these are most of the remaining nola pics. i have lots of chicago stuff but i won't have time to post until i drive to oregon... goodbye...

This is a decent pair of frames that can be aligned, but because of the differnece in the field of view and a huge parallax (I have probably crossed the road to shoot the left frame), Hugin did not find even a single pair of points with above-threshold similarity.
I would have normaly given up on a pair like this, but this odd frame on the left that I shot out of a different vantage point and with a different lens serves as a glue betwen the two adjacent frames that almost do not overlap each other.
The Scribbler 2 Robot Badge Kit introduces soldering and DIY assembly to young people and adults who are new to electronics. After completion of this easy to assemble kit, you will have a miniature replica of Parallax’s Scribbler 2 Robot (S2).
This a great DIY Kit if you're just learning how to solder, and are new to electronic assembly techniques. However, even if you're a seasoned "DIY Veteran", this kit is fun to make.
After you've completed assembly, simply push the button to switch through all 7 LED colors!
The S2 Badge comes complete with PCB, all PCB mounted components, as well as a lanyard and battery.
Key Features:
Complete DIY kit with all necessary components - just provide your own soldering iron and solder to assemble
Battery is easily replaced for long life of the badge
Only a few components to solder, which is a great way to learn
"Smart" LED simplifies assembly with it's integrated controller

The last May, from the 15th to 18th, it took place in the Chelsea Old Town Hall of London, the opening of the 5th edition of the Parallax Art Fair, a meeting point for contemporary art that gathered more than 200 artists from more than 30 different countries from all over the world... and as it could be expected, Hysterical Minds took a trip to London to attend our international exhibition debut in one of the most important art fairs of Europe.
In this photo, you can see my piece "Afraid" up, the second on the right.

Del 15 al 18 de mayo, el colectivo de artistas Hysterical Minds estuvimos exponiendo en la famosa Parallax art Fair. En la foto se puede ver mi pieza para la expo "Afraid" (arriba, la segunda por la derecha) junto con las impresionantes piezas de otros compañeros.

All of a sudden the Radio Shack IC drawer has more than just Op Amps! It has a bunch of useful Parallax packages including (once I pulled away the coming soon sign), this Ultrasonic Rangefinder.

You can see a small 60fps movie of the lights cycling up to speed through delays between LEDs of from 25ms down to 0ms in steps of 5, then it holds on with no delays in an endless loop, here (726KB MOV). You can see a bit of flickering with the 0ms delay cycle at the end, but in real life, it's impercetable, all LEDs appearing steadily on. However, introducing a 1ms delay per LED does cause very visible flickering, but this shouldn't be the case when I move the final display to the PIC (likely a 16F84A or 16F648A). For some reason, the BS2p40 is just a slow mover, despite its rated clock speed.
Sorting the problem into categories of "What I have," and "What I need," and then ignoring the "What I have" part, ideally the looping of the 1st 4017 would reset the 2nd one, but also, each needs to tie to its own reset from its 1st unused output pin to keep from introducing empty outputs into the cycle. This has proven difficult, as it doesn't operate like a computer program, where everything that should get called gets called. If something happens too fast here, such as a chip's resetting itself, then the other thing that should happen, i.e. the other chip clocking, doesn't happen. I feel there's some diode-based trickery that might solve this, allowing me to tie pins into "nets," but making it so certain resets and clocks can't go the wrong direction in these interconnections.
Another option I thought of late last night was to use the devices more truly as decade counters, and tie some combination into a reset. E.g. I need this to loop after the 32nd output, so I can let the second one loop through a natural decade with no self-resets, but then tie both resets high through 2 transistors in an AND gate setup, with their bases tied to both 4017's 3rd outputs. When both chips are on their 3rd output, that means it's at clock 33, and it's time to reset. Naturally, this throws up another problem: in order to clock the 1st chip, I need to know when the 2nd one is looping. In this setup, I can only do this through the 1st output of the 2nd chip, but the 1st outputs of both will be high at startup, which means when I power the circuit, chip 2 will clock chip 1. I get around this with a bootup clocking through to 23, but that feels messy. If only these #@(%*! 4017s reset on the falling edge, all my troubles would be over. I could simply tie which pin I want to reset something, and when it drops down again, reset - perfect. It almost makes me wonder why they made it rising-edge, or at least, why they didn't give me a choice.
It's a nice pair of chips, allowing me to clock through a varying number of inputs with a single pin from the microcontroller, but it seems that every time I think I have it, clock and reset pins are vying with one. It feels like a riddle, though. A riddle with an answer to which I'm getting closer. I could solve all of this with shift registers, but I'd need 4 of them, and it would be such a waste of their abilities. I could also solve things more easily with components only, but there'd be so many of them. The idea here is to use a very small number of things to accomplish what should be a simple task, using only a single input (and another for reset would be nice, too).
Parallax Inc. uses two milling machines in the production of hardware for products. These mills can cut different types of metals, such as steel and aluminum, which is frequently needed in the robotic kits engineered at Parallax. Many of the products we build on these machines may be more suitable for injection molding or metal stamping, but we really like the high-quality look, feel and finish of a milled and anodized aluminum part.

Silverback:
Per the Renwick Gallery's website:
"The 'Parallax Gap' exhibit transforms theGallery’s Bettie Rubenstein Grand Salon into a visual puzzle.
This immersive, site-specific installation explores examples of interplay between craft and architecture through a ceiling-suspended structure running the length of the Renwick’s iconic gallery.
The installation embraces both Eastern and Western concepts of perspective through trompe l’oeil effects and multiple vanishing points to create a sense of soaring architectural volume.
Drawings of ceilings of nine different iconic American buildings are fabricated using a collection of skewed vantage points.
Laid near or atop one another, they create layers of both recognizable and abstracted architectural space that change as viewers move underneath. These perspectival illusions operate through the concept of parallax, or how the distance or depth of objects appears to vary when viewed from different lines of sight.
Parallax Gap is the Renwick’s first foray into commissioning examples of large-scale craft in architecture. and was designed by FreelandBuck, an architectural design practice based in New York and Los Angeles."
