7 in Seven

Open-source Arduino Clock Project

There’s plenty of clock projects that use the open-source Arduino microcontroller platform, but to my knowledge, none of those projects are themselves officially open-source. So as a quick one-day project for 7 in 7, I started creating clock code that anyone can use and extend for their own projects, under the GPL Creative Commons license. So far it’s simply code for tracking weekday and time in a cyclical pattern, along with some buttons to set the clock. There’s plenty of room for creative additions, and that’s just the point. Use the Open-source Arduino Clock code as a base to create something amazing!

openframeworks, 30 minutes later.

I attempted to rewrite something I made (native windows app) back in 2003:

using openFrameWorks. I didn’t get all the way there, but I can say that I am really pleased with openFrameworks performance and its quite friendly demeanor (considering it is C++)

Clam-flavored Gum

I really don’t know why, but in college my good friend Dan became obsessed with clam gum. An odd obsession of course because clam gum didn”t exist. I guess he just thought it would be funny if it did.

As of today, Clam Gum is real. For my 7 in 7 project I hacked a chewing gum-making kit with clam juice and created a chompable concoction with a maritime tang. It’s weird and absolutely nobody here will put it in their mouth.

Day 2: Wound Shirt

Physical computing t-shirts!

I’ve always wanted to show my love for physical computing in t-shirt form so i decided to draw up a design and print it out onto iron transfer sheets. Here are the results from the first try. I am happy and so is my LED.
