Kicad for OS X

Saturday, January 5, 2008

Basic instructions for building Kicad and wxMac for OS X. (I originally posted this to the Fritzing Google Code wiki but wanted to keep it handy)
Introduction:
Kicad is a great, open source (GPL) electronic design suite that we have started investigating for use in Fritzing. Unfortunately, there are no pre-built binaries for OS X available, and few instructions for building it from source. The method I used is given below.

Time Fountain Go!

Sunday, February 11, 2007

First test of my time fountain (as originally created by Nate True) is a success - even without sensing drip the flash interval can be tuned close enough for a pretty impressive effect.  Pictures tomorrow after I finish building the enclosure.

Arduino Events

Monday, February 5, 2007

Got to attend another Arduino Hackshop last night (big thanks to Jeff Gray and Learning Worlds) - lots of interesting projects and I did a little work on the Arduino comparator and a few other things. David Cuartielles was in town and brought one of the new Bluetooth Arduinos:

David gave a talk at ITP today about some of his earlier work and free culture in general.  Good times - now back to thesis.

Fabricating Information Week 1 - CNC technologies/CNC techniques

Sunday, January 21, 2007

This week’s reading looks at the applications for CNC, mostly in architecture, construction, and furniture design. The work so far seems kind of disappointing - more curvy, amorphous, minimal shapes. What I want to see is the creation of more intricate and decorative work, putting the machines to use executing things with some real craftsmanship. The L.A. Times article Shape of Things to Come talks about the potential for “delicate filigrees and Rococo curlicues”, but there aren’t a lot of designers taking advantage of the capabilities.

Other reading this week: Fabbed Housing in Wired, Desktop Fabricator may Kick-Start Home Revolution in New Scientist, and excerpts from A Turning Point in Building, Versioning, The Life of Forms in Art, and Fab: The Coming Revolution on your Desktop.

Tigers of Wrath

Saturday, January 13, 2007

Went to the Brooklyn Museum today - Walton Ford does these awesome watercolors of animals including several of Sir Richard Burton’s monkeys. There were some other exhibits, but Annie Leibovitz has nothing on monkeys with hookahs.

Defense of Privacy

Thursday, January 4, 2007

A paper I wrote on individual measures to protect privacy for my Embedding Privacy class in the Fall; sometimes bone-headed, often repetitive, pretty representative. Preach on:

Just One View of Privacy

This paper concerns itself only with one conception of privacy: that privacy is essentially the line drawn between the interests of two parties and the information they share. In this sense, the nature and scope of privacy shifts with every exchange between the two parties, and fundamentally reflects the balance of power between them. For the purpose of this paper, the area of interest is additionally restricted to the question of how an individual can maintain a modest level of privacy in dealings with organizations, entities, and individuals who enjoy a relative power advantage.

Though somewhat narrow in scope, this situation is a common one and the questions raised are of particular interest to the author. An attempt is made to present a practical view without becoming mired in anything as mundane as techniques and protocols as these are already well-represented in the literature (see Schneier, Luna, et al.)
