Kinda fascinated by @worrydream’s video about how “seeing spaces” are the next “maker spaces” (via @fredbartels)

What’s in the box from @FredBartels @Kickstarter project?

Six months ago, I back Fred Bartels Kickstarter project to develop a 21st Century Open-Source Building Toy. I have a ton of respect for Fred, and I was curious about his attempt to encourage people to “Let Go of Your Lego.” The parts combine to be a Tin Toy — TIN being an acronym for Triangulated Irregular Network Toy.

My package arrived this morning, and I realize that the building possibilities are endless…with enough pieces. Here are some helpful links:

• SketchUp and STL files for the hubs are on Makerbot’s Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:150246
• Images of Fred’s prototype: http://tintoy.posthaven.com

Write and run your Processing code anywhere you are with P5JSSketch for iPhone

Thanks to Fred Bartels (@fredbartels) for sharing a link about P5JSSketch (@P5JSSketch) for iPhone on the NYCIST listserv this morning.

P5JSSketch is a tiny code editor for Processing.js. Write and run your code anywhere you are.

Erik Neumann (@openblackboard) mentioned that P5JSSketch is much better than pjs4ipad which offers “offline Processing.js web clip apps with built-in code editing.”

pjs4iPad lets you create Processing.js apps that can be run and edited directly in HTML5 browsers and will run offline. Currently tested with Mobile Safari (iPad, iPhone, Android 2.1, iPod touch, Chrome).
