Radio Ga-Ga is Hiring!

Out project aims to restore a 1940s era vacuum tube radio back to its past glory. Everyone is welcome to join in and help!

We are particularly asking for help with the electronic aspects of the project. If you'd like participate, please contact urig. Thanks!

 Urig: I went over with my dad to my grandmother house and dug up a box of vacum tubes, and even a (supposedly) working tube radio for you. It's in my car, bringing it over - don't forget to pick it up from me.

SMOKE MACHINE?

Or other interesting output device?

for the Synesthetic Aspirations project

contact roee kremer roikr75 at gmail.com

Also, can be useful to make the virtual light saber semi-real. (Led light Smoke = Light beam).

Leave not here or to geekcon@orib.net

A good way to generate smoke without smoke machine is to buy the apple oil used for making the same smoke from smoke machine (not sure where to buy it - DJ supply shop ??), and just boil it on a cooking pot with a simple pazgazit. (Oded Sharon)
