Yesterday the postman made me happy. After waiting nearly more than 2 months a little package arrived. Sender: UrbanMedium. Content: The Heavy Ammunition Project. And after opening the package and unpack everything (a cd and 4 or 5 stickers) I just dropped the cd into my audio to listen to the tunes: Wow! Much better than I hoped. I’m still listen to the cd today! Favorite track so far: «Undisputibles» by L.A.ment feat. Evidence. Thank you and respect to UrbanMedium and DJ Spider!
You can still buy that cd (and the stickers!) over there at The Heavy Ammunition Project — It’s worth every cent and I’m a little sad that I missed the «Special Box».
One of the 4 or 5 stickers went on vacation today after he was cloned and multiplied. Made a tour through Berlin: The CheTrooper. Sticking here and there. Sticking everywhere. (Click on the pictures to get an enlarged version.)

If you’re on Mac and want to manage some (more) fonts: go get it.
It replaced Suitcase and FontAgent on my Computer. Month ago. It’s free and I don’t think that Extensis can win with SuitcaseFusion against a competitor with a lifelong knowledge of fonts and a product which is rock-solid. No crashes for 5 months.
Thumbstacks.com! is Powerpoint or Keynote for the web. build presentations online and share them via the net. but don’t forget: it’s still an alpha-version. don’t cry if something breaks. i’ll test it in-deep the next days … and maybe report back.
Bi-manual, multi-point, and multi-user interactions on a graphical interaction surface.
While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops.

Ladyada writes about her Pac-Man wheels – “The technology here is “persistence of vision”…when LEDs move fast enough they can “draw” an image when the wheel spins. That’s the basis behind both the MiniPOV and SpokePOV toys that I designed last year. I rode this design around last burningman, obviously ive adjusted the image so they’re “upside down” here for better photographing!
