I think we'll have to do something similar next year, maybe "dorkbot-on-sea" Well we’re certainly proponents of the maker scene if not components so the cultural signpost was sound.

I think we’ll have to do something similar next year, maybe “dorkbot-on-sea”

I guess there is a very strong relation there and makezine is a good pointer for the uninitiated, but I think it's more of an art/engineering/software/music/etc hybrid that extends beyond the scope of physical arts/crafts... I really enjoyed making some real things at the camp but it that was a holiday from my otherwise resolutely text and sound based dorky activities... Anyway I guess dorkbot is hard to define, it just brings together people being creative with electricity, be it with spark gaps, electronics or software. Also it goes far beyond the UK, in fact it was started by Douglas Repetto in New York City (London was second but started about a year later) and there are now over 50 cities with dorkbots. cheers!

I'd like to see the knitting one - it's the simplest way of turning a fairly useless one-dimensional twist of sheep hair into very useful two-dimensional piece of cloth.
