珊瑚練習

日前經grasshopper的練習捕捉珊瑚生物機制的造型演練，這是階段性的成果，持續演化中...

張大春真敢講，讓人臉紅心跳

張大春真敢講，大概他也不缺別人賞飯吃吧！
不過....
好像之前造型藝術那首歌
另一件國王新衣事件

過一陣子應該就恢復平靜了
結構這麼穩固，大家都要謀生活，不是嗎？
況且眼光放大旁觀其運作，世界不就充滿如此的荒誕的糾纏嗎?

美國大肆浪費地球資源(石油、消費)，結果破產了就大印美鈔，啟動貨幣戰爭，全球物價上揚，只因他是有牌流氓....
用選票選出一個平庸的人，決定許多影響大家生活的事...好笨喔
設計競圖做太深入怕評審看不懂而平庸化，因為評審都選比較中庸的、有名的...設計師與評審都好不專業喔
近來醫學指出由於口交氾濫，性器官內的潛藏病毒引發人們口腔癌的機率........很矛盾吧

哀！我也很熱血對於這些不公不義不平之事，感到憤怒！
但是，憤怒應該留在某種原初的狀態，擱置放下他，更應專注聚焦在自己的奮鬥上，或許應該這樣勉勵自己，繼續往前走吧！
這些不平之事，還是可以說，但是少點憤怒，多點幽默吧！

大春前輩，息怒阿！還這麼熱血阿！

生物的演化很神奇，都市的運作很複雜，人生的命運很詭譎，一笑置之吧！

張大春：狗屁的文化創意產業 PO文回應淡大生
2010-11-17 中國時報 【林欣誼／台北報導】
　張大春在個人部落格貼出「答大學生──關於狗屁的文化創意產業」一文，以「詐騙集團」、「惡性腫瘤」比喻他根本不承認存在的「文創產業」，他指出：「文創產業的來歷是一群寄生蟲般的人物……他們的興趣和職責就是媒合政商資源，看起來充其量不過就是一種兼領經紀人和營銷者身分的幫閒份子。」

　這篇文章的源由來自一名自稱淡江大學學生的留言，這位學生表示校內開設「文化創意產業學分學程」，來自業界的老師，卻藉課堂為自己事業宣傳，因此質疑學界是否該應業界需要而改變學術方向。這位學生也轉貼在淡大任教的台灣文創公司董事總經理陳甫彥的演講文連結，希望張大春為他解釋這篇他「聽不懂的演講」。

　張大春的答覆火力全開。他表示，有一群沒有創作與研究能力的人，闖入出版、表演等傳統領域，虛構出「文化創意產業」一詞。「創作者拉不下臉來談生意，就需要他們。他們生意談大了，就回過頭來指導創作者。創作者要是沒出息一點，就等著被這種人掌控、消費或淘汰。」而淡大設立的這種學程是「建築在臺灣集體幻覺上的一個單位」。他力勸大學生「不要浪費生命，趕快遠離這個學程。」

　張大春昨天接受採訪時表示，他不否認文化界應該要有好的出版業、優良的影視、健全的經紀人制度、充分的技術資源，但作家跟音樂家、舞蹈家跟畫家等跨界合作早已不知進行多少年，現在卻發明出「文化創意產業」一詞，名為鼓勵，其實卻是一個政府補助的名目。

　張大春說：「這個名詞是空泛的，就像『創意總監』這個詞也是空的一樣，我只是指出國王的新衣，以及台灣社會的虛幻與百無聊賴。」

　他認為文創產業是個空泛的名詞，更對於文創產業進入學院成了一門學程，直言是「學院的墮落，低級得要死」。

　他表示，一門學術必須在教育系統經過長時間的累積才足以形成，但有的大學卻趕時髦，跟著語詞起舞，疊床架屋地搞出一套學院論述，「就像老鼠會一樣，不瞭解的人被騙進來，然後就繼續騙人，發展出一套論述，非常離譜。」

【轉貼】Google研發自動駕駛車 反應比人靈敏 ； Google tests cars that drive themselves

The cars have done thousands of miles, Google says


Nobody spotted the Google car crossing the Golden Gate Bridge


【聯合報╱編譯組／綜合報導】 2010.10.11 04:27 am


網路巨擘Google最近在加州對他們研發的自動駕駛車進行試車，它以豐田的Prius油電車改裝而成，駕駛座有人，但不開車，車頂的漏斗狀圓筒，也是汽車的「眼睛」十分吸睛，不過，Google擅自在加州進行自動駕駛試車，更讓道路安全專家側目，當局正調查是否違法。

