7 Year Twitch (7 Years of dorkbotSF!) May 27, 2009

Yes, dorkbotSF has been around for 7 years in June! To commemorate, we’re having two events in June.
The first one will be on June 3 at Greg Leyh’s Nevada Lightning Lab where he’ll discuss possible research at NLL and do a live testing of various loads on his 1/12th scale of the 2 12-story tesla coils he’s planning to build. Food Hacker Marc Powell is going to show off his latest Food Genome project and bringing some dope food for us all! And the ever prolific Jonathan Foote will be showing us a light printer he calls the Ghost Matrix scavenged from different parts including scrap from SRL! Kevin Ottalini will also show his Marx Generator and the NLL in Half-Life!
More details on the dorkbotSF 7 Year Anniversary MEETING here (Jun 3).
Then about a week and a half later, Jon Sarriugarte is hosting a dorkbot party meeting to end all party meetings at his Boiler Bar in Oakland! Many surprise speakers and strange electrical gizmos to demo so you really have to go as not all of them will be announced! But on the lineup he’s got Omega Recoil’s twin Tesla Coils that will be running live, the Golden Mean, Marriage Wrecker and Muffin Art Cars! Greg Solberg and Keith Johnson teaching how to build an electric car from scratch (Tesla roadster, muffin cars, marriage wrecker), Jon is giving the audience a choice of several topics he could present so YOU choose: Giant Iron Snail Car, Golden Mean, 1928 Hogan Tesla Coil, Power Tool Drag Racing, Volt-Aged Whiskey and Mike Winter will show his artificial personality projects and interrogation by robots!
There’ll be food and beer, fire gardens, and live electrocutions with the 1928 Hogan Device!
More information on the dorkbotSF 7 Year Anniversary PARTY here! (Jun 20)
So hopefully you all can come out to one or preferably both events and celebrate 7 years of people doing strange things with electricity in the Bay Area!
Giant Spider in Yokohama May 19, 2009

Built by French group La Machine, it can be seen in Yokohama as part of Expo Y150 commemorating the 150th anniversary of Yokohama port. I like how it farts out some kind of mist out of its spider butt and that 3 benign looking people operate it.Also seen in the background is Bastiaan Maris Large Hot Pipe Organ a MIDI-controlled propane-powered fire organ.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Someone really should build a giant Godzilla to stomp around Japan though.

People doing strange things with…Bacon? March 20, 2009
Posted by sashahc in Events.Tags: bacon, barcamp, cooking
add a comment
When geeks cook, BaconCamp happens:
BaconCamp is a free, ad-hoc “unconference” happening in March, inspired by BarCamp and dedicated to all things bacon. “This event is FREE FREE FREE. However, in the spirit of BarCamp, we want to give back to the community. We will be taking $5-$10 sliding scale donations at the door. All proceeds go to the American Heart Association.”
# Date: March 21, 2009
# Time: 1pm – 5pm
# Location: 500 3rd Street, Suite 510, San Francisco, CA
Of course, bacon has a wiki. Now we *know* it’s the future.

ETech09 Roundup 2: dorkspotting! plus Shelley Batts, Zoe Keating March 19, 2009

add a comment
Sasha and I were both at Etech in San Jose last week, and we thought we’d comment on some of the doings there.
Lots of dorkbotters participating in ETech: though I’m sure I missed some, I spotted Michael Shiloh and Judy Castro in the Maker Shed; the Evil Mad Scientists demoing at ETechFest; David Calkins, Ben Cerveny, Mike Kuniavsky and Liz Goodman each giving a talk; Sasha herself running a “FreeTech” session (dorkbotters, always ahead of the game, have already seen this talk on her exhibits at California Academy of Sciences), and (ahem) Timothy Childs and I talking about getting chocolate on your research: TCHO + FXPAL.
Here’s a couple of my personal high points:
Shelley Batt’s session on new therapies (stem cell, gene therapy) for hearing loss: regrow those hair cells! As a hearing-impaired person, I have an abiding interest in (relatively) non-invasive technologies that promise hearing regeneration not involving surgical installation (step away from my skull with the bone drill, please). I’ve been following her work online for a while and was delighted to see her talk listed. Her work is “related to cures for deafness including gene therapy and small molecule intervention for cochlear hair cell regeneration.”
Here’s the deal with this: many people who lose their hearing do so because the tiny hair cells on the basilar membrane become damaged and die. Loud sound, high fever, some antibiotics, a physical impact, autoimmune attacks — lots of things will kill off these delicate li’l hair cells. And once dead, they don’t come back.
Turns out, though, that birds with damaged hearing actually regrow hair/sensor cells in their ears. Mammals, including us, have lost this ability. The research seems promising: there are once-deaf guinea pigs that have not only successfully regrown their hair cells, but actually hear with them (w00t!).
Bottom line: yes, it will likely work. No, there’s no timeline; probably at least a decade or more, unless it’s really well funded. And yes, Bush’s ban on stem cell research did in fact stymie this research for way too long (grrrr).
Also hearing-related: it is my great good fortune that I can still hear cello very well. Cellist/composer Zoe Keating’s concert was, as usual, remarkable. She live/loops her acoustic cello into a lovely, living sonic architecture. I remember first hearing her perform at jhno’s Natoma St. loft (really miss that space!). If you haven’t caught her in concert, at least you can hear her work online (and see upcoming concert dates) here.
iPhone 3.0 as ubicomp and virtual worlds platform March 18, 2009

While the tech media goes bonkers about cut-n-paste coming to iPhones I think that most of their audience would be pissed if they realized that this is the least interesting part of the story.
Seriously, this thing has accelerated 3D graphics hardware, onboard acceleration and location sensors, and in 3.0 it will provide an in-app microstransaction function that makes the iPhone the first US phone that’s able to make good on the old promise of virtual goods based mobile virtual worlds.
Is cut-n-paste more important that the fact that bluetooth devices will be addressable by third party apps? Being able to link to nearby devices opens up the possibility for display wearables, ambient input devices and HUD hacks. Just think of all the arduino art out there which could be that much better by slapping on a bluetooth shield and hooking into the cloud of iPhones passing by.
Fuck cut-n-paste. Bring on the lickable gear cloud wearing, multiworld occupying, environment meshing masses.
