iSight for OutSide
This project would be basically connecting my 2 classes - Producing Participatory Media + Networked Objects
In my PPM class we’re doing live streaming during lecture. So 2 - 3 people go to another classroom and watch lecture through web.
Last week, we tried our first streaming service and I noticed there is one major [...]

As the season moves closer to spring the weather changes as well. I have found my change in this time as well. I am so amazingly busy with school that I have little time to post, in fact it took me almost a month to post my pictures from the snowstorm….

Macworld 2006 Streamcast
Macworld 2006
I decided to check out the Macworld 2006 stream from January. It uses QuickTime streaming technology with MPEG-4 as its codec. It seemed to buffer very quickly compared with a progressive download of equivalent length (1:45 TRT); however after only 30 seconds it started experiencing quite a bit of video hiccups and [...]

Ridiculous, offensive, but damn funny!

Parkour Movement
This left me speechless… The idea of pushing ourselves beyond physical limits… Whenever a redically new art form springs up out of nowhere it just blows your mind.

So as the semester moves forward at, close to the speed of light I have a notion of anxiety that has been creeping steadily of late. I am running out of money, spending too much. . . . even if I spend nothing, I feel like I am. I am near constantly bus…

Some good notes on USB Programming for the PIC, from Daniel Hirschmann, tested by Amit Pitaru. Jeff Gray’s Del.icio.us links on USB are good too.

Artsoftware.org is a nice repository of open source, shareware and freeware software that’s useful in the arts.

Thanks to Casey Reas for the link.

Ubisense makes a real time locating system (RTLS) that can locate objects with 15cm accuracy in 3 dimensions. To do this, they attach a tag to each object that has a built-in radio, and a series of radio receivers around the space that they’re tracking in. The receivers receive signals from the tags, and triangulate their location based on radio signal strength.

It’s not the kind of system an individual could afford to buy or setup, and it has its limits. For example, the tags are fairly large. But it could be useful for certain research situations, or inventory control of large items.

Thanks to Allison Woodruff for the link.

From their site:

“NeuroSky, a fabless semiconductor/module company, has developed a non-invasive neural sensor and signal processing technology that converts brainwaves and eye movements into useful electronic signals to communicate with a wide range of electronic devices, consoles, and computers.”

So far they haven’t got any links to an actual product for sale up. IF they ever do get it to market, though, it could be fun to play with.

Thanks to Clay Shirky for the link.

Sparkfun has started two new spin-off sites recently, BatchPCB and OpenCircuits.

BatchPCB is a site for getting printed circuit boards printed cheaply: $2.50 per square inch. Send them a Gerber file and they send you your boards. It’s slower than other PCB fab sites, because they manufacture them in batches, but it’s one of the cheapest I’ve seen.

OpenCircuits is an open wiki of circuits for projects. So far most of the circuits there are parts from the Sparkfun inventory, but others are undoubtedly on their way. It’s open to contributions as well.

In Flames Concert
I linked up with Andy last wednesday and thrashed it out to some Swedish heavy metal at Webster Hall. It definitely rocked, I haven’t had such a good aggression release in some time. They have a great stage presence and know how to rock you. The hits from the double-pedal drums and the [...]

Today in Union Square a few hundred people convened for a pillow fight at 2:00 pm. It was awesome. This weekend I am the care-taker of Sadie, an 11 year old Pit Bull. She could be the sweetest dog ever. Seriously, . . . . EVER. Well I have met some gre…

How the time flies. . . . I have a mountain of work to do. Today I creating a program in Java that will respond remotely via ethernet to soundwaves. I also, of course moved here, which I feel is a much better place to be. Just FYI BOOKMARK THIS PAGEAs …

Der Telefon Anruf

This short film is a music video for the German techno song, “Der Telefon Anruf”.
The concept behind the short film is based on developing the story of X, Y, and Z identifying with each other through ‘disconnected phones’. X, Y and Z are private individuals. However, they are drawn to each [...]

February 4, 2006Today I found myself in the grasp of McLuhan. Through his writings I studied the anthropologic evolution of square houses. I learned that zero was not a concept until the Rennassiance, and I also learned that reading hours and hours of …

I knew it had to be possible to view serial data in the OSX terminal window, but I’m not enough of a unix geek to figure it out. Finally, a little googling told me what I needed to know. Here’s how to read and send serial data from the terminal in OSX.

This is the assignment for methods of motion. I made a pixelation animation with Anh Nguyen.

Lucas Cueni has a blog of various interactive projects, most of which involve multiple physical objects making up a larger image, physical pixel-style.

Interfacebus.com is a very useful site covering a number of details about electronics, including:

• Types of components, and details about them
• How to know what the package types of different components look like
• Pinouts of many different connectors, like this one for USB
• Details of many electrical engineering standards, including voltage levels, timing, and so forth.

The concept of video blogging is something that I’ve always had an interest in without realizing it. I just like the concept if disseminating video content online directly to a wide range of viewers without any filtration and then being able to get their commentary.

This is my Digital Sound Lab assignment for Fall 2005. When I first moved to NY, when people spoke to each other in English it just sounded like some type of audio rhythm sometimes.
So I wanted to make a song with recoreded voice.
Tikva Morowati and Zach Layton helped me with their voice.

OK… this is my second attempt at a blog, while my first one dealt more with extended personal note taking on all my nerdy ITP classes at NYU, this one will deal exclusively with all the hottest issues that I am positive everyone linking here will be excitied about. This includes a shitload of links [...]
