Let’s play with electricity

This week doesn’t require any mad programming skills and just basic electrical know how. With the help of helping hands, this allows me to both hold the points together to get a reading on the multimeter and take a picture at the same time. Of course this one beeps. So does this one. Notice that [ READ MORE ]

Under pressure

Named after that song from Queen, now I have to program the arduino to recognize an analog input. Meaning, it’s not just as simply flipping a switch. This requires and entirely different mindset. Using a knobthingy commonly known as a “potentiometer”, it allows the light to switch on once you turn it past a certain [ READ MORE ]

Wind machine

There used to be a cable channel back home that was called the “Aquarium channel” which was basically a camera pointed at a very large aquarium and played classical music the whole day. Sometimes, there would be dead fish floating and other times it was being cleaned or something. Eventually they took it out and [ READ MORE ]

I went through 3 different revisions of the code posted last week since now I had to add “void setup” and “void draw”. [ READ MORE ]

Now they’ve announced Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assasin featuring Felicia Day. So it’s not the made for the web tv show that Bioware announced earlier [ READ MORE ]

What are the sensors in my neighborhood?

This particular button is not common in New York well at least I haven’t seen much of it in Manhattan. But pressing this button will tell the traffic signal light that there is a pedestrian who wants [ READ MORE ]

Website design analysis

For the first homework for CommLab, I’ve selected a local Philippine news website for analysis. http://interaksyon.com “Interaksyon.com” is the news website of the television station TV5. After being recently acquired two years ago, they have yet to establish as webpresence as a news organization. Most Filipinos get their online news from three major websites which [ READ MORE ]

Talk to Me @ MOMA

The “Talk to Me” exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York is appropriate for the timing of the show and the scope that it shows. The show in my opinion basically conveys, everything is interactive. Even though everything is interactive, there are varying degrees of interactivity. Some installations required you to actually [ READ MORE ]
