Speed project of the night. And I love Fritha for inspiring creativity!

I just realized I never posted (or offloaded) photos from puerto rico this summer. Best vacation ever.

Just finished rhino tutorials for mech. This is a duck. And that is a flashlight.

This is a video on kayak safety. It shows how to do things wrong.

In this diagram, we see that [brown] Santorum covers most of Iowa.

folks, that’s the best I could do.

a proof of concept/test of displaying a slice of an image/video at a time. I feel it falls between Bill Bell’s ‘lightsticks’ in the Seattle bus tunnel and Project 12:31 by Croix Gagnon and Frank Schott.

and another one.

A thing that has happened recently - I started playing around with Openframeworks again. Screenshots above.

In related news - I made this little app that lets you play with moire patterns. (sorry, mac only)

Click to add more sets of circles. The straight line originating from your mouse determines direction and velocity, and color of the ghost circle-sets is the color of the resulting moving circle-set. Press p to pause. Press p for help. Press p for more controls! And press ESCAPE to quit!

I also rewrote something Rob Hanlon, Colin Bayer and I hacked together a few years ago as a modification of Random Walk. (again, sorry, mac only.)

The applications would be great as screensavers, if only they were less processor intensive.

Thought I was going to bed early tonight, but got distracted by openframeworks instead. I can’t remember what my initial intent was, but now I’ve got hippie computer art!

Introducing the xerox machine web cam!

Well, not quite. I had this (unoriginal) idea to do a bunch of xerox machine, face on glass, images. Then I realized xerox machines are expensive, but openframeworks is free. So I threw together this app to simulate puttin yer face on a xerox machine. Will post code later once I track down this memory leak. In essence, it’s a low-feature slit scan.

I love openframeworks.

study music.

matt and kim - yea yeah

Toro Y Moi show was awesome. I expected it to be more chill than funky, and was pleasantly surprised. <3 <3 <3!!! and lauren danced with me.

One thing most people don’t know about me is I did a lot of needlework when I was little, mostly cross stitch and sewing. I’ve had an odd hankering to do some embroidery lately, though it’s not in my skillset.

Peter’s folks are currently in Vietnam. I’ve heard of liquor from there with snakes and scorpions in it, but I guess his dad drank some with a blackbird. Weeeirrrddd!

So, in the Portlandian esthetic, I put a bird on it. Time to completion, about 4 hours.

Additionally, if any folks are interested, I don’t want to keep this piece. Trades encouraged.

This was the product of today’s creative energies. Looped three times so you only have to replay a third the amount you would normally.

Imagine you’re in an alpine hut. This hut is covered in feet of snow. Now you are awoken to this J-POP [sans sexy dancing girls] and gongs by innocent-looking Japanese students for three days two hours earlier than you need to be. You are fed gravy for dinner.

Welcome to Japan.
