patoadamI thought that this article about Dorkbot meetings, an unusual format for creative ideas, might be of interest to my friends who feel that every act of creation is an act of faith, joy, hope, and love.
By the way, when Cat Faber wrote that "every act of creation is an act of faith," I thought that she meant that a creative act is a mitzvah (I hope I am using the word right), a worthy deed pleasing to God. When I asked Cat about it, she told me that that wasn't what she meant at all. I still like the phrase.
