Guess who’s guest bar tending at our favorite watering hole? Pacific Standard will be hosting our robotic bartender Tuesday night from 8pm until 10ish or whenever we tired of the bottitude, which ever comes second. Come see the bot in action! Drinks are just $4 and proceeds will go directly into our next generation bot.

There seems to be a lot of confusion around what The Interactive Show on May 7th actually is. I’m hoping the venerable Venn Diagram can help explain. It’s hackers, it’s a party and it’s interactive art! Drinks and music are included, so make sure to stop by. We’ll be featuring some of the projects you’ll be able to see all next week so stay tuned.

Inspired by Ranjit’s instrument-a-day (Make coverage), I’m writing a new wrist watch face every day for my progamable inPulse watch (more background). The full sources are posted online for others to build on.
Day 1 was a fixed point 3D rendering engine with a rotating Utah Teapot, day 2 was a rolling odometer or aviation altitude ticker display and day 3 is a 24-hour analog clock. This last one still needs some work.

Ever wonder what happens to your lovingly deposited dollars after that?

Class: Pd as your embeddable audio engine

“Pd as your embedded audio engine” will teach all about embedding libpd as the sound engine for your app, whether its iPhone, Android, Java, OpenFrameworks, Processing, etc. This workshop provides a broad spectrum of different ways of connecting Pd to other things. Having hardware isn’t a requirement either. The workshop will cover ways of interfacing with Pd from computer to computer. Bring your laptop and devices that you want to install libpd on (Android, iPhone, etc.)
HTML and/or programming knowledge will certainly help. The aim of this workshop is to give a broad spectrum of different ways to interface to Pd. So it will be dipping very slightly into Python, C, Java, Javascript, but this is usually “glue code” and all of the code will be fully provided. You do not need to be proficient in these languages at all, the workshop will also cover methods that also just use Pd with no code at all.
Here is an outline of topics:
* Introduction
* History of Pd as an engine
* Ways to interface with a Pd process
* Midi & OSC
* FUDI
* stdout
* Python + sockets
* pdsend/pdreceive
* Parsing patches in three languages
* libpd on Android and iOS
* PdWebKitDroid
* RjDj and ScenePlayer
* WebPd

MIT’s Scratch is a visual, block-based programming language that enables everyone, especially young people, to create sophisticated and interactive computer programs without having to know a syntax, text-based language. Scratch users can create games, visualizations, animations, and music. In this 3 hour class you will learn how to write Scratch Programs and also how to control them with an Arduino board using S4A (Scratch 4 Arduino). This class is ideal for teachers and for parents who wish to teach physical computing to students ages 8 and up. No prior programming experience or knowledge of Scratch is necessary. You must bring a laptop in order to take the class. Please bring an Arduino, a breadboard, and sensors if you have them. If you don’t, you may purchase an Arduino and breadboard/sensor kit from us.
