Initial dabblings of a project I conceived yonkkkks ago…

I had planned to draw glitchy scribbles over the top. Not sure now. One thing is for sure, they look lush big. I will upload some bigger versions in due course, along with some more cans.

Enjoy.

Went for my first walk in the Peak District for a long time last Saturday. Saw this tree, against the heather…took a photo.

I have been working on a modular midi interface, designed to allow midi sequencing of objects in the local environment. Behold, the midi-octopus


Maker Faire

Posted: April 1st, 2009 | Author: Sam | Filed under: General Updates | 1 Comment »

I attended the recent Maker Faire in Newcastle. It was the first time the mighty Maker Faire had visited the UK. It was a really inspiring event. I met some great people including spending some time with the delightful Mitch Altman, who is making the world a better place, one TV at a time.

This was my favourite thing there and it gave me the confidence to get on and build my forthcoming ‘midi-octopus’:

Here are a few more things you don’t get to see every day:

Newcastle was cool too. Went out taking some photographs and generally enjoying the surroundings:

Couple of bars stocked Chimay White too, so I was a happy boy :)

Let’s not mention the hotel…was kept up by people shagging in the corridor and my somewhat angry neighbour. Joy.

A wicked time overall though! Big ups to O’Reilly / Make: magazine and roll on the next UK Maker Faire!


dotPlay(); launched

Welcome to the all new dotPlay(); website. This replaces the old sAMsKi.net website with a blog driven site and ‘old fashioned experimental dumping ground website’.

My aim is to keep the content on this site moving by putting up all sorts of project experiments and dabblings, no matter how unsuccessful or embryonic.

Watch it grow…