Google正祕密研發自動駕駛汽車，它利用人工智慧軟體感應汽車的周遭環境，再模仿人類，作出一連串的駕駛決定。Google有七輛車同時試車。每車的駕駛座有一人，於車子出差錯時隨時接手，後座有一技師，負責監控導航系統。根據紀錄，自動汽車可完全無人為干預狀況下行駛一千六百公里，測試過程總行駛里程已超過二十三萬公里，僅偶爾須人為介入。

七部原型車目前僅有一次車禍紀錄，而且並非自動車本身的問題，而是停在紅綠燈前被後面的車輛追撞。

工程師表示，自動駕駛系統反應比人類靈敏，擁有三百六十度全方位感應，且不受分心、打瞌睡或酒精、藥物影響，自動駕駛汽車一旦上路，工程師相信，車禍死亡人數可望減半。

Google堅稱他們上路前，已問過律師，並無違法問題，且Google的自動駕駛汽車不會危及其他駕駛。該公司強調，研發自動駕駛汽車即是為減少車禍發生，且他們試車時，均有人在車上。


Engineers at Google have tested a self-driving car on the streets of California, the company has announced.

The cars use video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic, software engineer Sebastian Thrun said.

They remain manned at all times by a trained driver ready to take control as well as by a software expert.

Google hopes the cars can eventually help reduce road traffic and cut the number of accidents.

In a posting on the company's official blog, Mr Thrun said the self-driven cars had so far covered 140,000 miles on the road.

They have crossed San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate bridge, negotiated the city's famous sloping streets, driven between Google offices, and made it around Lake Tahoe in one piece.


'Exciting future'

Engineers told the New York Times that the forays onto the highways have been largely incident-free, apart from one bump when the car was reportedly hit from behind at a traffic light.

In his Google blog post, Mr Thrun - professor of computer science and electrical engineering at Stanford University - insisted that safety was the "first priority" in the project.

Routes are pre-planned, mapped first by real drivers, and local police are briefed in advance, he says.

But he pointed to figures from the World Health Organization which show that more than 1.2 million people are killed each year on the roads, and said that number could and should be reduced.

"We believe our technology has the potential to cut that number, perhaps by as much as half.


"While this project is very much in the experimental stage, it provides a glimpse of what transportation might look like in the future thanks to advanced computer science. And that future is very exciting," he added.

Google has rapidly branched out from its previous core business of search in recent years.

The company already has significant interests in location services through its Google Maps and Google Street View offerings.

是是是視覺藝術 MV

透過學生的張貼，我看到這首歌，相當有趣！我覺得不只是歌曲RAP也是視覺藝術。

enjoy it! it is pretty cool!

coral reef man

近來研究珊瑚的生長，無意間看到這男子的皮膚生長出如珊瑚礁的硬材，還真的嚇人！不過也倒是蠻令人奇特的經驗。神奇四超人其一！開玩笑的！比較重要的是形態生成的邏輯與秩序在生活世界裡無所不在，即便疾病都是以精細嚴謹的方式呈現，除了致命與恐懼之外也是美的呈現。


from kidsolo's newspaper

reef man is cured.
MAN who was dubbed the human coral reef after huge shell-like growths appeared all over his body has been cured.

Lin Tianzhuan was unable to move his arms and legs and said his “terrifying” condition made him feel like he was turning to stone.

The 38-year-old, of Shuimen in southern China, added people would scream when they saw him.

Horrified Lin became a hermit, hiding at the family home after he was shunned by friends and neighbours.

He began to notice the hard growths on his hands and feet when he was just 13.

He said: “They grew and grew and soon they were all over my arms and legs, my back and even my head. It was as if I was turning to stone and it was terrifying.

“Gradually my shell became thicker and thicker and I could no longer bend my arms or my legs. It was very frightening.”

But now, thanks to a year of treatment and surgery by doctors from a special skin clinic, he only has a few discoloured patches of skin to show for his horrific condition.

Fuzhou Dermatosis Prevention Hospital vice president Dr Liu Yinghong said: “He may need radiotherapy for quite some time still but he has made very good progress.”

LED triggered by LDR

The setting for the LDR exercise is the same as the button exercise except that the button is replaced by LDR(light dependent resistor) which leads to the environment light brightness as the factor controlling the LED's on/off. It is a simple interesting sensor-based electrical circuit.

The 2nd exercise is modified based on the previous one, but the output pin is shifted to the PWM which conveys not only the yes or no value but also how much the value is and what quality the value effects the environment condition.

button to control LED's ON/OFF & its brightness

After resting 4 2 weeks, i am back on my arduino journey. the new practice is about how to use button to control a LED's on/off and its brightness.

LED on/off is shown before, however, the interesting thing is setting the brightness by using the same button with PWM(pulse width modulation) concept. PWM is preset in arduino already. it is arrangement of the proportion of on and off to modulate the desired condition for brightness of LED or speed of motors etc.

it is a little exercise from chapter 5 in "getting started with arduino".
