That's right, if you can supply me with a chicken bone to obstruct my breathing let me know, i'll even pay extra for the shipping. Joking of course, that's right mid terms have concluded bloody finally however now it is time for final projects. That final push. That final half of a semester, oh whoops I mean 3-4 weeks? Seriously I don't get that, midterms ended so late it should be called Three Quarter Terms or something. I'm a lil bit edgy about final projects, I have a lot of work ahead of me and I know I'm going to be exhausted by the end. I hope it all ends up working out. So, what am I actually going to be doing for the next few weeks that will probably hamper me from updating this very often? Should we tell them Johnny? All right kids, these are for you and you, and hey wait not you, you go home, who let you back in here, security. First up, Intro to Computational Media, I will continue working with I.E.D. statistics and visualizing them. The visuals from this actually will tie into my Physical Computing final project which will be an IED field. (NOTE I'M NOT GOING TO BLOW ANY OF MY FELLOW CLASSMATES UP OR ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC. THERE IS NO REAL EXPLOSIVES BEING USED. I STILL WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOARD PLANES TO FLY HOME. THANK YOU.) It will consist of de-centralized proximity sensors within the classroom that will communicate hopefully (fingers crossed) wirelessly to my computer to drive the visuals of explosions happening from a top down map view. It will have audio com chatter and the explosions on screen will be based off of the positions of the triggered proximity sensors (I.E.D.s) within the classroom. They will be hidden and embedded as to stay in accord with the idea of an actual I.E.D.. Thirdly, Pixel by Pixel, I think I will be re-visiting my RGB to CMYK live image processing idea. The idea really stimulates me on an intellectual level about the whole idea of color space and the implications in commerce, business, and society. So, I have a lot of work? Yes.
Actually today I was thinking about why they call I.E.D.s, I.E.D.s. I thought about the fact it feels almost like a new term to describe something that has been around for a rather long time. It's odd how it has been rebranded and brought to the forefront and in turn the fixation that the media seems to have on it. Yes, my thought of the afternoon.
The weather has been better oddly lately, not as cold. I wanna go see the new James Bond, even though Daniel Craig looks like your typical "Baddie" instead of a good guy. The action should be really good since the stunt coordinator for Ong Bak I heard was doing them. Also the guy who started parkour aka free running is apparently a bad guy in the movie and they do a parkour-esque chase scene. Man I've seen videos of that stuff crazy, looks like a lot of fun, I'd love to learn how to do it. Hopefully I'll get to go see the new movie soon, I'm such a Bond junkie.
Ran into a friend from CalArts today randomly on the way home from class today. My friend Chi Chi, so bizzare, apparently she's out here in New York working. Small world hey. Oh speaking of class today, I had class today, yes on friday when I don't have class. Why? Makeup class because we had holidays and fell behind due to them. My teacher had an awesome t-shirt on, I had to give him props. It was like an aircraft carrier but made out of office supplies. The best part was the fact that it had paper airplanes for jets.
Anyways, I'm going to be get back to work. Four more weeks and I'll be done with a quarter of my graduate degree kinda skary. I'll also be back home in California. Hopefully if I get back in time, I'll be able to go to D1 GRAND PRIX! DRIFTING! Ohhhh Yeah! Laters.
