Hong Kong Slam Jam with MC Yan by Thomas Lee
Scott Rippee @ 4:13 pm Saturday, March 20th, 2010I found this after finding Thomas Lee’s photograph. Lots of movement from the DSLR being carried around, in/out of focus, and deliberate rack focuses give a great raw feel.

A Door to Anywhere // 隨意門 from Thomas Lee on Vimeo.
Thomas Lee has an interesting gallery The Olympic Eyes showing security cameras and security watching over the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
For the Olympics, Beijing has installed some 300,000 closed circuit cameras and spent $12-billion on related security. There were reportedly 100,000 policemen on Olympics duty, excluding volunteers and civilian recruits. The watch was a spectacle in itself.
All the security and surveillance upgrades have stayed after the Olympics, and the homeland security boom is spreading to other 660 designated “safe cities” across China. Many human rights groups have pointed out that the technology will be — and has been — directed at protests and dissenters.

Quicksilver tech talk by developer (Nicholas Jitkoff)
Scott Rippee @ 8:42 pm Monday, September 29th, 2008Quicksilver is one of my favorite and most used apps on the Mac. Nicholas Jitkoff covers some of the more interesting Quicksilver features than the basic launcher I’ve been using it for.
Hiding from Big Brother
Scott Rippee @ 1:48 pm Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008That’s what she said
Scott Rippee @ 2:17 pm Sunday, April 20th, 2008I want to play ball with my kids before I get too old, and before that happens I need to get laid, and before that happens I need to be in love, and I don’t want to hear edddon’tknow I can’t help eddon’tknow. No, No I’m a catch and I’m not going to be the one that got away.
…
There’s nobody I hate enough to write her name on this card.
Brobinius
Scott Rippee @ 1:52 pm Sunday, April 20th, 2008I was going to put in the time and get a forked ruby out to fill in some feature gaps, but the maker of tender love beat me to it.
Brobinus adds some much needed features like Object#tase! and brobinius –screencast my_code.rb for youtube integration. link
JollysFastVNC gets the job done
Scott Rippee @ 11:43 am Sunday, April 13th, 2008I’ve been using Chicken of the VNC for the last month only to be annoyed by it’s slowness and scrollbars added because of the higher resolution server. I did a search for VNC clients for Mac and found the.taoofmac.com Mac VNC list.
JollysFastVNC is my new VNC client and it is much faster than Chicken of the VNC. Switch and be joyful.

CSU Chico’s Intelligent Systems Laboratory
Scott Rippee @ 3:53 pm Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008Came across this document that is the progress report for the first half of the grant that CSU Chico received for robotics while I was there. The report included example project papers, one of which was from one of my groups and included several pictures of my lovely boebot along with some colorful language:

That particular design was used the two sensors pointing at the ground to follow a line and detect the ending point, a perpendicular line.
From the look of the Intelligent Systems Laboratory page they are doing well with several interesting projects in the works.
