Makin your way in the world today takes everything you got

I watched Avatar this morning. It was a CG marvel, unequaled in its presentation, etc. Despite the realism, I was still at arm's length from the underlying story. I was much more moved by The Princess and The Frog than this (if you had to pick one or the other, I'd choose the latter, frankly ( Read more... )

That applet sure makes one wiggly tapeworm. Go, code monkey!

You are making some nice progress. It's a good Processing Sketch!

Learning audio stuff is nice. Maribeth's class is pretty awesome, a broad overview of audio stuff. You may want to take some ECE classes if you are up for punishment.

I may have to sit in on anything non-major related... I run out of aid in the Fall (and won't graduate until the Spring afterwards :p). Hopefully I can overload Maribeth's class. If not, I'll sit in it anyway! Most professors don't seem to care if I do this.

Thanks for the kudos, though it was just a little sketch. And I suppose this is the fun of it, being able to go from zero to something in less than an hour of mucking about.

That's such a cool sketch! I love the weird twitchy uncomfortable wobbling.

(and now I want to take an audio class too! I think there's a couple I could do, but they wouldn't help fulfill any requirements...)

There are so many classes I want to take that I shall have to decline due to them not fulfilling requirements. :-(

(Perhaps this means I should go to grad school? Maybe? Let's see how I feel next Fall...)

When I left undergrad, I felt that just as I was getting to the really good stuff, they made me graduate. A lot of people told me that if I felt that way, I should go to grad school. I'm glad I finally did! (I want you to come to IU out of self-interest, but whether it would be a good choice really depends on what you want to study.)

Making Stuff! It's nice, isn't it?

That's a pretty awesome Processing applet. I notice that there's a static number of nodes on the screen at a time (I'm guessing that's maxSize), and they never fade -- I was kind of expecting them to fade away after a while, like bubbles. It would also be pretty cool if the length of time they stayed there was related (maybe inversely) to the size.

I didn't even think to have them fade out via the alpha channel, or via time based... and these are things I may have to revisit this weekend. :-)
