). Bring your own beverages if you want something particular, although some basic beverages will be available. *IF* the weather is ok, we can fire up the bbq. This Social is also a Celebration of Holiday Number 11 (Quark fans please note!) so we will have a small gift exchange. If you would like to participate in the gift exchange, please bring a wrapped gift of some small value (under $10 is good). Do not identify yourself on the gift. Kudos goes to those who wrap their gift in Holiday Number 11 paper. Newspaper is an acceptable substitute. Since the gift will not be chosen specifically for you, we will understand if you choose to trade gifts after all gifts are opened. We will plan to exchange gifts at about 8 PM. If you must leave before then we may make you open your gift early. The book discussion: What book do you want for Christmas, and why.

The first People Doing Strange Things With Electricity show was the most successful recent exhibit at CoCA, and we are back by invitation in 2005. dorkbot community members from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and artists working with electricity anywhere - from kinetic sculptors to Tesla freaks to sound artists to digital manipulators to light artists to roboticists to videographers to nanotechnologists and every shade of artist and technologist in between - are invited to submit proposals for works of any size and scope to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg. A People Doing Strange Things With Electricity Award of US $1000 will be given to the creator(s) of exhibition attendee's favourite artwork, with the aim of enabling and encouraging artists working with technology to continue to push boundaries, experiment and grow stranger. ELIGIBILITY: PDSTWE II is open to all artists, local, national and international, creating work which either requires electricity in order to function or be displayed, and/or where electricity has formed a significant and intrinsic part of the creation of the work. There are no processing or entry fees for proposals. PRESENTATION: Proposals for artwork should be submitted in the form of a paragraph (maximum 1000 words) describing the work, including details of size/dimension, impact on the venue and display requirements, special technical requirements and relevance to the premise of the exhibition. Artists must also describe any maintenance, set-up or shut-down requirements for their work as understood at the time the proposal is generated, and be prepared to guarantee the robustness of their proposed artwork under normal exhibition conditions. Proposals must be accompanied by an artist's statement or biography, and images of either the work itself or past, similar projects (if available). Digital images and emailed proposals are strongly preferred, but 35mm slides or prints (photographic or digital prints up to 8.5" x 11") will be accepted. Digital images may be submitted on CD (NOT on floppy disks), but again, email or pointers to an artist's website are preferred. All slides must be numbered and labeled with the artist's name and title of the work, and all images in any format must be accompanied by an image list. Video artists may submit a video tape or DVD disc in lieu of images. A self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) must be included with sufficient postage for the return of your slides or prints - if no SASE is enclosed, your materials will not be returned. Emailed proposals must not exceed 1 megabyte in size - this includes any documents, images, sound files etc.. All digital files and emailed proposals must be virus-free. DEADLINE AND NOTIFICATION: The deadline for entry for PDSTWE II is November 30th, 2004. Proposals postmarked or emailed after this date will not be considered. Artists will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance by December 5th, 2004. Notification will be made by email (preferred) or, where email is not available, using the SASE provided by the artist. Artists who do not provide an email address or SASE will not be notified unless they are accepted to exhibit. PDSTWE AWARD: Exhibition attendees will be asked to vote once for their favourite PDSTWE II exhibit. An award of $1000 will be given to the creator(s) of the artwork receiving the most votes. Votes will be tallied on March 3rd 2005 following the close of the exhibition. The winner of the PDSTWE award will be notified by email (preferred) or mail by March 10th, 2005, and the funds sent on or before that date.

TONIGHT!!! TONIGHT!!! TONIGHT!!! DORKBOT!!! DORKBOT!!! DORKBOT!!! - it's the last meeting of the year, so. get your final dorkbot fix of 2004, free, at CoCA, TONIGHT!!! TONIGHT!!! TONIGHT!!!

