\n\"Thursday<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

…well, it was a short week in the studio and more time spent pondering how to build out the new Laboratory \/ Man Lodge. Plans and actions. There was good conversations around the main project in the Studio \u2014\u00a0which basically translates to excelling at communicating what are already good ideas. In this particular sort of design activity, I am learning how important it is to translate keywords and metaphors over deep details and pleas. It’s all a team thing, bantering about the strongest sensibilities to enroll our allies and stakeholders increasingly. It’s a conversation ultimately, and less a “case to be made” sort of design exercise. Which keeps it light and fleet-footed.<\/p>\n

There were some conversations with some colleagues about *multimodal technology, which I find to be a curious name, but still an intriguing, unexpectedly enjoyable discussion.<\/p>\n

With the rather sullen decision that I won’t be able to fully participate in the 01SJ Festival<\/a> with its Out of the Garage and Built Your Own World themes \u2014\u00a0these being near and dear to the Laboratory’s sensibilities, I plan on contributing to the catalog, which is probably just as well as any additional deadlines to help me complete a design \/ science fiction essay due end of July..well, those will help me finish it by the end of July.<\/p>\n

Oh \u2014\u00a0ordered a pair of LinkM<\/a>‘s..a new ThingM<\/a> dongle to connect to I2C devices<\/a> via USB, which makes it just a tad more convenient to control my old PSX project<\/a> (a way to listen to a PS2-style controller as well as emulate one and thusly control a PS2 or PS3) with a computer rather than only an Arduino or other microcontroller. I have no idea why this might be interesting, but I’m curious to experiment with it.<\/p>\n

What else? Only partially related to the Laboratory \u2014 some days were spent in the skate park after coming down the coast during these longer near-summer days.
