Hope everyone found an activity to burn off the extra calories consumed the past three days. It’s a gastric battle over here. Just read the lineup for Dorkbot this wednesday at, as always, Location 1 and take note science fans, it is an impressive lineup: (continue reading…)
Dorkbot Videos

For you artists and people who like to mix their science and creativity jones and are looking for some inspiration, there are 11 (soon to be 12) Dorkbot presentations up on DorkBot’s Vimeo page. They range from electronic projects at elementary schools, personal indoor farms for nyc apartments, dolls mutated into sexy robots, and other incredibly interesting visions from artists all around. They were captured by me and edited by my good friend Joe Frey. We are calling this little thing of ours Content Content and will continue to bring you an archive of Dorkbot -NYC’s exciting presentations.
Dorkbot meets every the first Wednesday of every month at 7p at Location 1 in soho. (continue reading…)

dorkbot-nyc, 01 April 2009 — Erik Sanner: Paintings that Move, Spring Planting, and How to Enjoy Traffic Cones from Dorkbot on Vimeo.
Ever since i saw this presentation in april, i have noticed with alarming regularity how useless, numerous, and different traffic cones are. This is the last presentation from their April Fools Dorkbot. I should be uploading the May 6th meeting soon. Some powerful and beautiful images in that one. (continue reading…)

Science, media, art, movies, politics, and what else I find interesting tweeting and reading on the internet. And ITP.

The Twin Rectangular Jet model, installed on the Nozzle Acoustic Test Rig in the Aeroacoustic Propulsion Laboratory at NASA's Glenn Research Center being tested.
The Twin Rectangular Jet model, installed on the Nozzle Acoustic Test Rig in the Aeroacoustic Propulsion Laboratory at NASA's Glenn Research Center, is being tested to determine the acoustic impact of engine configurations on low sonic boom aircraft for the High Speed Project of the Fundamental Aeronautics Program. The High Speed Project is a multi-center effort to develop and test the technologies of a new generation of aircraft that can fly at supersonic speeds. Glenn's research involves predicting the airport noise of these novel aircraft by examining innovative airframes and propulsion integration that are different from the conventional tube-and-wing aircraft observed at commercial airports. Inside the aeroacoustic dome, this generic, low-fidelity aircraft engine exhaust model features twin rectangular nozzles. Researchers are investigating the impact of having the propulsive exhaust come from the slot nozzles atop the aircraft. Testing the proposed components of these high- speed aircraft will help manufacturers meet the noise standards required around the nation's airports. Image Credit: NASA/Bridget R. Caswell
