Oh I am so getting this, apparently this little guy is meant for parents to be able to monitor their children. You plug in the SnoopStick to the childs computer and it installs a undetectable software….

Wow… The US keeps on surprising me. They have now invented a device that can hurt people. But wait, this device only produces light. Sounds crazy right. I thought the same thing. It appears that the US army as devised a 7.5 candlepower beam of light to hurt a person without actually killing them. So…

I dedicate this week’s post to my good friend, Dan. Dan is a wonderful guy. Dan is awesome. You should get to know Dan if you haven’t already. He’s funny. Anyway, my head was hurting from all the circuitry work and information, so I decided to move my mind elsewhere and try something fun with…

I don’t know if it can, but I like the scale and scope of this project. Hopefully it can inspire people to think in new directions about what we might create for this building. Is it a platform for literal expression or are the users inputs scattered, skewed, translated, turned inside-out?

The SoniColumn by Jin-Yo Mok is a simple design in which LEDs light up when touched and are played as the notes of a music box as one turns the crank controlling the tall column of lights. It is meant to be a look into the relationship that digital art has with analog art. It…

So I took some pictures today of the AA building and it’s windows. Since Sabrina mentioned the possibility of putting an installation there for the final project, I keep looking at them.

Well, it seems as though computers are being put into robots who shovel snow. So if they can do that I think they can do other things. This is one way that…

This glove is designed to assist someone with performing CPR by “measuring frequency and depth of the compressions along with detecting a pulse no matter the strength and informing of its speed. It uses audio tones to help the user maintain an optimal level and speed of compressions.” This COULD potentially save lives, but the…
