Political Resistance?

No just electrical. Learn How-to read the color code on resistors thanks to Home X hero Becky. Posted on Makezine.com,

I Didnt Do It.

Home X students have made the press once again. This time Home X hunk, and first-responder, Todd Vanderlin has bested the Dept. Of Homeland Security in his ever-vigilant war on terror in Boston. Initial investigations pointed a finger at Todd, Makezine.com and even the beloved GRL. Makers should follow this story as it evolves because it stands to set a precedent for electronics hobbyists, hackers and culture jammers. Especially those who work in public spaces. It’s relevant to our class as it highlights a socially constructed aspect of technology that engineers often disregard: the publics perception of in-situ technology. And public techno-literacy (i.e. can you tell a bomb from a blinkie?). This is a very cool and relevant article on Steve Lambert’s Anti-Advertising Agnecy blog about the interpretation of technology by the mases in public places. Note that the press decided to cover this story with more vigor than the troop surge in Iraq, the presidential race, Joe Biden’s racist comments and the Libby Trial. Yuck right?

More coverage on Boingboing.

Week 2

Congratulations on your first week assignments. Good Work. I’ll update the class projects section soon and include pictures of your objects, tools and tasty food. In the meantime enjoy Bryan with his duct tape rose twixt his teef. Your week 2 assignment came in a few parts…

Part A: send an email to Michelle Kempner and tell her whether or not you will need knitting supplies or not. Tell her if you need yarn, needles or both. You might want to attend this event to learn more about the state of the knitted arts. You knit next week.

Part B: read Chapter 2 from The Cartoon Guide to Physics. Just relax. Read. absorb. Don’t stress if you don’t understand everything yet. You can buy this book at Amazon and it’s online here (flickr book):

Part C: Also read up on the Arduino here.

We will spend the next few weeks after the knitting workshop with Mikey K working on building, programming and experimenting with this microcontroller platform. Familiarize yourself with the basics on this site. Use the listserv and ask question about the arduino and if you have experience try to help people. Discussion on the listserv is part of your participation grade so DO ask and answer questions. We will be following these online instructions to populate and solder our USB Arduinos.

The part’s list is up here. Its just a partial list so far. Becky has volunteered to lead the ordering of parts. Give her a hand. Download the spreadsheet here and help fill-in the more common parts. She is making kits for everyone from the equipment available in the CDT dept. We will give you an update today or tomorrow with more details.

Home X: Making the World a Better Place

Well, at least google.

On Monday night of last week, while putting together the intro slide-show for class, I discovered that if you put the term “African ingenuity” into google, it would ask, “Did you mean: American ingenuity”. I initially entered the phrase as part of a search for the URL to a dope website, called Afrigadget. I couldn’t remember the URL but I could remember their tagline: “Solving problems with African ingenuity”. Here is a screen-shot from my search on January 22nd:

Complete with “American Ingenuity” sponsored links:

After I showed the slide in class Tuesday night, I emailed the screen-shot to 10 or so of my colleagues on the OpenLab discussion list. 3 hours later it was posted on boingboing.

Google has since removed the evidence that they ever put their punch card in their mouth on this one. Though, on the first page of the search, they do link to blogs that covered the “African Ingenuity” story.
