Back in Kalk Post

By fur @ 13:30 [ Workshop //////////fur//// ]
Hi beloved students!

it was a really intense and incredibly fun and productive week. what great students you are! Back in Kalk Post we fell into a deep emptyness - no more students, no more cheese and no marble bathroom anymore - only lots of beers could get us over this dark time.

Now - two days later - we are already busy again, soldering, programming and answering stupid journalists questions like "where do you get your ideas from?" -- from the soldering fumes of course!!

We are still busy compiling all the images and projects from the workshop, here's some first infos:
http://www.fursr.com/details.php?id=46&pid=46

But we are missing some of stuff. So could you please send us the following as a last wish from les profursseurs:
- Photos of the Automatic Vibrator
- A list of projects with correct project names and the names of the students working on each project.
- A JPG of each Poster you made for your projects

We do also recommend to document your projects on a small website in some sort, each of you on his own, together or however you like (thanks to Alain for the Video!). Also small videos for each project are very good, especially if you want to take part in Awards and stuff - they will always ask for video-documentation when you submit an interactive work - and your works definetly have the potential....

And also give thanks and praise to your young and ambitious new professeur Mr. Zai who was man enough to invite us mad scientists.

Keep on soldering!
Tilman
