I don’t care what the critics say, I like the new Bloc Party album. Maybe it’s the reference to Less Than Zero in the first track: Song for Clay (Disappear Here) but I think the entire thing is a damn good listen. Also in other news of things that are badly reviewed but I seem [...]

The Slinky Metronome is now fully operational. I gave a presentation and demonstration of it in Mechanisms on Thursday. The Slinky Metronome is a Sociable Object. It keeps a steady beat, based upon the period of the Slinky spring, and broadcasts that beat out via 802.15.4 radio to the entire ITP floor. Electronic musical instruments, [...]

So if you’re in San Francisco and you like music made by The Nimoys, I guess you’ll probably need a friend who works at this company so you can go to this private corporate show. But I thought I might blog it anyway in case you know how to jump a fence and pick locks. Come watch as Marc and I make semi-danceable beats from disassembled products for the entertainment of the good folks at Yahoo. At the Yahoo Brickhouse.

10,11, y 12 de Mayo: International Festival for the Post-Digital Creation Culture. Come watch Josh type out a C++ hello world demo in emacs in front of 1200 Spaniards. Represent.

Here’s the presentation that Kate and I gave in Jeff Feddersen’s Sustainable Energy on the second prototype for Solar Botanicalls. This version includes battery monitoring circuitry that creates a text message asking the user to change the batteries. We figured that while the plant makes phone calls when it needs something, electronics needs should be [...]

So this rat got stepped on by someone who is pretty mean. . . . his brain squirted out his mouth. Gross.

It’s no secret that the Streampad Desktop has been difficult to set up. In addition to requiring an advanced networking degree, you also needed to make sure the Java on your computer was in a good mood.
Well, that’s no longer the case!
I’d like to announce the Alpha release of the new Desktop, done in Adobe [...]

holy crap! I’m in Tibet!
a very quick trip, but totally overwhelming. lots of stuff to process. will have to write a separate entry about this when i can articulate it better. was much more adept at dealing with the altitude than i thought i would be. only a headache the first night and then a regular intake of motrin did the trick. pictures are slowly being uploaded to the flickr site.

ITP Student List Conversations is a visualization of the e-mail conversations that have occurred on the ITP student e-mail list. The amount of conversation between two people is determined by how much they participate in the same discussion threads.

The strength of the connection between two people is determined by multiplying the number of e-mails they each send to the same thread and adding together these numbers for each thread. So if you and I each sent 1 message to a thread, we get 1 connection “point” added to our “score.” If we each sent 3 messages to a different thread, we would get 9 connection points (3×3). For a total of 10 connection points (1+9). More connection points are represented by heavier lines connecting two people.

This project was developed using Processing along with some PHP and MySQL.

Note: I just posted this to the blog today because there has been a bit of interest in the project the past couple of weeks. So here you go!

back in beijing. the trip to the UK was fab. manchester was very inspiring. Renny and Richard were amazing hosts and very good cooks. never decline one their invitations. trust me.

this trip has got me thinking about a lot of things, but one thing is the idea of living like a tourist in one’s own home. i’m going to try and keep up the flickr stream now that i’m back in beijing. try to take more

I took some pictures at the Biology and Art: Two Worlds or One? conference presented by the New York Academy of Science.
I hadn’t realized that Theo Jasen had used a genetic algorithm to get the lengths for his beach animals. There are 11 sections in each leg that contribute of the shape of the [...]

Calling all New Yorkers!
I’ve been developing a new line of absurd communication devices that explore the subtle ways we relate to ourselves and to others (think “muttering hat“, if you know what that is).
From April 16th-20th, I’ll be running some rapid user testing here in NYC which means that YOU will have the chance to [...]

Well that didn’t last very long. Apparently Warner Music did not realize what AnywhereCD was doing and pulled their catalog within hours of launch. You can no longer buy MP3 albums for $12. You can still buy CDs for $15 and you possibly get the MP3s, although I am not sure how that works.
Warner Music [...]

Michael Robertson is at it again. For those who don’t know him by name, Michael is the guy that founded mp3.com, sold it for a lot of money and subsequently started a few great companies since. His latest venture in music is MP3Tunes. If you haven’t checked out MP3Tunes, you should. It’s an online locker [...]

A simple metering interface to increase awareness of the solar energy available in relation to daily electricity consumption. [some documentation to date]

After many hours of soldering (and a few potential near-death experiences), the board is now soldered into place. I imagine there will be more versions, however, this one will be the working prototype for the armband.
A few issues I ran into:
- bluetooth sending signal (as identified by the red light on the blueSMiRF module) to [...]

…the way i thought it would.

A home inspection later and we’re on the search again. We’re not ready to pay for a new roof or deal with 36 pages of action items.

Back to the drawing board

Just finished the design for the new Highlights space which I will develop with two of our Open-Source community members, Avital Oliver and Dudu Buchbut.

User Scenario:

The user launches the space through the shift-menu
The Highlights tool-bar opens allowing the user to:

highlight by drag+drop on text (the cursor changes to this icon)
repeat the highlight action [...]

Trails is the upcoming main addition to ShiftSpace it is an an interface for mapping information in the world of ShiftSpace. the idea is that shift (ShiftSpace annotations/interventions/user-generated-content) left on different pages will be trailed together into information maps.
We have been drafting tons of mockups, trying to figure out how should it work, what would [...]

Last year for my birthday, Isabel took me to see Handsome Boy Modeling School at Irving Plaza. They were great, and so was the opener - K-OS. He reminded me of The Roots - rapping over live instruments. I remember some covers as well as some original stuff. I left the show wanting to check [...]

Moving project onto a smaller Arduino (in addition to battery vs USB power source) will allow the project to become portable enough to test as an armband.
