The Ithaca Journal published an article about my SHIP site and the new maps I’ve been working on. Thanks, Krisy!

Here’s a direct link to the newest map, which is mainly cool because you can click on it to see details. I’ll be integrating that into the other maps soon.

“Manos found guilty
Jury convicts Ithaca woman of murder, abuse of niece, 2”

Life recovers.
But not completely.
Wounds heal into scars, sometimes beautiful scars.
But not always.

Philip Torrone posted a link to my Mancala game on Make Magazine’s blog. Thanks, Phil!

For this year’s Winter Solstice project, I made a “SleepLight” for Clara. She’s not very good at reading time on conventional clocks, but it seemed useful for her to be able to tell when it’s bedtime and getting-up time, and how long there is till the next significant time. Hence this diurnal clock slash night light.

AKA “Good Kitty,” “Little Cat B”; 2000-2007

As of last weekend, it appears I’ve started working on animation again! Woohoo!

[Clara has gone to school in a nice new outfit. Mom picks her up.]

Mom: How’d that new outfit work out?

Clara: I like it.

Mom: How do those new pants feel?

Clara: Mom: they’re not pants.

Mom: Uh… what are they?

Clara: They’re leggings.

Since I made my first mod to the PICkit 2 applet source, Microchip completely rewrote the applet. They use .NET, which I consider to be pretty much a virus, but I was considering getting all the MS development tools installed and getting up to speed with C# to work with it.

But then I realized that it would be simple to just automate the existing applet with an external program, and that would mean I wouldn’t have any changes to integrate into the Microchip source (as well as not having the dreaded MS tools installed).

I’ve been working for a while on a simple handheld game machine. It made its official debut at The Farm this summer, so I thought I’d post it here and on the gallery.

My buddy Bob Stuart makes Noise in Montreal. I thought he should have a theremin. Took a weekend. Works.
