Tom Igoe

I went to the lecture with Tom Igoe and was so impressed. I didn't understand some of the concepts that he discussed but it was very interesting to see some of the creations that he and his colleagues have created. I liked the way he compared physical computing with a Wii controller. That made it a bit easier to follow along. I really enjoyed hearing about Hannah Pemer Wilson and seeing some of the knitted bracelets. It will be interesting to see how her product will grow over time. My favorite was Tom Gerhart and the way he transformed material from nature and using their abilities. The firelight that he created was awesome, taking the light from a candle and having it transfer onto a wall sconce...AMAZING!!! I'm so glad I went to the lecture, it really opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that lay in technological design!

OTR- I also listened to some of the old time radio shows. I enjoy hearing the mystery stories and the use of sound effects. I used to listen to a radio show on CD called "Suspense" from the 1940s and 50s. It had guest appearances by Vincent Price and Orson Welles. It's great to listen to on road trips:)
