[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: You've probably seen this: Squishy Circuits

[Michael Shiloh]

I don't have the bandwidth to organize a workshop, but please, someone 
pull this together. We need to see where this can be taken.

(By workshop I mean something where less is taught, because there is no 
clear expert amongst us, and more is learned and discovered by 
experimentation as a group. Is there a name for this activity?)
