早陣子和微型樂園到了高雄參予了奇美辦的數位互動音樂會。當中作了兩個聲音互動的作品：一個是為奇美五重奏樂團表演的的音樂互動，另一個則是一聲音互動裝置。
這個年尾有夠忙，幸好有Jason和Jeff這兩個被我稱為香港的Flight404。他們瘋狂的programming令人拍案。
當然這次奇美的作品也多得他們的大力幫忙。

還沒有把拍到的整理，就先借用Engadget的報導和微型樂園的Blog和Flickr作為參考。

p.s 謝謝微型及奇美的邀請！

附上我的Mac Book Pro爆電事件實照三張. 難得Apple Care的同事還很冷靜的”告訴”我: “哦~這個很常見, 有其他人的還爆得更厲害. ”
天啊~ 這是說明我用高昂的價錢換來的原來是: 電, 是應該會這樣爆的.
雖然你不用我付錢更換這個爆了的電池, 但我的Harddisk因此報銷, 你沒有賠啊! 我花了幾千元才能修復我的資料啊!

今早收到這個email:

Dear Boot Camp enthusiast:
We hope you’ve enjoyed the opportunity to preview an exciting new feature of Mac OS XLeopard.
With the introduction of Leopard, the Boot Camp Beta program has ended. The Boot Camp Beta software will expire on December 31, and Apple won’t offer further updates of Boot Camp Beta for Mac OS X Tiger.
If you’d like to continue using Boot Camp, Apple invites you to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard. Learn more.
Thank you for your participation in the Boot Camp Beta program.

即是如果你想在Mac上跑Window, 就要強迫upgrade?!
是勸用window的mac用家轉用mac os, 還是怎樣?
我們這麼愛你, 你一次又一次的傷害我們. 你說, 你為什麼變成這樣?!

是時候想想要不要和你分手. 你太過分了.

Circuit Bending Fever!

這個自動投影微調一直是dream task。終於有人研究成功了！雖然low tech，但夠實用。最重要的是它不用改裝Projector。
MERL (Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs) 和　Standford合作。上次的MERL的Diamond Touch 給 Jeff Han 搶了風頭，今次記得趕快推出！

嚴格來說, 應該說成Preceptive Pixel的Multitouch Wall.
早於Jeff Han宣佈創立Preceptive Pixel便知道有一天他的驚人low-cost Multitouch research會變成商品. 同時變成商品後大概不會low-cost.

盛惠US$100,000 起 (港幣$780,000, 新台幣$3,120,000, 人民幣$760000). 這是將自己變成Minority Report的Tom的代價.
*”起”的意思會否意味Preceptive Pixel會為客戶製作應用程式嗎?

忽發其想, Preceptive Pixel有沒有開放api, 或者源始碼讓第三者開發應用程式?
