A quick test of the current Flex interface for iDesign communicating to the Creston control system 2 states away..
Have to say it’s quite fun — sort of reminds me of the old Director3d — or at the least the stuff that Barry Swan was coding as billboards before Director added true 3d support. I’m writing a class for it for a sort of flipping card interface; I’ve seen this done before in Flash…
I’m working on a Flex front end talking to a Crestron backend – and one of the things we’re doing is creating templates of different devices, one being a family of Crown amplifiers, each of which might have 2, 4 or 8 channels of audio to display. Each channel starts out with a Crestron join,…

Just saw this app on TUAW and my fear that robots will take over has gotten one step closer in reality. Â Though that little mechanical friend seems so cute (awww! A tuxedo!) it’s really powerful (as I’ve been claiming our future overlords will be!), as seen in the super capable mits of Jordan Rudess:
I caught this post over on Peter Kirn’s Create Digital Music that shows another example of Augmented Reality being used in an extremely cool way. Todd Vanderlin updates us on his little virtual dj projects and demonstrates how he’s using augmented reality for his scratching. Now the only scratching I know would usually entail some…
Saw this over at Peter Kirn’s CreateDigitalMusic and luckily I’ve got a jailbroken iPhone, so I’m going to have to play with this. I’ve already had TouchOSC going through OSCulator to control Live so there’s nothing new there – but would like to see if the multi-touch control is reminiscent of the reactable. MSAFluid for…
Was watching this insane video from TED where Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry of MITâ??s Fluid Interfaces Lab show how one can become a gargoyle from Neal Stephensonâ??s â??Snow Crashâ??: wearable tech that is the aware of the userâ??s environment – for instance projecting amazonâ??s rating of a book one is thinking of purchasing, or…
Thereâ??s a little audio clip of Christian Bale losing it on the set of Terminator 4 that started floating around on the internet yesterday, this link courtesy of Tyler Durdenâ?¦ Whatâ??s sweet is that only 12 hours later, DJ RevoLucian has already set it to music so that you can your groove on while CB…
* sung to the tune of  “Lovely Rita” by The Beatles.  Yeah, ok – doesn’t make it any funnier… David Deraedt created this nifty little Air/Flex app for administrating your SQLite databases — helpful for developing your own Air applications. How very meta.
Former Limelight employee John C Bland helps me out with getting Flex to see the live Limelight stream…
Saw this over at TUAW. Some guy named Dennis Liu made this music video for a band called The Bird and the Bee using his mac desktop. Pretty cool; and shows how a little ingenuity can go a long way. ** originally posted on scribemedia
I just finished watching this presentation by medical illustrator and animator David Bolinsky â?? posted first on the TED site back in July, and lately refreshed on motionographer â?? and thought it was worthwhile pushing it here. ** originally posted on scribemedia
Itâ??s appropriate that riding this thing would be the equivalent of kicking me in my naughty bits; as the inventor, Ben Gulak is only 18 years old, and thatâ??s enough of a kick to the groin. Canadian too. Ouch. It looks like one wheel, but itâ??s actually 2 wheels side to side and using gyroscope…
Interesting video showing how multidimensional data can be compared using the new olap classes in Flex 3; the write up can be found here.  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/videos/olap/  Â
Great site to get free or donationware vst plugins and the like can be found here.
Well, I gotta say Yahoo is really embracing Flash and Flex – thereâ??s a really good API detailing the new AS3 Maps API for embedding Yahoo maps within a Flex or Flash interface â?? a neat little example is here. Yahoo already has some examples, screencasts and other fun bits. And to think, I was…
I finally got akaRemote installed and launching properly on my iPhone (copy to the iPhone via AFP, then chmod -R 777 *), and, using artificialeyes.tv on my MacBookPro as translation to Ableton Live, I threw together this little screencast: This is also using the fantastically new ScreenFlow which allows you to have two video sources…
Thereâ??s a number of programming languages that allow you to manipulate video – high end applications like Max/MSP/Jitter, or open source languages like Processing are common examples of these languages. Lately thereâ??s been a bit of a new kid on the scene called PureData – or Pd – which seems to be Maxâ??s open source…
