I proposed a project to kickstarter and they liked the idea and let me launch the project. The project is called Noisy Toys, my goal for this project is to try to get funding so that i can build noise makers and effects. Once they are build i will make recordings using them and release them online. of course the a server is down right now, just when i really need it . So since i can’t post it on my blog i thought i’d post it here so people would know, just trying to spread the word.
here is the link to the project:
heres something i’m working on , its a program done in openframeworks and it makes generative videos, video that is generated only by the computer without any outside influence. It is controlled through they keyboard. I still have a bit of code to add but i did do a video. Its up at my site and the same video is on vimeo.

Here is my post for the final FINAL
Intro :
In this tutorial, I will show you how to recycle expired milk to make “plastic” at home. Of course it doesn’t have to be expired milk, but try to drink the milk while it’s still good for yourself and be healthy first! This home-made plastic is hardly a replacement for real plastic, but it’s a fun experiment to do with your friends or kids. The chemical reaction is based on the fact that casein is generated from milk and vinegar with some heat. It is quick and easy, and it will be fun for everyone!
Feel better about leftover milk that is no longer drinkable, socialize with people around you, learn a useful scientific fact, and be proud of your creative exploration!

Using a Plexi Template on the Potters Wheel – More DIY How To Projects
Here’s my instructable on how to make a form using plexi. I go through the basic steps of creating a cylinder on the wheel and then how the plexi figures in. I explain all the materials and fabrication shops you will need access to to create this with detailed shots along the way. It really is meant for people comfortable with throwing or people who may not realize the overlap between techniques used on the plaster wheel and those used on the potters wheel. But yay…here’s a much more descriptive version of the video I made for class: Quicktime Vid
