Well, I only made it through about 10% of the Media Lab demos in a couple hours. There's just an amazing array of cutting edge investigations. Good thing my new employer is a sponsor of the lab and can get access any time. I also had a nice demo from Roz Picard on software agents for affective computing.

For you DJs, here are some photos of Audiopad, an amazing tangible interface for composing music. The first three photos are of the system in action in the auditorium, and the other pics are of the first commercial prototype of the user interface and display system in the form of an IP Network Design Tool by NTT Comwave. NTT wants $80,000 for their tool--being on the bleeding edge is not cheap.

The conference co-organizer, Professor John Maeda, noticed my Color Sidekick and whipped his out. He got his from Danger's CEO, who is a friend.
