Mashup Exercise: Ma Baker in Japan.
I did a quick exercise, in continuation of what I had previously done for my 7×7 project, adding the concept of mashup into it. So I took “Ma Baker” by “Bonny M.”, and “Big in Japan” by “Alphaville”, recorded and mashed them up together. Vocals, Guitars, Bass by my old self, and recorded in GarageBand. …

Commentary on “Mashups: The new breed of Web app”
Mashups, in my opinion can be considered a synthesis of the existing data on the web. Limitless applications can be thought of when dealing with Mashups.

Makers Faire pick #3: Route detecting robots
This robot sent repeated IR beams and received them back, on the basis of which it calculated its next move. Hence, always staying on the path (the path being pre-drawn on the ground below it)

This system used a chip with pre-written MIDI drum samples. The way the MIDI sounds were triggered were determined by a light sensor: while it received no light, it would play the MIDI sample. To block the light, the maker used a plastic disc and a marker. By making different patterns on the disc using …
