DISCUSSION

Net 2.0 and new stuff


Understanding the box does not just mean understanding the circuits or the programming, but also understanding the context in which that box is situated. The best two things I saw at the Maker Fair was Corey Fogel's "Purl Drums" (an intersection between drumming and knitting http://tangram7s.info/cmf/ ) and Phil Ross's "Chronic Revelator" (cameras "aged" in a cement mixer http://billhoss.phpwebhosting.com/ross/index.php?kind040#). Both of these projects worked particularly well in the context of the maker fair. They understood that the conversation about technology goes beyond being a good programmer or solderer.
