ok not really. unless you consider splashing around in the swamp of general exams readings, waiting for the lines to stack to the horizon out the back while a small almost indecipherable bump of water rises up and turns into my perfect dissertation barrel to ride to shore and win the pipe masters.
where the sea meets the land, of course.
(that's for you, james).

the picture is just filler to distract you from the fact that my real home page reconstruction is roughly on the time schedule of the big dig. which, let me remind the citizens of boston, is supposedly done. and yet is rather slow in revealing itself to us. ahem.

oh, and here's a picture of kate bosworth's head superimposed on keala kennelly's body.



again, another distraction. but a good one.
dare i let you in on the number of times i've watched 'blue crush'?

'greenflavin lite'- tidbits in no particular order:

topobo
3D constructive assembly with kinetic memory.
motion. sculpting. kinetic. passives. actives. kids. physics.
the movie is here
that's probably what you're looking for.
my master's thesis is here
probably NOT what you're looking for.
the discovery channel piece on it is here
what you were looking for but didn't know it yet.
the new manufactured parts are not yet here from china.
stop asking. i will tell you when they are.

muk.luk.flux
kinetic boots - identity. image. speed. motors. futurists.
on the runway at seamless : computational couture.
can i add that being your own model sucks. especially outside in boston. in february. in a little dress. even with world-renowned photography evan scheele (dude, get a website so i can link to you) i vow to stop making fun of the ANTM contestants squealing when they have to pose on ice blocks or have cockroaches on leashes on the runway.
no i don't.

brief interlude to show you my favourite mobius shoes
everybody has to see them.
how do i love thee? let me count the ways...

senspectra
stress. strain. structures. color. light. modeling.
in recent advances, vincent found a weaving design tool for making whips on an S&M website for the perfect formation of our cables. oddly, hayes found us the same device at stellabella toys in inman square for making 'friendship bracelets'
uhh, the color was different, so it must have a different effect...

curiously strong
altoid boxes. solenoids. dominos.
no, we didn't eat all the altoids out of the boxes.

i will be in Montreal at CHI2006 presenting 3 papers in late April:
Beyond Record and Play: Tangible Modulators for Kinetic Behavior
Glume: Exploring Materiality in a Soft Augmented Modeling System
Computational Corporeality: Computers, Materials, and the Body
and visiting XSLabs to give a talk and get inspired.

and i have to include my latest obsession, threeasfour collective
receiving any item from their spring 2006 collection will, i am sure, turn me into a superhero. just not sure what powers i'll have. i believe barney's delivers to boston. just so ya know.

ta ta for now. der Mander
