2 Day Loop

Feedback from Saturday night:

You could speak in different mics, which would come out of the speakers in random different areas. So, you could hide amongst the bubble wrap things, call your friend and they wouldn't know where you were.

The funniest thing was that it records some of the things you say into it, and replays at random times. Long after I'd left, my friend could hear me calling her name in there!

Tribe magazine thread


A stone's throw away is the popular DANDYBERRY, a series of person-sized, bubble-wrapped towers meant to simulate a city. Speakers and microphones inside convey a cacophony of sounds created by the crowd. I'm told the lights will go out if the voices stop, but there seems no danger of that.

DandyBerry was so much fun.

I'll put up some shots of the setup and tear down after I recover from the dandyweek. Until then, here are some amazing photos up on Flickr.

We're getting a chance to ensure DandyBerry stands up to the rain. It's doing fine. We still aren't a huge fan of the wetness though.

Solder Berry

It's the end of the night and I have about enough brain juice to simply list what we did today.
Rod made omelettes.
We started wrapping the box frames in vapour barrier.
We aggressively debated the meaning of life and art.
We got back to vapour barrier-ing, finishing 5 boxes this afternoon.
We then covered 3 boxes in the final bubblewrapping.
Rod and I saw each other through a blurry layer of plastic all day.


The pre-cut and rolled up pieces of bubblewrap graced the living room looking like a little fluffy cloud from DandyLand.

We're currently finishing up some tedious soldering with Mike Lanctot, who showed up and schooled us in soldering techniques. More work tomorrow, and likely more uninteresting prog blog posts!
