There was a lot of interest in having another lunchp yesterday at the Linux show so I am setting up one for downtown Orlando in the first week of March most likely. Mean while if you know someone who wants to come to a lunch but does not want to join the mailing list because of the traffic tell them to subscribe to the lunchp list:

Thought this would be of interest to someone. Saw an article today in Mother Earth News written by Cop Macdonald.

Which got me searching around and stumbled upon this gem on VSST:

“VSSTV uses broadcasts from this historic public domain television system €”available anytime over freely accessible frequencies and regular bubble wrap to construct an analogous system in which the packing material functions as the aperture mask. Just as a Cathode Ray Tube mixes the three primary colors to create various hues, VSSTV utilizes a plotter-like machine to fill the individual bubbles with one of the three primary CRT colors (red, green, and blue), turning them into pixels on the VSSTV €œscreen€. Observed from a distance, the clusters of pixels/bubbles merge into the transmitted image. Large television images are the result, images that take the idea of slow scan to the extreme.”

Novel idea.
