Okay, actually, it didn’t quite work out like that at all, but here is the almost-a-week-overdue story of how I was tasked to make an improv project for my Networked Objects class (which involved monkeys, pudding, lentils, cups, etc), how it all kinda worked, and then how it all mostly sucked in the end.
I started [...]

Having spent the entire second half of the semester focused on one single project for Physical Computing, it’s very difficult to take a few steps back and try to recap the entire experience. However, as that’s pretty much the whole point of presenting to an audience, let’s give this a try, shall we?

So i finally un-screwed my code and got the tri-color LED talking to Processing, which is right now telling it to change color every so often. This is very good. Right now it’s [...]

So I emptied out all my junk drawers/bins/shelves at my apartment, and found that all the shit I’d been hoarding for years may finally come in handy. Broken printer? [...]

Okay, so my to-do list for pComp doesn’t look too horrible right now:
I’ve started to get this tree thing off the ground, first with a sketch:
Which is based largely on these two tree ideas:

She works! My lil’ mini withstood its first (and second) test of blinky lighting, thanks to the diagram Arduino.cc put up and Jane Oh’s neato how-to.

So people like trees, it seems.
I’d spent this week observing trees, spaces without trees, and people’s opinions of trees. The latter actually proved the most fruitful, with
What I’d like to do is create something like this:
