Because it's just too cool not to go, a little promotion for the Transplant Software Personalities workshop with former PICNIC speaker David Bausola (check out his profile here: http://picnicnetwork.org/david-bausola) organized by our friends at Transnatural.

Short description of the workshop
___ Weavrs are artificial personalities that live on the web, and that learn new emotions and skills by searching around in social media. In this workshop we’ll be transplanting Weavrs into Roomba’s (self navigating vacuum cleaners) and other networked objects. Using Arduino’s and motor controls we’ll learn to use Weavrs online service to steer hardware.

Only 25 euros! Make sure to join.  Read less
