Last night was Dorkbot , tonight is Ignite, tomorrow is Bill Beaty weird science night at Museum of Mysteries, and there’s a science fiction convention down by SeaTac NorWesCon . Last night, at Dorkbot, I heard Bre Pettis is heading out into the Eastern Washington this weekend to send a balloon very, very high into the sky. (They need a truck if anyone wants to tag along…)
It’s enough to make any one’s mind explode! I talked about my art meets geek meets psychology obsession with Oracles last night at Dorkbot (try the online version, here). Other hightlights from last night: Meghan Trainor gave us the update on her RFID meets clay meets performance art collective Accelerator, Michael Snyder told us how he’s been warcycling for wifi hotspots in seattle on his bicycle, and Joseph Gray showed us how you can create 3D light sculptures with a projector and clever masking. Joseph organizes Open Lab at 911 Media, which looks worth checking out.
Tonight I’ll be talking about how we are using social tagging in our Pathable project at Ignite. Too, too much fun. Looks like there’ll be a lot of great talks, not to mention a paper airplane contest.
