Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it
was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate
it.

Comment on Missed a day, but what the hey by Auth

I second Blinn Comb’s ceotmnms. I did an 8-week course at the Goethe Institut in Freiburg and it was truly first-rate. I could not have asked for a better instructor and the city was wonderful. I think Robert Johnson’s comment about Germans speaking English applies mainly to large urban areas like Berlin. It was my experience that very few Germans in the south had even conversational English (and even fewer the deeper one goes into Bavaria). This of course provides a distinct motivation to learn their language. In fact, I intentionally avoided Americans during my course because interaction with them was obviously quite counterproductive. It should also be mentioned that one will inevitably encounter students in these courses who are not really serious about learning the language and are enrolled for other reasons (establishing residency in Germany for other academic reasons, or because they see it as an economical alternative to backpacking). This is of course more common in the introductory courses, and in the larger urban areas like Berlin and Munich. But the educational experience itself was excellent.

At the moment, there are a wide array of knctheis floor tiles and patterns that are out there in stores. Homeowners could choose from linoleum, vinyl, laminate, hardwood as well as other stone tile variants. Those nonetheless unsure of which to buy will need to ascertain the form of flooring which would be compatible with the atmosphere you live in. According to residence style professionals, 1 main aspect to consider in picking the preferred kitchen floor tile is usually to get one that’s in a position to resist spills, specially in the event you have children at property. Additionally, you should look at getting the floor tiles which are comfy to your feet, and match the appropriate colors of one’s home. The variety of floor tile color should also be an fascinating subject. Buyers need to have to pick the floor tile colors which help to complement the kitchen and your house also. Some would prefer selecting light and neutral tones, which some say would be finest in creating an impression of light and space inside the space. Other style specialists would also contend that it would be better to use stronger colors in smaller knctheis only, and not in knctheis with bigger spaces.

Comment on Interview with Sarah Kahn – Online freeform play by David Carlton

Is the Sarah Kahn here the Sarah Kahn who wrote an online serial named ‘Pulp’ at Oberlin College starting in 1986? If so, would it be possible for you to put me in contact with her? I have an old copy of that saved, and was wondering if she might be interested in having a copy herself.

John Morgan told me about this. Sounds great, reminds me of my senior thesis at Auburn. http://thesa.me

If you’re still in NYC, would love to talk to you more about this.

Comment on Physical Computing Lab 1 by Thomas Robertson

Judane,

It’s not a toggle switch, just a simple single-throw, single-pole switch (boring old normal switch). Actually, looking back, I can see that the diagram I provided is actually somewhat confusing because of how I placed the switch box. I’m going to try to re-draw that part of the circuit with text, so bear with me.

When the switch is open, you have a circuit that connects the 5V to nothing, so it goes nowhere, and you have a second circuit that connects the digital input to ground. When the digital input is grounded, it doesn’t detect any input and counts as “off” (well, this depends on your code, actually, but in most cases this is how you do it). When you close the switch, you create a three-point circuit. You have a 5V power connected to two things: first a big resistor and then ground, and second the digital input (which is also a ground). So the 5V has to decide where it’s going to go. The big resistor basically acts as a dam, blocking the power and pushing it into another path if available. Since there is a digital input available, the power goes there instead of straight to ground.

Hope that makes sense.

Thomas

This is really good, could you explain a little more in detail from a breadboard stand point. i’m trying to figure out how the two seperate curcuits work. and are you using a toggle switch?

Comment on Why does “live” matter so much? by Shawn

Shawn — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:10:56 +0000

Do you think the compelling tools will be built? Where do we go from here? Is Live better suited to the illusion of immediacy that can be created by just allowing the audience some interaction with each-other?