Also, please let me know if you're coming: when I'm putting chairs out, I want to have the right bottom count in mind. K ********************************* On WEDNESDAY, 1ST DECEMBER at 7.30 PM, shake off that tryptophan-induced stupor and challenge your notions of PLACE AND SPACE at CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg ) with three of Seattle's most marvelous INSTALLATION ARTISTS at this month's dorkbot (http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea). From the UW's DXArts Department, Associate Professor and experimental media artist STEPHANIE ANDREWS discusses the manipulation and perception of light and shadow in indoor and outdoor installations. Just in from Tokyo, Jack Straw Productions New Media Artist In Residence IOLE ALESSANDRINI dissects "untitled", her laser, sound and interactive media installation at Jack Straw, and the continued development of her work. Straight outta the sonosphere, composer, musician and sound artist S. LYN GOERINGER talks about the particular challenges of working with sound as the primary content of an installation, and dorkbot-sea dj-in-residence JOSH HERRALA gives us two more extraordinary sets of electronic ecclectica before and after the presentations. Anyone with an OPEN DORK topic should email dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg before the 1st, or just come and find me on the night. SHOW-AND-TELL is welcome, too: done an installation? Tell us about it! Bring bits of it! Surprise us with some guerilla installation tactics (though please, leave no trace or CoCA will hate us forever). As always, ADMISSION IS FREE, although a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged (especially if you suspect a trace might have been inadvertently left). Please do RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg so we can plan properly, and bring yourself and your friends to CoCA on the 1st: we do look forward to seeing you! For more details, read on, and check out http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/dorkbotmtg14.html for deeper bios, images etc.. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * STEPHANIE ANDREWS: LIGHT IN SITE. Stephanie Andrews uses techniques of illusion and transformation to bring people into her work as active agents of perception, deploying technologies such as digital imaging, video, neon and computer-controlled pneumatic systems. For dorkbot, Stephanie will conduct an investigation of both indoor and outdoor site-specific installations that she has been a part of over the past several years that deal primarily with the manipulation and perception of light and shadow, highlighting the particular challenges and enticements of working with this ephemeral element. http://stephnetorg , http://dxarts.washington.edu/andrews/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * S. LYN GOERINGER: AN APPROACH TO AUDIO INSTALLATION: INTENT, AESTHETICS AND INTERACTIVITY. mixed-media composer, performer and sound artist S. Lyn Goeringer writes music and creates sound art using whatever tools are available, from found objects to string quartets. She will discuss various concerns within sound and audio installations such as the purpose of utilizing sound in an installation, having sound as the primary content of an installation and the aesthetic decisions that must be made based on the intent as well as the involvement of the audience member/participant in the installation. http://geocitiescom/slyngoeringer * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * IOLE ALESSANDRINI: NEVERLIGHT. Originally from Rome, Seattle-based Iole Alessandrini manipulates light, digital media and physical space to design and build ephemeral, controlled environments that people enter rather than observe from a distance. Her most recent work, 'untitled', examines the horizon of the luminous world, the liminal regions of sound and vibration and the experiential dimension of light - radiant yet intangible, using custom-built lasers, photocells, sound, Pure Data programming environments and a light-controlled room. She will discuss this collaborative work in her presentation, covering its creation and subsequent progress and development. http://ioleorg/exhibitions/untitled.shtml; http://ioleorg/exhibitions/untitled/index.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OPEN DORK/SHOW AND TELL: Have an announcement? A project to tell us about? A request? Need collaborators? Materials? Advice? One day someone not actually doing a formal presentation will ask me for the mike, and I will weep with happiness. Email dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg to spare me serious shock, or just come and find me during the presentations and take your chances with CPR. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Performance: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOSH HERRALA: Josh Herrala is the artist and DJ behind Deluxe Curl Records (www.deluxecurlcom), a minimal techno/micro-house label based in Seattle. Coming up in the Detroit area, he began DJing in the early 1990s during the 'Third Wave' of the Techno revolution. By day he is a mild mannered network engineer who works for a local training company. On the first Wednesday of every month, he spins up a storm for dorkbot-sea. Building OOPic based robots is his primary hobby. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 14: INSTALL HERE! STEPHANIE ANDREWS, S. LYN GOERINGER, IOLE ALESSANDRINI. JOSH HERRALA DJs.

In fact, costumes of any type, especially those appropriate to the season, are encouraged. We will be having a book discussion on any works of Philip K Dick.

The house is not wheel-chair friendly, with stairs between the three sections. The main entrance (with bathroom access) is up a slope and one step. Inside, the kitchen and food is up a half-flight, but we'll bring you food it that's a problem. The rec room is down a half-flight, but is accessible from the outside with no steps, just a path over grass. Parking is on-street, and generally available.

