Collecting the data, connecting the dots. Art and Kinetic Light Painting. The sum is greater than its parts. No man is an island. No consultant knows everything. Nor can they handle certain projects alone. Clipboard Engineering has worked with a few other consulting firms, on both short term and long term projects. A visit to LowellMakes, in Lowell, MA. A visit to 10BitWorks, a San Antonio, Texas MakerSpace. The Amazing Worcester – Institute for Energy and Sustainability/Technocopia. Delay makes its debut.

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Thoughts on the 2010 Open Hardware Summit. September 28, 2010 categories: rascal. Last Thursday, I went to the Open Hardware Summit in Queens, NY. The Summit had a lot going for it- people from all of the major open hardware players were there ( Arduino. To name a few), and it took place at the New York Hall of Science. A cool science museum right next to Flushing Meadows with its enormous, awesome Unisphere. Said something like, "People sa...

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Renaming files in bash:. For a in *.rtf; do mv $a $(echo $a sed ’s/02142006.rtf$/060221.rtf/’) ; done. A handy command for turning a comma-separated list into a standard .csv file. I used this to convert old Eudora contacts files into a format that Apple’s Mail could import. Cat input.txt tr ‘,’ ‘ 012 sed s/ /, / output.csv. I believe I had to add a line at the top of each file after conversion to tell Mail what it was I was importing:.

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. For a few years, I worked at MindTribe, where I made a lot of circuit boards. After making a few mistakes more than once, I started a list of mistakes to avoid. Before you send out a PCB, check:. Power and ground connector on board. Labels not covered by connectors. Loop for scope ground clip. Date, name, rev. number. Protection circuitry on interfaces (overvoltage zeners, rev. polarity diodes). All designators legible (obscured by vias?

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Designing embedded systems with web frameworks. April 12, 2010 categories: rascalmicro. I have a prediction. First, some background on tiny computers. The large ones come with an operating system, like Windows CE, Linux, or VxWorks. Most of the devices are reworked versions of hardware from the pre-internet days that have had Ethernet ports added to them. They can handle real internet traffic, but they usually use proprietary softwa...In th...

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Dynamic image listing in PHP. August 20, 2010 categories: code. I've been working pretty hard on a top secret project. For the last couple of months, so the blog posts have been a little scarce. More details about the top secret project (TSP) shortly, but in the meantime, here's a little PHP script I wrote this morning. Having switched from Wordpress to Jekyll (a blog compiler.

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Quotes from a former career. In the late 90’s, I was a high school math teacher in San Francisco. A young mathematical enthusiast by the name of Enrique was kind enough to write the document below. Those were some fine times I was even younger and more foolish than I am now. I think my personal favorite is, This is America; if you don’t like it, go back to England! You appear to have your hand raised, or are you just pointing upward? Brando...

Pingswept.org: blogging since the end of time. Now with web 2.1. Why hasn't Brandon been blogging recently? May 11, 2011 categories: rascal. This blog has tended toward dormancy over the last year because I've been pouring all my energy into a new project, the Rascal. It's a small computer aimed at artists and scientists who want to add web interfaces to their projects. It similar to the Arduino. But much more powerful. If you're interested in the Rascal, you should follow the Rascal on Twitter here.
