  4. sounds like an arstechnica performance... by mrgreenfur · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Cellular Automata and Music Using Java

    a teacher/performer/artist/programmer at my school did a performance at arstechnica called 'cell phone symphony' where he used the audiences cell phones to make music! Each person sat in one chair, mapped to a grid on his computer. They got special phone connections with the phone company to dial a lot at once. They got a big projector to projet over the audience, and had a spotlight (of sorts, from the projector) pop up on someone when their phone rang. The whole audience watched via a big mirror.

    heres the wired article.

    Carnivore Client. People in the Flash Community even made Flash front-end for it using the XML Socket in Flash 5.

    One of my favorite visualizer is JJ:

    JJ is a software agent which uses facial expressions to visualize the emotional content of network traffic. JJ is implemented as a Carnivore Client, an open-source format for network surveillance applications.

  6. Wireless Park In Portland by dailywireless · · Score: -1, Redundant · on The Wireless City

    Yesterday I submitted A Plan For A Wireless Park in Portland. Portland is re-designing its Waterfront Park.

    They liked it! I got an immediate response from the people in charge who said they'd CC the wireless ideas to everyone in the department and include it in their newsletter.

    I like the idea of interactive, engaging and site-specific applications. The Dialtone Symphony (.ram) is wholly produced through the choreographed ringing of people's own cell phones. Here are some other ideas:

    The Public Review Draft of Portland's Waterfront Park Master Plan is available on-line.

    The Morrison Bridge, in the center of Waterfront Park, has phone line access. An Orinoco 2500 ($1000) could drive Wi-Fi repeaters on the north end (near Saturday Market) and the south end, (near the Alexis Hotel), providing blanket coverage. The repeaters could be camouflaged as animals or Oregon historic figures. Waterfront Park also has a direct shot to the Council Crest tower where Winfield Wireless has a wireless ISP.

    Rent out Segway Scooters with built-in Pocket PCs. Your GPS position would trigger Oregon Historical Society's Narrated Neighborhood Tours, Portland Visitor's Association's Self-Guided Tours, Portland Metro Maps or Lewis and Clark Maps. Wireless cameras could be helpful for the police, too.

    Jacksonville Florida's free wireless hot spots provide tourist information as well as internet access. Multi-lingual kiosks, incorporating webtablets with language translation are available now. Text to speech can be output in a variety of languages. And it sounds good. Human voice samples are now incorporated into text to speech. Choose a language, respond by voice.

    Don't give up! Put some wireless ideas together and send it to your Parks Department.

    Dreams DO come true!