Built like a tank, the tank is good sized (think 55 gal barrel) and made of 3/16 steel. The tank has a heat wrap - in use you would load in your electronics, bugs in lucite, or fiberoptics connectors, draw a de-gassing vacuum, then pressurize to 100 psi or so to drive the remaining small bubbles into solution. Then you heat to cure, and voila. But alternatively, it might make a great aluminization chamber, and would take a 20" dia optic. Or 20 x 30 "art object, or bake souffle! (Under slowly increasing vacuum, souffles should be easier and taller. - just can't go to true vacuum or cooking would be seriously impeded.) Free in Bellevue! 400 lbs, desk sized console containing the chamber in vertical orientation, screw winch to raise the lid, etc. Any interest?

(fwd) Status: O X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 325 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2004 20:59:44 -0800 From: Kate Seekings To: 'A discussion list for dorkbot-sea' , dorkbotsea-announce(a)dorkbotorg Subject: [dorkbotsea-blabber] JANUARY DORKBOT: MECHANICAL MOVIE NIGHT!!! On WEDNESDAY, 5th JANUARY at 7.30 PM, come down to CoCA (http://www/.cocaseattleorg) and ease gently into a whole new year of art and technology at the first ever DORKBOT-SEA MOVIE NIGHT (http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea)! Thanks to the kindness of dorkbot regulars TOBY PADDOCK and CHRISTOPHER PROSSER, we have two fantastic films for your delight and delectation: THE WAY THINGS GO: Swiss artists PETER FISCHLI and DAVID WEISS have collaborated on kinetic installations since 1979, and their work demonstrates a deep interest in the mechanisms that animate the universe of objects. They remove these things from their usual contexts and then restructure their relationships to one another. This famous short film records the self-destructing performance of their most ambitious construction: 100 feet of physical interactions, chemical reactions and precisely crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg or Alfred Hitchcock. 1987, 30 mins (http://www.frifcom/cat97/t-z/the_way_.html). ARTHUR GANSON PRESENTS A FEW MACHINES CREATED BETWEEN 1978 AND 2004: ARTHUR GANSON, renowned kinetic sculptor and ongoing artist-in-residence at M.I.T., builds "machines that transcend their "machineness". They do nothing, but work extraordinarily well, particularly at making people laugh" (Smithsonian Magazine). This DVD documents 36 machines in action (close up and as a whole), an animation machine sequence, a sequence showing how Ganson's wire gears are bent and soldered and some scrolling text thoughts about the machines and the process. 1978-2004, 70 mins (http://www.arthurgansoncom/pages/DVD.html). Dorkbot resident dj JOSH HERRALA will spin before and after the movies, giving you a chance to catch up with the post-holiday dorkbot crew and talk about your plans for 2005, and if you have video of your own tech art creations, bring them along for a post-main-feature SHOW AND TELL SCREENING: we'll show if you tell. As ever, we'll have beer! Wine! Cocktails! Soft drinks! - and I'll try to arrange to hire a popcorn machine (but bring munchies if movies make you peckish, just in case). ADMISSION IS FREE, although a donation to CoCA is particularly strongly encouraged: we want 'em around for another year for more events like dorkbot. Please do RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg so we can plan properly, and bring yourself and your friends to CoCA on the 5th: we always look forward to seeing you. For more details, check out http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea, which will be updated soon. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 15: MECHANICAL MOVIE NIGHT FEATURING THE WORK OF PETER FISCHLI, DAVID WEISS and ARTHUR GANSON WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 5th JANUARY at 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) BRING: VIDEO/DVDS FEATURING YOUR OWN TECH ART FOR SHOW AND TELL SCREENING DRESS: HOLLYWOOD MACHINE SHOP RSVP: PLEASE RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg.

