dorkbot is back.  What do we have in store for you this time?
Colloids and immersive systems and Satanic anti-war song-cycles.  Oh-my!!!

Line-up:

• Brian Park (http://www.abbedon.com/electricminds/html/wwj_austin_2228.html)
  

Virtual Reality in 3space: realspace, mindspace & cyberspace.  If you’ve seen the film Lawnmower Man, you’ve seen Brian’s work.  Come out Thursday to see his latest inventions.   

• Sean McCullough (http://www.cricketschirping.com/weblog/)
  

teaches you to build a writhing slime demonstration that demonstrates how colloids react to sonic waves.  

• Jason Asbahr from Roxor Games (http://www.roxorgames.com)
  

exposes Indie Arcade Game Development.

• “Music” by themysterious H
  

twists 8-bit synths in interesting and disastrous ways.  DJ McPickleshittz backs him up with an original copy of Electric Lucifer.  

• Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar
  

Jeff Minter's magnum opus, this sequel to the coin-op classic Tempest is one of the trippiest games you’ll ever see.  See (and play) for yourself with a homebrew rotary control on the big screen.  

Spread the word about this Thursday to dork lovers near and far.  

What’s next?  We can’t spill all the beans quite yet but here’s a teaser of what’s to come this summer and fall: kidbot, evil dorkbot and Maker Faire.  Sign up on the mailing list and don’t miss a thing:  http://dorkbot.org/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotaustin-announce
