In november, VRMag returned with a brand new issue. Marco Trezzini chose one of my Sziget panoramas for the interactive index of the issue. The issue got a very nice mention on boingboing. If you just glance over the article on boingboing, it is almost as if John Gaeta is talking about my panorama ;-)

Director @ Night
For you Director users out there be sure to keep an hour free tomorrow for the 2nd online meeting related to the future of Director.
According to Macromartin, the organizer, the meeting will be held for 1 hour to discuss:
1. The current state of Director
2. The future of Director
3. Introducing the public Director Feature Request System & Poll
4. Q&A and community chat‘The future of Director’ is my most concern. But I doubt that the answer will be a negative one since participants are all Director users.
For more information and the location of the online meeting read this post on K-Director.
I’ll be there!
On Direct-L it was announced that an updated version of the PRegEx Xtra for Director 11 will be release in the next few weeks. Great news!
PRegEx is a free, open source, Xtra that brings the power of Perl regular expressions and list handling to Lingo.

Beware though, all three of these functions have been reported to collide, meaning that different strings can yield to same results.

Boing Boing
Snip from NYT story by Miguel Helft:
Google and Viacom said they were hoping to come up with a way to protect the anonymity of the site’s visitors. Viacom also said that the information would be safeguarded by a protective order restricting access to the data to outside lawyers, who will use it solely to press Viacom’s $1 billion copyright suit against Google.Google Told to Turn Over User Data of YouTube [New York Times]Still, the judge’s order, which was made public late Wednesday, renewed concerns among privacy advocates that Internet companies like Google are collecting unprecedented amounts of private information that could be misused or fall unexpectedly into the hands of third parties.
“These very large databases of transactional information become honey pots for law enforcement or for litigants,” said Chris Hoofnagle, a senior fellow at the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology.

test

Last year I was approached by Jurriaan van Dam with an idea for an interactive audio installation that would record the sounds made by visitors walking through a hallway and play them back a few seconds later a few meters further, so that you would keep hearing the sounds you were making as you walked along the hallway. I programmed a prototype version of his idea using cps but Jurriaan died before we could test it. His friends at LoFar decided to finish the installation in his memory, and contacted 11, who generously co-funded the project and let us build it there. You can try it out for yourself every day before 10pm, until saturday, after which 11 will be closed and demolished.

I’m a sucker for interesting robots. Especially if they are built out of Legos. Everybody loves the Legway, but you have to admit that the concept is overly simplistic. The real challenge is building the system around the limited resources of Lego’s RCX.
Now meet another balancing robot courtesy of Maurits Kooiman on Lugnet. This one balances on one wheel and apparently uses two RCX bricks and four sensors along with three tires to maintain balance on the axis perpendicular to its unicycle. The robot balances on the main axis by directly powering the wheel. The axis perpendicular to its unicycle is balanced by the set of rotating tires. The fourth tire seems to be a freely swingy pendulum, but it may in fact be controlled by yet another motor. Check out the video!
I officially declare this site back in action! I been ignoring it for too long. Over the past week, I have updated Typo and designed a new layout. This is not the completely final version, though. The header/logo and advertisements need some work. The previous layout performed very well in that department. Hopefully this layout will make up for the difference by attracting more repeat visitors.
As you can see, the new layout is significantly better on the eyes. Unfortunately, it has some issues with Internet Explorer 6. Hopefully I can figure out what is causing the extra space to appear. Here is a quick list of the updates:
Windows Vista Typefaces: Vista includes some “cute” fonts. If you have them installed, then the new layout uses Calibri. The best way to describe it is “semi-serif.” It actually replaces Times New Roman as the default font in Office 2007.
Fluid width and resolution independence. Go ahead, resize your text. The sidebar automatically resizes as well! Of course I also added fluid width. (Fixed width is useless.)
The colors are kinder on the eyes. I grew tired of deep red and flashy magenta.
Better readability around the ads. I might regret this one, but at least you can read through the copy without getting a headache now.
Watch for a new post detailing my upcoming endevors!

Fourth of July fireworks might seem tame to Matt Stromberg via Gizmodo.
The Savannah College of Art and Design professor of foundation studies and sculpture uses rocket fuel, explosives, pyrotechnics, propellants and munitions to create earth-shattering art. These energetic materials are used to manipulate metal, wood and paper -- using destruction to create art.Stromberg's creations include sculpted metal panels. He's also used a submachine gun to create pigment-infused solid rocket-fuel paint that is literally shot into stone.
"I think it stems from a long-term interest in energetic materials," Stromberg says. "Recently, with the birth of my daughter, my wife and I were thinking about what we are going to teach her. I want to encourage her to seek out things in life she finds interesting.
"I've always liked energetic materials," he says. "I think the risk-taking is a big part of it, which is probably a key element of being an artist."
Stromberg first began experimenting with energetic materials last year. It's not something for the faint of heart. "I would say it's very dangerous," Stromberg says.
