Video and Sound: Video Test
Just me playing with the F-Stop, Aperture, and ISO on the DSLR cameras for class.
Video & Sound: Video Storyboard
So Stan, Grau and I decide to go with a humorous How-To akin to the How To Basic video shown in class. We’ve decided to go with the idea of how to code a Human. One of use will playthe “Human”, the other the Coder, and the third will play both director and cinematographer. (We …
PComp Labs: Digital I/O, Analog I/O, and Servo
Okay so the first labs were pretty easy (once I figured out my placement–the way the switches are are a bit confusing !) Video: Potentiometer Lab: Setup was relatively painless, and my issue was the basic coding fare (forgetting semicolons and whatnot). Servo Lab: So here is where I had the trouble. The setup …
ICM: Week Three

Bloodchild Audio Collage
I apologize! I forgot we had to post a post with the embedded clip! After what seems like an age and everything going wrong for me, here it is. Mine is sort of a audio collage with a hint of an audio drama feel, meant to be as it is– consumed via internet access. Is …
PComp Labs: Breadboard Setup, Swtiches, and Motor
Before I begin, I will share I thought I had a busted breadboard. Friday I had a setup and I used a 9-volt battery and my laptop and for some reason it wasn’t working. Turns out I just had bad layout in retrospect. (Thanks to Dror for testing my breadboard out for me because I …

Response: Don Norman and Tom Igoe
Don Norman’s entries covered the concept of design and how it difficult it truly is to make a design that balances out functionality and aesthetics– something covered in a different sense when I studied for my graphic design degree. I suppose design no matter where you go, follows some same rules and the like. Phones …
