I will be demonstrating the Emotiv EPOC at Jigsaw Renaissance @ Artillery, later this month. See the link for details. I will also be giving a Scratch presentation at Jigsaw Renaissance @ Artillery, at the beginning of February. These are both technologies with magical/ritual applications, so if you want to come check them out, I’ll be happy to talk shop with you.

As we see it, digital fluency requires not just the ability to chat, browse, and interact but also the ability to design, create, and invent with new media […] To do so, you need to learn some type of programming. The ability to program provides important benefits. For example, it greatly expands the range of what you can create (and how you can express yourself) with the computer. It also expands the range of what you can learn. In particular, programming supports “computational thinking,” helping you learn important problem-solving and design strategies (such as modularization and iterative design) that carry over to nonprogramming domains. And since programming involves the creation of external representations of your problem-solving processes, programming provides you with opportunities to reflect on your own thinking, even to think about thinking itself.

By Joshua Madara on July 19, 2009 | Categories: Blog | Tags: generator, Scratch, statement of intent, text manipulation | No CommentsThe SoI Generator does just that: generates statements of intent. “It is my will to heal society’s eternal inner child! It is my will to seek the omniscient soul! It is my will to merge with my necromantic pentacle! It is my will to illuminate my quantum chakra!”

Project Notes
Statement of Intent Generator Joshua Madara oneirodynesystems.com This project generates random statements of intent. It is intended for entertainment, but feel free to use any of the generated statements in actual rituals. Press the space bar at any time to generate a new statement. === Known Issues & Enhancement Ideas === * The script for building the statements could be optimized to remove redundancies. * Possessive nouns ending in 's' are not properly treated (e.g. "Mars's" instead of "Mars'"). * The variety of articles and sentence structures could be increased. * The lists of actions, adjectives, objects, and people may be edited or expanded. * One could add a script allowing the operator to manipulate the lists' contents without having to download the project. === Credits === * The ornaFrame costume includes a piece from a Dover clip art collection. * The fetus costume was drawn with a brush from the Fetus Brush Set by Cynthetic: http://cynthetic.deviantart.com/art/Fetus-Brush-Set-11192445.
