At lunch, Ted Selker, head if the Context-Aware Computing group, grabbed us to see his very animated demo of an upcoming interactive web site for PBS they built on the subject of Alzheimer's disease. The site is sponsored by MetLife and will launch in early November.

The Beauty of Building Blocks
Tue 10.21.03 7:25am PDT #6854
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayMitch Resnick, one of the organizers of the building blocks conference which is here in progress at the MIT Media Lab, describes the five dimensions that make a good building block (we're talking LEGO blocks and more):
  • Embody granularity - Small size and scale.
  • Connect with each other - Good building blocks are defined by the quality of the connections they can make between each other. Lego blocks, for example, rely on system of studs and tubes.
  • Can be recombined - Can be combined or nested to create larger and larger building blocks as a way to contain and manage complexity.
  • Change the way you think about a domain - If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you work in blocks, the world looks like a grid. These are not necessarily good situations.
  • Support play - Good building blocks must support exploration, play and tinkering.


Throughout the day, various presenters will talk about building blocks for atoms, digital bits, genes, molecules and even ideas (memes). These researchers are looking for innovative ways to incorporate building block structures into products, processes and organizations.

I'm walking the streets of Ames and Main on this free day before two days of symposia at the MIT Media Lab. It's a standard spec fall day--windy, chilly with leaves starting to turn colors. I'll rest my brain today before a 55-gallon drum full of new ideas is dumped into it tomorrow.

this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayI just noticed this early concept rendering of the Danger Hiptop in the archives of industrial designer Thomas Meyerhoffer's website. He's profiled in the START section of the current (Nov.) issue of Wired and the in-house Danger design team in a special ad section.

Maybe a future version of the product will be as thin as Meyerhoffer's original design.

We just had our senses supremely stimulated at a showing of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. The movie gushes kung fu action, anime gore, and spaghetti western soundtrack hacked apart with Japanese steel and served up tapas style. Tapas are tasty bits to hold you over until the main meal, which for those that enjoyed Kill Bill will be Vol. 2 on February 20, 2004.

We're finishing lunch at Einstein Brothers after this morning's Parent Education Class. The photos here are of the before and during states of the pregnant torso, a breathing pattern graph from the handout, and hey, this bagel looks like 3cm dialation!
