here are some things that have been on my hdd for a while. the hacking manual: this is the early version of a book my nic collins, he teaches in the sound program at the art institute of chicago. lots of hacking tools techniques and projects here. def will help with electronics learning. op amp applications: another book on op amps and how to use them. enjoy.

I think the cultural component of this is esp interesting. Weather vanes would be similar in this regard.

This is an interesting piece that crosses from musical instrument to art piece. The rules given to the piece give it a distinct sound, abilities and difficulty, but make it truly unique.

I saw Sheila Kennedy and Frano Violich give a presentation at the Kalil awards last week. Amazing work in interactive architecture. Be sure to check out their "Portable Light Project" (under Projects/Intelligent Infrastructure). Renewable power and light source that can be sewn into traditional garments.

Ontological anarchy - what's not to like? The music themes in this group make me think this belongs here.

Not related to this project, but interesting

here is a great interview with Einsturzende Neubauten on their approach and methods.

Great interview and performance. Blixa has always been a big influence of mine. Check out this interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlxfbFDzZUg&NR=1

One of the more interesting hypertext poems I've come across. Every sentence is a link instead of a couple words here or there. Still trying to map everything out. Definitely loops in places.

Victor Gama creates his own instruments and performs live with a strong visual element (instrument and projections included). Definitely check out the "Instrmts 4 Da Museum" under the Projects section. He's performing at Brown and at Carnegie Hall with the Kronos Quartet in early March for those interested.

Danish sound/installation artist. I heard of him because of his "4 Rooms" project which was a recording/playback experiment in 4 deserted rooms in Chernobyl, Ukraine. http://www.fonik.dk/works/4rooms.html Emergence indeed.

really interesting stuff, its even a nice website, and....i even get stuck just looking at the first page.

i worked with a friend over break and we recorded these two albums, even had a show in the dorm......with a monster croud of two people!!!!. but just wanted to share this stuff. streaming from tchem.bandcamp.com

dark side of the moon programmed on an NES

this is a cool project a group found famiclones( basically nintendo on a chip), and decided to use them for education they could be found for about 10 bux. probably more here, i know makezine sells them in the shop. the funny thing is these machines have a dos/windows type os on them already, pretty amazing for a 6502 ( i've also seen twitter running on a apple 2 or internet on a c64). check this out if you are interested in games or educational games, i see they are also looking for interns.

this is something i came upon while working on my project, this orchestra uses pure data, msi wind netbooks, linux, and wiimotes. Their website has more info. you can download the custom linux distro, and pure data objects there. there is a link to their site in the article but here it is again: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/