Lyn Goeringer's in the 8 x 14" space), but which will be built for permanence, and the long-term improvement of CoCA's facilities. If you have time and the hand tools, this is an amazing opportunity to help make a difference at CoCA that will benefit not only dorkbot, but all future exhibits in the CoCA space. Interested in helping? Read on. ------------------------------ Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) is busy preparing for its next exhibition: "People Doing Strange Things with Electricity" on January 22nd. http://www.dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/events-pdstwe2.shtml The exhibition will feature major installations, and to accommodate them, CoCA has adopted an ambitious construction plan that will include the creative adaptation of the exhibition requirements with the intention of permanent additions to the CoCA space. CoCA has received a generous donation to cover the cost of the materials necessary, but we can't build it without volunteer help, so we are calling on you! This is a great opportunity to get your IDP volunteer credits while helping out a local non-profit arts organization. If you are interested in doing some light construction work on a tight schedule, we are currently recruiting volunteers to work in teams on the following projects: * Construction of a permanent enclosed video room (8'x14') with a platform above to act as stage for musical acts. * Construction of a permanent reception area (7'x10') and small store (5' x 7') which will double as a small installation room, and temporary bar for the upcoming show. * Construction of a sound isolation wall to block sound from an electrical transformer in a third installation room. * Construction of Four moveable 10'x12'x2' walls to be used as flexible gallery walls for the upcoming and future exhibitions. The majority of work will be basic framing, drywall, and painting, and basic construction skills are preferred, but by no means necessary. The schematic plans have already been prepared, and we are currently recruiting volunteers to work in teams of 2-6 to complete basic framing by January 16th, and finish drywall and painting by January 20th. Unfortunately we cannot start construction until January 13th, when the current show comes down. Major work days will be January 15 and 16 , but volunteers will still be needed to move the project along during evening hours, as well as help out with the installations as well. Pizza and refreshments will be provided, and in exchange for volunteer work, CoCA will provide a letter documenting the number of hours worked, as well as a 1-year membership for all those who give 4 hours or more. In addition, volunteers will be given VIP passes for themselves and a guest for the opening night party: http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/events-techgnosis.shtml To sign up, or for more information, please contact CoCA's Volunteer Coordinator Karen Cook at: karen.cook(a)callisoncom or volunteer@cocaseattleorg CoCA is located at 410 Dexter Avenue North www.cocaseattleorg ........................................................................ .........dorkbot: people doing strange things with electricity.......... ..........................http://dorkbotorg............................ ........................................................................

Our 17th dorkbot meeting (http://dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea will be updated imminently) is curated by GABE KEAN, co-curator of Help Wanted and founder and Artistic Director of Born Magazine (http://bornmagazinecom ). Gabe will be introducing presentations from interactive artist and dorkbot regular RANDY MOSS and writer MICHAEL EVAN, who'll discuss their cool, green 'AFTERWORDS' (http://rmosscom ); architect and interactive exhibit designer BRIAN MCWATTERS, who'll talk about his vertiginous installation 'THE ESTATE OF BEVERLY THOMAS' (http://alchemyDLcom ) and artist, designer and Born Magazine contributor RICK MULLARKY, who'll review his past, present and future work (http://rickmucom ). COME EARLY to check out the exhibition before the presentations - and because from 7 pm onward, we'll be showing video of San Francisco's maddest machine artists at their second annual POWER TOOL DRAG RACES(http://powertooldragracescom )! We'll have OPEN DORK (this month, CHRISTOPHER PROSSER reviews "PHYSICAL COMPUTING"), and SHOW-AND-TELL is welcome, too: got a work in progress? Something electrical that fizzes but doesn't beep? Bring it along with you - we'll be intrigued! As always, there'll be beer, wine and cocktails upstairs in the bar, and ADMISSION IS FREE, although a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged.

