Dorkbot Austin: Awesomely Strange Projects!

Luke Iseman makes stuff, some of which works. He invites you to drive a bike for a living (dirtnailpedicab.com), stop killing your garden (growerbot.com), and live in an off-grid shipping container (boxouse.com).

Thanks to everybody who came out to Cafe Mundi Thursday for Dorkbot. Not a huge crowd, but we did have some great projects. In no particular order:

Jason Delaney’s literally steampunk still, meant for distilling water, herbal essences, or (theoretically) alcohol.

John P. Funk and his cosmically funky LED light sculpture.

L. Scott Hudson’s .NET-programmed, talking robot head. Check out video of it in action here.

Chase Hammock’s bookbag-based, wearable multimedia entertainment system, complete with cold cathode tubes. Chase was nice enough to not mind me posting this “deer in headlights” picture of him:)
