RGB.VGA.VOLT is an audio/video synthesizer that enables realtime exploration of the rich materiality concealed beneath the consumer interfaces of cathode ray tube computer monitors. By hacking and improperly rewiring the cables of these obsolete devices to short their video signals, their black-boxed analog infrastructure is liberated and driven by digitally synthesized high-frequency complex waveforms, audio playback, and feedback loops that fully exploit their latent visual spectrum. Inspired by early video tools such as the Sandin Image Processor and the Paik-Abe Synthesizer as well as contemporary programming and error-based approaches to sound and moving image, RGB.VGA.VOLT revives an analog aesthetic that has acquired a renewed power and potency in the present era of digital immateriality.
The instrument, demonstrated on four VGA computer monitors in this video, combines custom built software, hardware modification, and DIY instrumentation. This PDF includes full documentation of the RGB.VGA.VOLT software as well as the instrumentation used in interfacing the software with VGA computer monitors for realtime synthesis.

this thing is of course the bit that plugs into your veins - IV drip on the left (temporarily removed and plugged at time of this photo); syringe valve for drug injections on top, and my circulation to the right. it's very medico-mechanico-cyberpunk to have such a convenient plastic plug-and-play interface on your person.

I was attempting to bake banana bread the other day, but not being the baking type I didn't have any scales. That's when I noticed that on the inside of my pack of butter they had printed gradations in 25g intervals so you could measure the butter out yourself.
Now from a usability perspective this is a fantastic addition. I doubt it'll increase sales of Lurpak butter by a statistically notable amount which makes its existence even more impressive!
Did the board spend months deciding whether to add this in or not? did somebody in marketing sweat blood convincing their bosses this was a good idea? Maybe the designers just slipped it in themselves, hoping nobody would notice. However this came about I salute you, you buttery disciples of food usability.

A thousand small towns exist inside California, but they are not considered suburbs. Many of these are located within the wild land urban interface, near cities, but up in the hills 20+ miles or so. Rural, secluded, private and many forested. Often they back right up to the National Forest land, and wildfire threat is always a concern.

Meant to be converted from Illustrator into a Flash website.
Note the toybox would link to their toy packaging samples, the coloring pages would link to sell sheets, etc.

As some of you know I have been keenly interested in a movement, started by Jay Cross, called the unbook. I have gotten some questions about how the unbook differs from a traditional book, so I thought I would answer them here.
The driving forces behind the movement are the acceleration of business change and the inability of traditional publishing to keep up. With new technologies such as print-on-demand and online marketplaces, authors can now publish books, in both electronic and print formats, at the push of a button. The unbook, due to these factors, operates in a fundamentally different way than the traditional book.
A traditional book is released in editions. When a work is revised or updated, a new edition is released. These revised or updated editions usually offer small, incremental changes, such as a new preface or introduction, a new chapter, or small changes to the content.
An unbook is more like software:
1. An unbook is never finished, but rather continually updated, based on feedback from users andtheir evolving needs.
2. An unbook is released in versions. As in open source software, version 1.0 of an unbook is a significant milestone, indicating that it is stable and reliable enough for use by the general public. The significance of a new release is indicated by the size of the gap: For example, the difference between 1.1 and 1.1.3 is minor, while the difference between 1.1 and 2.0 is major.
3. An unbook is supported by a community of users who share their experiences and best practices with each other, and help each other troubleshoot problems encountered in their practice areas. An unbook’s community is a very real part of the unbook’s development team.
I have published an unbook, Marks and Meaning, to catalogue my continuing efforts in the field of visual thinking and information design, and to develop a user community focused on that discipline.
An unbook is mindware: software for the mind: And in the case of Marks and Meaning, my hope and intent is to develop not just software, but an operating system which improves on our current thinking models and makes our minds more useful and usable.
In the same way that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) improved the usability of computing devices, I hope, with your help, to develop a graphical operating system for the mind.
The field of information design is developing so rapidly that I believe an unbook is the only way to do this.
I believe that the unbook form has real potential, especially for emerging disciplines like information design, such as user experience design, agile software development, social media, and knowledge management, as well as established disciplines which are undergoing significant change (finance? government?).
To support these efforts, Jay and I have set up a website to support the unbook movement and provide a comprehensive catalogue of available titles. Please take a moment to visit theunbook.com/ and leave us a note! And if you are working on an unbook or plan to start one, let us know so we can add it to the uncatalogue.
