For my cousin’s wedding I did not make a photo booth but a video booth. - With an array of DSLRs to create a bullet time effect. Click the image to see the video on youtube.com. Since this is a very visual project, you should really watch the video. This blog post contains the same info with more details, but those details are probably only relevant if you really want to recreate this project, which is not an easy thing to do.

ambient.garden is an experiment that started with the question: can a composition be organized in space rather than time? Can it be experienced in space by the listener?

The sounds of ambient.garden were assembled and grown into a music album, A Walk Through the Ambient Garden, also open source.

Snow emulates classic (Motorola 680x0-based) Macintosh computers. It features a graphical user interface to operate the emulated machine and provides extensive debugging capabilities. The aim of this project is to emulate the Macintosh on a hardware-level as much as possible, as opposed to emulators that patch the ROM or intercept system calls.

It currently emulates the Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512K, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Classic and Macintosh II.

Why the Original Macintosh Had a Screen Resolution of 512×342, and not 512×384 as One Might Expect
