Manifold Motion's ability to work magic with yarn puts to shame all the stitchin', bitchin' hipsters whose facility with knitting needles has never exceeded the ability to make scarves.

The above is a video composed of footage from Mind Camp 2.0, held in April earlier this year. Seattlest attended and had some great interactions discussing the web, debating the future of digital music, melting hard drives and eating some far from mediocre food.
