Building Your WordPress Website with iPad in Mind. Last week I looked at how you can build a WordPress website on your iPad.
This week I am doing it the other way. How can you make your website look good on an iPad? Arguably, I could be looking at all sorts of tablets. I could be a little more encompassing and look at Android as well. However, the iPad’s market share makes it the device to be adapting to right now. Data from business insider. Description of project - irishvernacular.com. There are a number of ways of describing this project - it could be described practically, philosophically, politically or architecturally.
This website is meant to be used by a variety of people and I will examine the project in different ways. I imagine it will mean different things to different audiences. A Practical Description This is an extremely economic house to build. I found myself without a lot of money and urgently requiring somewhere to live. I used my experience of modular building methods learnt from contemporary building practice, from a wonderful self-building pioneer Walter Segal, and from the rural vernacular tradition of building your house instead of going and buying it. In the end I had the house complete over a period of two years, I was on site for a total of fifty days during that period, and kept within my budget. A Political Description We have been duped. A Philosophical Description The notion of the Commons in a society is important to me. A few hints. Schwarz® - Muppet Whatnot Workshop - A Unique Muppet Experience.

Rapid Assembly for Physical Voxel Fabrication (Digital Materials) Project Members: Jonathan Hiller Imagine a desktop fabricator capable of making perfectly repeatable, arbitrary, multi material 3D objects with microscale precision.
The objects would be composed of millions or even billions of small physical building blocks (voxels). Some building blocks could be hard, some could be soft. Some could be red, others green or blue. Some could be conductive and others could perform computation or store energy. Overview In the digital domain, a 3D object is composed of repeating, fundamental building blocks known as voxels. Digital Fabrication: Voxels of multiple materials are autonomously assembled Digital manufacturing is inspired from biology, where DNA, amino acids, and proteins all illustrate systems where a digital structure is formed from a discreet number of aligned, fundamental building blocks. Hardware The voxjet has been used to demonstrate fully recyclable multi-material 3D printing. Digital Material Properties Publications. The Brink - What We Make Makes Us. Make your own lampshade kit.

Interactive Fabrication » Fabricate Yourself. Fabricate Yourself is a project that documented the Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction Conference.
Usually we think of documentation in terms of text, photography and video, but given the tangible theme of the conference we decided to engage the community by capturing and fabricating small 3D models of attendees. This enabled us to build a tangible model of the event and fabricate it piece by piece during the conference. Attendees firstly capture their favorite pose using a Microsoft Kinect. The depth image from the Kinect is processed into a mesh and displayed onscreen in real-time. At any time they can capture the mesh and save it as an STL file. Dovetail joints are automatically added to the side of the models so they can be snapped together.
The STL files were printed using a Dimension uPrint 3D printer kindly provided by Stratasys. Below you can see the models packed on to the 3D printing base. For those interested, a render of a full resolution model is shown below.
