NextFest snapshot gallery 05/18/2004 01:20 PM

Here are some snapshots I took at Wired Magazine's NextFest this weekend. At left, a young man named Cameron Clapp who became a triple amputee at age 15 in a train accident. He now uses "smart" prosthetic limbs that have to be charged up at night like a cell phone. The computer-aided devices give him greater mobility and independence than conventional prosthetics -- he's a champion amputee athlete.

Other memorable moments -- Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson asks NASA Space Architect Gary Martin about the search for life "out there;" Martin says, "It would be even more frightening if we never find life out there -- it would mean that we are entirely alone, in a very big universe."

Pixar pulled aside the curtain and gave us a glimpse into the creative process behind Toy Story and other blockbuster CGI features. Wired entertainment editor Jennifer Hillner hosted exclusive previews of mindblowingly cool footage from the forthcoming Fox/Blue Sky Studios animated feature Robots (due out Spring 2005), and from the CGI/bluescreen project Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (opening this September). Sunday ended in an incredible roundtable discussion with space entrepreneurs including ID/Quake/Doom software wizard John Carmack; Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson, Xcor CEO Jeff Greason, and Xprize founder Peter Diamandis. News there included never-before-seen footage of Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne, and of a new R+D effort from Carmack.

NextFest Recap


NextFest Recap 05/21/2004 11:26 PM
The NextFest expo in San Francisco last week delighted goers with air cars, invisibility digital-camo outfits, and a brainball game. NextFext had many cool robotic delights also such as the fact that robotic experts predict there will be a multi-billion-dollar robotics industry by 2006. Also, ASIOMO made an appearance. Extreme tech has a cool slideshow of what you could have seen there. SfGate.com has a cool picture of the Video T-Shirt movie trailer advertisement for the upcoming I,Robot.

Wired NextFest: decompression


Wired NextFest: decompression 05/17/2004 02:46 PM
So, I spent a fair amount of my waking hours in recent months programming the Main Stage portion of NextFest, the Wired Magazine event sponsored by GE that took place at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center this weekend. I took lots of snapshots, and I'm eager to share them -- along with some of what I observed at the event. But right now, I'm still peeling my brain off the floor. I'm exhausted. More soon, but for now this quick snapshot that kind of sums it all up for me. Seeing so many families and children experiencing technology first-hand with this look of sheer amazement and delight on their faces made all the work feel worthwhile.

I, T-shirt: wearable movie trailers at
NextFest
05/17/2004 10:31 PM
In The Hollywood Reporter today, an item about t-shirts that display movie trailers -- as seen at both E3 and NextFest last week.
Coming soon to a T-shirt near you: trailers for "I, Robot," starring Will Smith. In the never-ending search to capture the attention of consumers bombarded by commercials, billboards and a massive array of other advertisements, 20th Century Fox debuted an innovative new guerilla marketing tactic at E3 last week -- T-shirts embedded with video screens that played "I, Robot" trailers.

The two women who wore the video T-shirts as they walked around E3 drew crowds and TV news crews on hand to cover the gaming conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center. 20th Century Fox is the first studio -- or business of any kind -- to use the video T-shirt marketing tactic developed by San Francisco-based Brand Marketers.

If you're anywhere near San Francisco this weekend, join me at the inaugural edition of Wired Magazine's NextFest.

I worked with Wired Magazine to produce a series of panels, presentations, and "fireside chats" at the event -- guests include Andrew Stanton from Pixar, "Doom" creator John Carmack, Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson, X-Prize founder Peter Diamandis, James Luyten of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Xcor CEO Jeff Greason, NASA Space Architect Gary Martin, robotics guru Rodney Brooks, and creators of the film "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."

The event is presented by General Electric, and takes places Friday through Sunday at Fort Mason center in SF. Tickets are affordable and available. It's a family-friendly event aimed at consumers and deep geeks alike... think Epcot Center meets 1904 World's Fair. Robots, rocket ships, and an abundance of geektastic eye candy. Going to be great. See you there!

Digital Snapshot .. "What does a moment look like? Can snapshots freeze a moment in time? In Digital Snapshot, motion fragments were captured and rearranged in a new visual context via unconventional digital manipulations. A long take camera movement cycle generates a unique 'digital painting.' In this case Digital Snapshot enables the viewer to experience a virtual walk through a beautiful park during summertime."

A snapshot of my neighbourhood... 06/08/2004 01:11 AM

6.30am: The Police call around and get me to open the front door. They knock on my neighbour's door and ring the doorbell a couple of dozen times. Looking out the back window, the entire block is surrounded by plain clothes policemen. My neighbour doesn't answer. This probably means that their son has beaten his girlfriend to a bloody pulp again.

Pre Make Kit 0.9.2-s1 (Snapshot branch) 03/24/2005 10:36 PM
Pre Make Kit (PMK) aims to be a BSD alternative to GNU autoconf, GNU libtool, and pkg-config. It uses data files instead of scripts to limit the spreading of trojans in software packages. It's designed to be easy to use for users and developers. For better portability and efficiency, all of the components are written in C. Requirements are a POSIX system, a C compiler, a POSIX shell, and a make tool.

This release improves the parser and adds a backup option to pmkinstall.
