This week’s lab was to make two lights blink via the Arduino board. I’m running late on posting, I know, but I’ll have a full write-up soon. Meantime, pictures:
(Sidenote — M83 is stellar listening for tweaking LED’s. Oddly enough, so is Failure. And N.W.A.)
Fun fact — if you put way too [...]
…and trashed the redesigned header, going back to the original template’s nifty green fade.
This was the old header (in context):
The more I looked at it, the more it made me laugh — but the more it distracted me. Either I’ll need to overhaul the design to match that wacky-whimsy feel, or I’ll need to [...]
So we were tasked with the redesign of our new ITP blogs, which for most people was probably a good thing, as these sites were mostly untouched by stylesheets and color modifications. However, for me, I’d cheated and found a really good template that I already really liked. So what’d I do? [...]
The first Physical Computing lab has already endeared the subject to me, in that it featured tweaking fun-colored lights. In short, we were tasked to do a few short setups:
* circuit with a switch and an LED
* circuit with several LED’s in wired in series
* circuit with an LED and both a fixed and [...]
Not sure if I’m supposed to be posting my ICM homework — but I did anyway. So there.
The second half of this week’s work was to write a 55-word story according to the rules of the Fifty-Five-Fiction contest. This sounded like a high school dream (only 55 words?! sweet!!), but it’s amazing how hard it turned out to be — getting any statement of value in that little space is [...]
I just finished reading through several of the articles we’d been given for this particular assignment, and the one that hit closest to home (especially for this week’s work) is Rebecca Mackinnon’s “Blogging, Journalism and Credibility” piece that ran in The Nation on March 17, 2005. Jay Rosen, associate professor of journalism at NYU, [...]
Hi, my name is Mike, and I’m a student of nerdery. Welcome to the ITP Blog, where I’ll be ranting and raving about everything related to my studies at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (simply “ITP” henceforth). There’s going to be a dumptruckload of changes in the next few weeks, but for now, hi!
