Jason Plumb maintains web-based reflections of real-world projects at:
http://noisybox.net (main personal site)
http://infiltrationlab.com (noise project)
http://robotsdie.net (madness)
His dorky interests include microcontrollers, pure-data (pd), circuit bending, experimental audio, and robots.
As interest and resources allow, he's interested in organizing dorkbot workshops (or otherwise providing help with):
- General electronics skills: soldering, using a meter, using an oscilloscope, wire wrapping, etc.
- Creating low-run, low-cost PCBs at home
- Circuit bending and electronic toy modification
He likes to learn more from other dorks about:
- Software radio, software video
- Cheap, reliable wireless comm links
- USB micros as human interface glue
- MEMS sensors
- Welding
- Working with plastics, shaping, casting
