Hi All,
Mr. Mitten, I know you in particular were interested in knowing more
about Frayed Wire, and thought others here might be too.
Frayed Wire is a day-camp of lectures and workshops going on in W.
Seattle at Youngstown Cultural Center. The theme is art and
technology, of course, and yours truly is teaching a workshop there in
the afternoon on the Processing programming language.
All the detail you could possibly want can be found below:

Cheers,
-Joe

We're also excited to announce Leah Beuchley, who invented the
Lilypad Arduino kit, donated a kit to FrayedWire, which we will be

chances between the workshops and the open lab space to come up with
something fabulous. Also, feel free to bring tools & junque
materials for the open lab space to use in your making.
