Curt Huot from Digi-Key came by on 4 November and gave a presentation on work and life at Digi-Key. He also dropped off the bronze traveling trophy and the check for $5,000 that we got because this team took first at this year's Digi-Key Collegiate Computing Competition.

Mind Mapping is a great way to increase your effectiveness. It helps you maintain focus on both the things that are important and the things that are urgent. Your Mind Maps are easy to understand and work in with the way your brain organizes information, allowing you to prioritize, organize, and solve problems easily.

A common problem I encounter when designing anything from objects to layouts is the position of components, so I made myself some visual tools with a number of options. This is the relative position tool.
The tool is used by making a list of the components and then connecting two of them with suitable positional words, repeating the process as required.
Our son Adam Florin gave a fascinating talk about generative music at Algorithmic Art Assembly, hosted by Gray Area Art + Technology. He started with a quick demo of Patter, his music composition software, then took us on an illuminating journey through the many people and ideas which inspired him to create his cool freeform generative sequencer.
Brian Eno, who coined the phrase “generative music”, recently likened it to gardening -- but the material practice is just as much rooted in centuries of formal aesthetics, predictive statistics and industrial automation. How can we negotiate the tension between organic and and the mechanical in the algorithmic arts?
Adam has created some amazing digital tools and art exhibits in that space. It was great to hear what he's learned in this fascinating field, exploring the intersection of human and machine creativity. And to top it off, he gave this talk on his birthday, which was the best present of all!
