  • Toad Particle Draw on Android

    This is a bit silly – been playing with Processing, getting into the deep geometric capabilities of toxiclibs and GLGraphics and Android. It started as a new VJ… er, “pixelist” app for live performance for a jam session celebrating our friend Olivier Ruellet’s life and untimely death last year from what we think was swine…

  • Are Jobs Obsolete?

    My response to Douglas Rushkoff’s article “Are Jobs Obsolete” that has provoked a bit of discussion. Rushkoff is an acquired taste. Really, it’s very hard to write as much as he does and make sense the entire time, and he does it pretty well by throwing some big ideas out there and provoking thought.  But…

  • Free Memory in Android

    A few students of mine have been wondering about checking how much memory is being used on Android (using Processing) for their games, so I came up with a simple sketch that uses some built-in Android Debug features (reference here):

  • Video Tracking for Curtain Call

    I put a few videos of the people-tracking system I’m using for Roundhouse’s Curtain Call up on youtube:

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • Google’s GWT for Web Games

    I’ve been (slowly) working on a side project with my students that is a Processing “games engine” – or at least, a system for developing games in a reusable and sane way using Processing, that deploys onto Android, the web, etc. Then I saw what Google’s been up to.

  • TEDxKids Brussels 2011 Video

    Videos have just been posted for all the TEDxKids talks. Here is ours on creativity, art, and technology, and teaching people the “can do” and “can think” spirit:

  • Web Audio – It is finally (almost) here?

    You might have seen that the new Angry Birds for Chrome has audio support but it falls back on Flash. Boo. Cheating. Then I saw this – http://sdfphd.net/creativepact2010/sdfahDev_0007.html – and realized that making proper music in a web browser isn’t just a far-off dream anymore. See what you can do with Javascript, the new web…
