Also collect rotation/acceleration data and -post-process out movements to give a stable 360 video image which can be played -back with 3D goggles (or a basic computer/tablet interface?). - -Enhanced version would also record bike vibrations, pedal turns, audio, and -handlebar positions, and this could be played back on an artificial bike. - -Solar Autonoma ------------------ -An audio "artifact": a CD jewel case with a photovoltaic panel powering a -generative digital/analog electronic music box which outputs hundreds of years -worth of non-repeating audio to an 1/8" headphone jack. - -One crude output algorithm could be the raw position of a turning machine -(probably a busy beaver) tape position over time. Another is interpreting a -meta-stable cellular autonoma's cells as notes; perhaps the combination of -these two ideas? - -Should be engineered to last at least a few decades without repairs, which -means compensating for PV cell degredation. - -Techno-cyption ----------------- -Robustly encode arbirary data into techno, similar to image-based stenography -techniques. Should be able to recover the data from audio recorded live at a -concert or rave; perhaps in real-time? - -Leads to "verboden" music which is illegal to broadcast and listen to? - -Robotic Mouse Cursor ------------------------ -An omni-drive robot encased in a mouse, controlled by a touchstick or touchpad. -Should translate very quickly, so the user feels like they are "mousing" and -selecting over the floor. - -"Nest for Lighting" ---------------------- -Auto-dimming lights to react to ambient light levels. Could also do the -opposite and stochastically vary the light level to give cloud-like effect in -window-less rooms. - -Sciduino ----------- -Open Hardware LabJack competitor. Compatible with wiring, Lua scripting, full -free GCC toolchain. Support/drivers for Octave, Matlab, Mathematica, UNIX /dev -points, EPICS, ROOT, ROS, RTEMS. "Industrial Quality" for $80-100, "Commercial -Quality" $50. Characterized and well-documented analog interfaces. - -General Purpose Laptop CardBus FPGA Interface ------------------------------------------------ -Computational acceleration (compression, codecs, crypto, real-time -modeling/simulation), external digital interfacing (logic analyzer, USB -debugging, HDMI, networking, etc), host debugging (watchdog, timing, console -interface, bus sniffing, peripheral emulation, kernel unit tests). High-density -pins to many different cable types (extra $$$) with logic-level shifters: -"universal digital I/O". $100. - -Interforum -------------- - -* similar to livejournal, reddit, slashdot -* federated accounts (user@domain.tld) with petnames via contact list -* RSS feeds of new topics started by individuals or for groups -* no concept of "friending" built in, but do have ACL (can view, can comment) - based on contacts list -* head of thread can be a canonical URI/URL of external content -* abuse/downvote gets reported to thread-hosting domain -* by default all user content is crypto-signed by default -* policy is left to domain servers: moderation of new messages, retainment - length, max number of users in a given topic, etc - -* store-and-forward? -* primary anti-spam: only display stuff signed by people in contact lists -* need a URI scheme for discussion threads -* oauth? kerberos-like? -* domain keys used to vouch for messages and users -* integrated or parallel keyserver stuff? -* cross-domain karma and spamlist sharing? -* built-in GPG encryption, keyring -* notification via XMPP? -* crypto can happen either on server or by the client? -* "profiles" are a seperate issue (webfinger?) -* status updates could go through this, or XMPP or status.net? -* TODO: salmon? - -* would need to specify: -* storyboard of how a post/conversation would go -* message formats -* protocols between user-server and server-server -* ascillary technologies: authentication, notification, encryption, contact - management -* interop: HTTP website - -Improved Email ------------------ - -* "reliable asynchronous user-specific messaging" -* same store-and-forward paradigm; same IMAP-like message archive paradigm -* every core message signed by user and domain; unsigned messages get dropped -* core message headers can be pseudo-shadowed/re-written by extention headers -* user signing can be delegated to domain -* domain maintains public keyserver for all hosted users -* forwarded messages (mailing lists) signed by forwarding domain -* users or domains can brand a user or domain as spam/abusive -* domains maintain a web of trust/karma using announcements, refuse messages - from blacklisted users/domains -* special abuse@, admin@ "out of band" addresses for resolving blocklist - issues, not blocked except for severe cases -* attachments signed seperately, referenced by core message -* standardize (via defaults) on compressed UTF-8 message body - optional safe-subset of HTML -* hook into system-wide cacert/web-of-trust; individual user agents can specify - fallback policy - -Small Electronics Projects ------------------------------- - -Wireless "Knob": probably bluetooth; a much cheaper clone of the Griffin -PowerMate Bluetooth knob. 3D printed or hand-made case. USB chargable. Could be -encrypted with a USB dongle, or just encrypted in general. - -Tiny wireless analog I/O jacks. For sensors; USB charging. I guess this is -pretty much every IoT devkit ever, but lab-oriented (raw voltages/currents, -characterized and buffered I/O). - |
