Immaterials: Light painting WiFi
This is not the first amazing project I’ve seen affiliated with BERG this year. Check out this physical visualization of wi-fi networks in a city. I really enjoyed seeing the drop off in signal from the older residential building butt up into the chaotic mesh of signals in the street.

To watch people play it anyways! You and a friend control a spaceship, and the only way to make it shoot is to say “PEW” into a microphone. Skip towards the end when they start showing the people playing the game, instead of the game itself.

My friend Scott just got himself a ticket to attend this conference, and it looks awesome! I won’t be able to go, but I’m saving the link here. The front page basically lists (and links to) all the most amazing information/design/experience people working today.

eyeo brings together the most creative coders, designers and artists working today, and shaping tomorrow – expect an amazing three days of talks, labs, demos & events fueled by the people and tools that are transforming digital culture.
converge to inspire.

Romain Laurent

I bought my first dSLR about a month ago. The pics aren’t too great yet, and I’m always looking for other inspirational pics. Found this site through heavy-backpack. I have to say, dang, these are some pretty awesome looking photographs! Looks like Romain Laurent is in NYC (of course).

These literal New Yorker captions literally made me LOL.

(Actually I did; it echoed “”Hello World!” to the screen, but I don’t really count that.) I don’t really have the time or inclination to learn the Andriod way or iPhone way of doing things. This is a great way of using the knowledge I already have to create services on a wide variety of platforms. Does anyone else use this? What was your experience?

The success of iPhone and Android, the emergence of Tablet computing, and the promise of Desktop Linux have created great opportunities for application developers … as well as created a new set of challenges. While the market for applications is larger than ever before, developing and supporting multiple platforms can be complicated and expensive.
Enter Appcelerator, a new platform and services company that is enabling Web developers to build intuitive, content-rich applications for Mobile, Tablet and Desktop platforms.
