It was really quite an amazing piece of technology. It did quite a good job really, but most of the pictures took around 30 minutes to get them done. Not bad I suppose.

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
Turing Fest programme
A really good event. Well worth the visit. I think that if I manage to go to Edinburgh for next year’s festival I’ll have to try to get along to more stuff.
A visit to Turing Fest
I really wanted to get along to something at Turing Fest this year and as I was in Edinburgh I was able to. It was a bit of a stretch though as I was leaving on the day that Turing Fest started. Anyway, I got along for a session on the first day. The session was about aligning the interests of investors and entrepreneurs. Whilst it was largely based around the Edinburgh start up scene I learnt a lot about the venture capital process itself and how VCs and angel investors look at start ups.
I wish I could have stuck around for more of the sessions, but that wasn’t possible sadly. Maybe next year.
Nexus + Arduino, first step …
Getting these two finally connected is just the first step! Loads more to do with this as I think it’s going to form the basis of a number of projects for me.
Launchpad: Clicks
An interesting experiment at Launchpad in the Science Museum. This made some cool clicks and percussive sounds depending on what surface you placed the boxes on.
Still thinking about integrating Romo into music making
I’m not sure how, but I think it needs to be done!
The Sphero is on the go
I’m really intrigued by the idea of physical objects interacting with the real world, which is why I decided to get a Sphero ball. It’s a very interesting device, and there are a few apps that work with it, including especially Shapesynth, which makes some amazing sounds.
So I’m just getting started now on this, and starting to think about how I can use Sphero in a variety of different settings.
DS-10 again
I’ve no idea why, but I have a real bug for doing something on the DS again. I really fancy getting back to it for some reason. Perhaps it’s because it has become quite distant and retro, I’m not sure, but I may well indulge myself for a while.
iPad + Paul’s Shruthi-1
I posted this over at Palm Sounds, but it’s a good picture of Genome running on the iPad and controlling Paul’s Shruthi-1. So it goes here too.
Paul’s Shruthi-1
A really nice example of the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 in steam punk style. Sounds awesome too!
I posted this over at Palm Sounds as well this morning, but I wanted to put it here as well.
