We’ve been blogging up a storm over at NYC Resistor. I’ve been finding sources for conductive thread, jumping up and down over Octopart, showing a video about using piezos as sensors, and I found a gps belt that’s inspiring.
But I’m not the only one! Nick got his Lily Pads in (see above) and Eric went on about shift registers… go check it! - Link
I may pop up to boston for a day or two this next week for the wearable computing symposium… I won’t have tickets so I’ll just be hanging out in the hallway, but it just seems to cool to not go there. - Link
I’m super psyched to get my Lily Pads in the mail and start hacking on them!

So if you haven’t been around me in the past month, then you haven’t heard me gush about the awesomeness that is NYC Resistor. We’re a group of friends who are committed to learning, sharing, and making things. As of today, the hardware hacking club’s website is looking freaking hot!!!!!!!!!
George got things rolling and Nick and Eric are picking up speed and making the site look freaking awesome at nycresistor.com.
Me and my podcast are in a German Design magazine! Thanks to Birgit who sent me this pic!
I’m currently working on a presentation about utopias and how as a contemporary culture we don’t have them. Do you think that humanity (and our ecosystem) has a shred of hope? What are your worst and best case scenarios for the future? Leave notes and stories and your best and worst case scenarios in the comments please!
Today Sanford Dickert had me in to his class to give a presentation on NYC Resistor. The themes of communication, community, and collaboration seemed to resonate with his class.
Here’s the presentation I gave. PDF Link
