processingjs
Here is the latest in a small series of tests, embedding processing sketches on this blog. This one uses the wonders of processingjs, John Resig’s fantastic port of processing to javascript. This animation is nicked directly from the processingjs website, so please don’t hold that against me. Some oddities notices so far – I can’t seem to work out how to include text in processingjs sketches, apparently there’s some kind of glyph-y magic which helps – and the mouse interaction seems broken. Hmm..

pachube coffee and gps
Below is a small experiment I’m currently running; very informally I’m updating a pachube feed (‘cups of coffee today’) with the current location data. It’s a bit of an odd experiment – I’m not really always drinking coffee, but once I set it up (using the pachube iphone app, which is pretty simple to use) I discovered that it logged the location of each coffee cup consumed. Not so exciting I know, but I’m interested in the notion that my daily activities and movements can be logged, tracked in some sense and collected to form an image – be that automatically or manually logged data. It’s by no means new territory, but I’m keen to see how it all works out. There’s a chance that the ‘update feed by twitter’ tool will come in handy, but who knows at this point.
So as I said, It’s a bit of a mish-mash, however there are a few things of interest. 1. I can log 0 cups of coffee, which will update the location but keep my caffeine intake low. 2. When i do have a cup of coffee the daily tally will increase and I’ll be able to see where and when it all happens (at work, that’s a no brainer..). 3. Along comes this openstreetmap based project from the pachube apps page – Trails.Have a look for yourself, just how well or unwell my coffee consumption is going over the last 24 hours.. Hopefully, if you’re reading this you’ll see a map below, with a gps overlay of location (x,y) and consumption (z) data. If not, then perhaps I’ve not updated in a while. Nonetheless, it’s got me thinking about these new consumer (no pun intended) tools which are now readily available – and free.Not sure where this will go, not exactly sure where it belongs, but it’s worth mentioning at least.Drink up!
