Photos

Hello everybody,
In case anyone is interested - and still checking the blog- the photos that I took on the last day can be found in the class shares (cart_451) in the folder J-A_Photos_451, although it is mostly photos of our project and a couple of the sensing project.

If you are interested in looking at our team blog, there is a couple of good pictures there too.

Enjoy your vacations!
JOo.

PS: there is plenty of space in the class shares if others want to share their photos and videos.

I should be back at Concordia tomorrow by 2-2:30. I haven';t heard from anyone so I assume everything is OK and that
you haven't blown up everything. I am going off email and wont be online until I arrive at school tomorrow,

WE SHOULD BE READY TO GO AT 3:30 SO EACH GROUP SHOULD DECIDE THE ORDER OF INSTALLATIONS TOMORROW.
IF ITS NOT DARK ENOUGH, THEN WE MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT TILL 4 OR 4:15...WE'LL JUST HAVE TO GAUGE THINGS.

IF I'M NOT THERE BY 3:00 PM, THEN MY FLIGHT HAS BEEN DELAYED IN WHICH CASE WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

Year-End Show

Hey, all!

I just wanted to create a shout about the year-end show that your student association(s) organize for you. With all the final projects we're doing here, I'd love to be able to see them again around the first week of May to have them available as an experience that your friends, family and visitors can have.

It'd be awesome to have mid-large scale installations to show off! So please try to make your projects in a way that they can be easily (1-2 hour max) installed and uninstalled -- with a minimum of difficult-to-get requirements (ie: multiple projectors or multiple computers).


Thanks for listening!

thanks victor

Thanks to Victor for taking the time to put up the imgs and movs of the last presentations!

Final Projects?!

Hurray for final projects... I guess.

I'm just curious about what everybody is doing for the final project. What do people dream about? What do people wish to make? What do people wish to learn?

Maybe we could help each other out and all have great projects! ^^



ps. please post your responses to this as new posts rather than just comments.

Hey, if nobody cares...

... I'm considering trashing my documention of all those projects if nobody has any comments on them.

It's kind of heartbreaking to not even get a "Cool. Thanks for taking photos of my project!" -- like, come'on? Not even a word from our teacher... 'tis quite sad...
