- On Thingpunk
- We’re not fleeing from digital design. We’re fleeing from
postmodernism, which we all knew wasn’t going to last anyway.
Better integration of technology is the next big design movement.
- The Vo96
- Extremely cool acoustic synthesizer for guitars. Works by inducing
the guitar’s strings to produce the desired waveforms.
- Stop Drawing Dead Fish
- Lecture by Bret Victor on interactive art as what a computer makes
possible. High potential. With sufficient simulation and control,
can computers enable a high-tech performance exceeding a marionette
performance? Is this what Pixar aims for, only residualizing their
final performance to film? What if the capability existed for any
group of high school students to do their own performance of Toy
Story?
- David Foster Wallace Commencement Speech
- Commencement speech given at Kenyon in 2005. The power of knowing
how to think is choosing what to think about and the perspective
from which to think about it. The genesis of most great ideas is
rooted in the ability to do this fluently.
- Innovation Starvation
- Old but worth a relink. We’re not executing on the big stuff.
