Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Dorkbot Austin, a hackerspace in the hometown of SXSW, held an event tonight and it was, well, electrifying. Featured were mind controlled gaming devices, iPod controlled vehicles, and more from Waterloo Labs, homemade electro music by Handmade Music Austin and Bodytronix, and Bre Pettis’s open-source hacktoys (see our Motherboard episode about his NYC Resistor).

Oh, and this awesome performance by ArcAttack featuring “singing Tesla coils.”!
