[Noisebridge-discuss] Help a brother out? Hoping this is appropriate

[Danny O'Brien]

"Awesome is a collection of interactive particle effect / screen savers
specially crafted to give you, your kids, and maybe even your cat hours of
enjoyment."

Incidentally, I really can't speak for nb-discuss, but there's a bit of the
Signal to Noise newsletter that's deliberately set aside for "stuff that
people who identify with Noisebridge do", with the filtering criteria set to
"interesting" rather than anything else. Obviously, I can't guarantee that
things get in there because there's not much room, but if people want to
send me stuff that they're doing so that other Noisebridgers know about it,
why then they should totally do that sending thing.

(It helps if you prefix with something like "When I'm at Noisebridge I run
the iPhone dev group/ making stuff in Tastebridge/usually setting fire to my
own hair". And it really helps if you give me a User: page on the
Noisebridge wiki because then people can go to it and say "Oh yes that
person!")
