The beginning of Mark Pauline’s presentation at the Dorkbot Todd Blair fundraiser was moving.
I posted the video over on Google video, & here’s the audio as an mp3.

Three months later, after carefully cleaning this up, I’m, um, going to blabber on about it now.
The presentations at this meeting were very visual: first, a map of neighborhoods, drawn from Craigslist postings; second, software to visualize audio by frequency & the slight audio delays between ears.
However, as far as I know, no good copies of the streaming video for that night were saved. I would love to be mistaken. I’d almost suggest playing along with the map & audio software as you listen to this. The audio’s posted in decent-quality audio, so the software might actually have enough info to work.
Setting up & cleaning up this recording was a learning experience: I didn’t record the audience very well, & my recorder dropped a couple of minutes in a Q&A, which included a phone call from the internet to ask a question. I recovered audience commentary to the best of my ability, with limited materials; I lucked out that I could get the audience audible at all.
I left in the daughter of Jonathan Moore, the MC, just because I got a kick out of her happily wandering in, babbling for a bit, & then being given the controls of a flamethrower.
Anyway. Here’s the audio: 95 minutes, 90 meg. I encoded these at 128kbps because stereo music is involved.

This was more Konteijner than Dorkbot. This came first before other recordings because the recording didn’t need much work, & it directly relates to stuff going on later this week.
Just want to listen to it? It’s 68 minutes, & 34 meg.
- mp3
- aac / m4b – this has the times listed below marked as chapters.
The contents:
- Intro: This was a cold start – in mid-sentence – because the recording hardware only started reluctantly.
- 15:30 – Ivan Marusic Klif
- 30:15 – Magdalena Pederin
- 36:00 – Marcell Mars – Geek Culture, see mama.mi2.hr
- 60:00 – upcoming at Device Art, say, Thursday & Saturday.
