Here we are at day two, which finds me blogging when I should be listening. And so it goes.
Yesterday I caught a pile of great talks, starting with Stamen Design’s data visualization session, moving on to Tom Igoe’s Making Things Talk tutorial, and ending with Tim O’Reilly’s Radar.
We Socialbombers were also able to sneak into Tom’s talk by serving as helpers while people were wiring up their boards and learning how to use Arduino with Processing. It’s fun to watch people take a three-hour crash course on a semester and a half of ITP — and they did really well with it! Lots of new happy Arduino owners now.

And we ducked out for a while to work on our SB units, and fired them all up for the first time together. They’re much smaller, lighter, and cooler than our first units, defintiely, and they hang quite well from the conference lanyards!

There’s still some issues to work out (a few cranky boards, battery concerns, the crosstalk at startup), but it’s such a huge flying leap from the work we did on this a year ago.
Back at it now, watching Paul Torrens‘ talk on crowd modeling.