Evening, all I just realized two things: first, June 05 will be our 2nd anniversary dorkbot meeting, and second, in those 24 months of golden opportunity, we have never - never, ever - had a Tesla night! What have we been thinking??? Call ourselves dorks? Eh? Eh??? So, I thought it might be rather a wheeze to make our 2nd anniversary dorkbot a neon-and-argon-filled, plasma-popping, current-arcing, ozone-tingling night of Tesla-related insanity, along with some drinking of glow-in-the-dark cocktails and the like. Here's what I'm looking for: * Three (or more) speakers willing to talk about creating Tesla-inspired art objects and/or devices * People with Tesla coils etc. who'd be prepared to bring them out on the night (I'll apply for permits to shut down the alley, and we can talk about generators/charging etc.) * People who would be prepared to make a Tesla coil/Jacob's Ladder etc. for June and tell us about the experience * Show and Tell - or just show - Tesla-inspired art objects and/or devices (for example, strange medical implements, great balls of plasma etc.) * A suitably lively DJ who isn't afraid of playing the occasional goofiness like OMD's 'Tesla Girls' * Anything else you can think of that would loosely fit this bill Interested yourselves? Know anyone who might be interested? Feel free to forward this, or something more coherent, or send me pointers to dorkbotsea AT dorkbot (dot) org. Here's Bill Beaty's Tesla page for more interesting reading: http://www.amascicom/tesla/tesla.html Looking forward to hearing from you!

Win prizes by stumping the so-called experts! "Space Rocks and Meteorites" - (A210): Toby Smith and Branimir Sesar - Toby and Brani will also have a selection of the Department's meteorite collection available for you to take a look at and ask questions about. "Hands-On Projects for Kids" - (A212): Julie Lutz and Space Grant - Dr. Lutz is director of the NASA Regional Educator Resource Center here on campus. She and other members of Space Grant are sure to have lots of exciting hands-on activities for kids of all ages. This Center is an important source for K-12 education in the State. "Pre-Planetarium Activities" - (A216) -- Undergraduates in physics and astronomy will help you make a star wheel (planisphere) that tells you what stars are visible in the sky at any time during any date of the year. They will also help you unravel the "mystery" of why the Moon goes through phases and clear up any misconceptions you may have about this phenomenon. You may also have time to make a "star clock." The star wheel and star clock are yours to take with you. Mission to SRAM - (PAB B wing): Kyle Doane - Learn what it takes to explore another planet! Missions to the planet SRAM blasting off every 10 minutes, care of the Pacific Science Center Foyer and Courtyard: Members of the Seattle Astronomical Society will be on hand with information and a variety of telescopes and will share their knowledge of our universe. Their telescopes will be fitted with solar filters to view the surface of the Sun (and maybe see some sunspots). The first-quarter Moon will also be nicely placed this afternoon, and the telescopes will be able to "zoom-in" on the many craters and maria. Astro Bounce: Simulate walking on the moon in the Astro Bounce! H bar Need sustanence? Grab coffee, pop, and snacks at the H Bar 2:30--5:00 (ongoing) Planetarium Shows: planetarium shows will start on the half-hour, the first beginning promptly at 2:30 pm; and the last one, 4:30 pm. Each show runs approximately 25 minutes. Free Tickets are required for admittance. Since the planetarium can hold only 40 people at a time, it is recommended that you get your ticket early (registration desk). Sorry, no one will be admitted to the planetarium after a show starts. Courtyard: "Edible Comets" -- yes, edible comets. A few of these "icy bodies" will magically appear from common ingredients, only to be digested a few moments later. Always great fun. "Blast Off to the Moon with Seltzer Rockets!" -- Learn why a rocket takes off, and watch how really high these model rockets (ones that you make and fuel-up) fly. "Astronomical Soundgarden" Come listen and sing along to astronomically-themed music by local musicians! Campus Observatory (2:30 - 4:00): "Follow the Path and Step 110 Years Back into History" -- at the north end of campus (an approximate 10 - 15 minute walk) sits an ancient observatory housing one of the finest 6" refracting telescopes to be found anywhere. Undergraduates in astronomy will be available during this time to show you around the observatory and give you the history of this telescope, still sitting under its original dome, and that of the Bamburg Transit Telescope on the first floor. These undergraduates offer an open house every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, with a presentation given on an astronomical topic and viewing of the night sky (if clear). We will be zooming in on the first-quarter Moon during this Open House. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

