Userbreezing
From EureKamp 2008 Wiki
Userbreezing
Comparing to *storming, *breezing is a side activity, not directly aimed at stimulating ideas, but rather wandering around idea-related topics. userbreezing are additional interactive participant-generated activities in the spirit of the camp. Userbreezing takes place in the 3 UB (UserBreezing) rooms and includes regular activites like discussions, workshops, etc around topics in the spirit of the camp: ideas, creativity, technology, trends, research, commercialization of ideas, etc.
Please add below your activity title with a short description and your name.

האינטרנט והארון מאת ענבל שרייבר
על כוחו של האינטרנט כאמצעי לשינוי תפיסות
האם וכיצד משפיע האינטרנט כאמצעי תקשורת המוני המהווה גורם מרכזי בהשפעה על דעת קהל, על הדרכים שבהם הומוסקסואלים רואים את עצמם.
ריבוי התכנים והדימויים של הומוסקסואלים באמצעי המדיה ההמוניים, נובע בחלקו באמצעות האינטרנט, כשהומוסקסואלים משתמשים בצ'אטים, פורומים, ואתרי אינטרנט, בין פלטפורמות תקשורת אינטרנטיות אחרות, כדי לתקשר אחד עם השני על חייהם ואהבותיהם. פורטלים פופולאריים כמו gogay.co.il, מתגאים בכמות כניסות ערה וגדלה, וכמות העמודים בעלי תכנים הומוסקסואליים נראית כמעט בלתי סופית. האינטרנט מספק שפע של תכנים והזדמנויות לחקור כיצד סוגים של הומוסקסואלים בונים, מייצגים ומבטאים את הבנתם אודות מיניות ונטייה מינית

What can you do with a bicycle? by Gilad Saadoun (BizTEC)
What are the inventions the really change your life?
Those cool pictures (at nif.org.in) demonstrate the basic creativity that changes the life of millions of people. Grassroots technology is the hi-tech industry for the poor and by leveraging those technologies we can have a major impact on big population (and maybe X100000 on our investment, but we won't discuss it).
What can you do with eBicycles? by On
Failed to generate interest; moved to Kinnernet per Yossi's request.
If there is interest after the cortexstorm settles (and lunch is over), we can run a systems-engineering exercise using the following ingredients:
-
1 USB gaming controller -
1½ pairs of Chinese eBikes -
¼ jet fighter plane (software only) -
15 kg of high-tech composite materials (optional)
What comes out is so disruptivly good that it must be immoral, illegal or make you fat.

Infoholics Anonymous
Host: Oren Tirosh
Lost jobs. Broken families. Pale faced addicts seeking the next fix with shaking hands...
Sorry. No twelve step programs here. We are not really seeking to kick the habit. We enjoy it too much. We just want to discuss our sources of dope and share our favorite methods of shooting up. Important notice: intravenous administration of information will not be allowed on the camp.
