More Futurism

If you come by the next Dorkbot DC meeting on Sept. 10, you can see my haptic artwork:

We will "touch" between Washington, DC and Toronto, Canada.

Note that the lifeboat foundation is headed by Eric Klein, who has a bad reputation, at least according to Jim Davidson, who I believe:

"The main problem was there was going to be a founding conference at Ceaser's Palace, Eric Klein asked people to donate money, got guys like ?Courtney Smith? to put up fifty-thousand dollar loans to be paid back out of the proceeds from the conference, and he was going to sell tickets to the conference. Well he got two hundred and fifty thousand dollars together and he used it to cover all his stock market speculation losses, his picks all went down and he didn't have stop-loss orders, basically gambling stupidly. You can still go to oceania.org and see his website, but it doesn't represent an active project."

They asked me if I wanted to be on the scientific advisory board b/c of my work on floating cities and I turned them down for this reason.