Our 18th DORKBOT meeting features three Seattle-based presenters and People Doing Strange Things With Electricity II (http://www.dorkbotorg/dorkbotsea/events-pdstwe2.shtml) exhibitors ERIC MCNEILL, creator of People's Choice Award finalist UNTITLED: PORTRAIT/MOVEMENT, a haunting, abstract projection grid of LEDs, who will discuss using RABBIT PROCESSORS to make artworks like this one and beyond; machine artist W. SCOTT TRIMBLE, who will describe his latest series of elegant machines (titled MOVING PICTURES - so good we borrowed it) that explore ways of thinking about moving images and landscape through machine art, and DXARTS grad student EDWARD TANG, who'll be talking about his award-winning 'net art installation THREADS://PORN_PERSONALS.HTML, his past and future work and how he found at his current research trajectory. COME EARLY if you want to check out more of San Francisco's dangerously nerdy machine art community going full throttle at the POWER TOOL DRAG RACES: we will start the video at 7 pm precisely. As always, OPEN DORK and SHOW AND TELL participation is more than welcome: this month, TOBY PADDOCK will show a short ambient video and ERIC of S.O.A.P. (the Seattle Outsider Art Project) will give a call for submissions for their upcoming WEIRD SCIENCE FAIR. Got something to say yourself? Let me know! CoCA will once again be offering beer, wine, cocktails and conviviality in their upstairs bar, and ADMISSION IS FREE, though a donation to CoCA is strongly encouraged. Please, do RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg: it helps us plan and stops us panicking that you aren't going to show. Feel free to FORWARD this invitation: the more our community expands, the more people will be making tech art, and the happier we will be. We're looking forward to seeing you on the 4th! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Presenters: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ERIC MCNEILL: UNTITLED: PORTRAIT, MOVEMENT - RABBIT!!!... Seattle-based artist and technologist Eric McNeill will discuss the design and construction of this piece from PDSTWEII, and will also give an introduction to using Rabbit Microprocessors. In addition to simply showing lo-res video, "Untitled (Portrait/Movement)" is an example of some of the more advanced things you can do with a $50 micro like the Rabbit - for example, networking support to allow the piece to put or fetch media on or from the Internet. http://smellsnewcom/pdstwe/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * W. SCOTT TRIMBLE: MOVING PICTURES. Local machine artist Scott Trimble will talk about his 'Landscape Generator' series of machines, through which he considers the contrast between industry, nature, figure and machine, and his use of vending-machine models to engage the viewer with a familiar model, to encourage them to interact, and to contribute to the process of constructing, destroying or consuming components of the work before them. He'll also discuss his latest series, 'Moving Pictures', in which he uses kinetic sculpture to explore the very, very slow movement of images superimposed over each other, presenting a constantly, but slowly, changing composite image to the viewer. http://wstrimble.homesteadcom/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EDWARD TANG: A TRAJECTORY OF A SCOLAR-PRACTITIONER IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL ARTS. Ed Tang, a PhD student at the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS; http://www.washington.edu/dxarts/profile_home.php?who=tang), will guide you along the unconventional educational and artistic trajectory that's led him to the Center and his current aesthetic and technological research vectors. He'll include a discussion of his research, and past and present work. http://www.antiexperiencecom/edtang/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * OPEN DORK/SHOW AND TELL: TOBY PADDOCK shows an AMBIENT VIDEO, and ERIC L. of the Seattle Outsider Art Project gives a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for their upcoming WEIRD SCIENCE FAIR. So. Have an announcement? A project to tell us about? Some cool new tools you're using? A request? Need collaborators? Materials? Advice? Email dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg, or just come and find me during the presentations and I'll find you a spot in front of the mic. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Screening: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * POWER TOOL DRAG RACES: See most of San Francisco's crazed and colourful machine art scene out and proud of their mutant creations at the anarcho-technological, petrochemically infernal 2ND ANNUAL POWER TOOL DRAG RACES (http://www.powertooldragracescom/). Starting at 7 pm at this month's dorkbot, we'll be screening a Discovery Channel documentary created by intrepid New Zealand film makers as they explored the clanking, cotton-candy-covered underbelly of the strangest drag race on the planet. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In summary: WHAT: dorkbot 18: MOVING PICTURES WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 4TH MAY 2005 * POWER TOOL DRAG RACES VIDEO FROM 7 PM courtesy of TOBY PADDOCK * PRESENTATIONS FROM 7.30 PM WHERE: CoCA (http://www.cocaseattleorg for directions) BRING: WORK IN PROGRESS, moving pictures of your own DRESS: PICTURESQUELY RSVP: PLEASE RSVP to dorkbotsea(a)dorkbotorg.
