		<title>Cut with the kitchen knife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent Instructables post on building a paper clone (also BoingBoinged) using Pepakura reminded me that I&#8217;ve been meaning to revisit these prints, which were outtakes from a larger sculptural project using Pepakura. It was started in the kitchen/studio of the Australia Council Studio in Tokyo during my three-month residency, and the prints are just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reaction vase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
image via Nervous System&#8217;s blog
I own several pieces of jewelry by Nervous System, a pair of designers who &#8220;create&#8230; experimental jewelry, combining nontraditional materials like silicone rubber and stainless steel with rapid prototyping methods. We find inspiration in complex patterns generated by computation and nature.&#8221; The beautiful patterning on their Reaction Vase, above, was apparently generated [...]]]></description>

		<title>PhotoCity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
PhotoCity is &#8221; a game played outdoors, with any camera, even a cell-phone camera. By taking photos of buildings around your city or school campus, you can earn points, capture flags, and virtually own your favorite buildings, all while contributing to a large-scale 3D reconstruction.&#8221;

		<title>Sculpting in sand, with realtime data, to simulate terrain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is a sandbox with false-color terrain maps and realtime data projected onto the sand, a new tool used by firefighters to create simulations. The clever aspect is that the projection allows them to &#8217;sculpt&#8217; the sand to model the terrain. (The article was a little unclear, but it seems they then re-scan the model [...]]]></description>

		<title>Body/Traces at The Smithsonian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m afraid this isn&#8217;t the best image, but here is my cellphone snap of our installation at the Smithsonian International Gallery. The exhibition was designed by Michael Graves. I went to a talk he gave before the reception, and it was interesting to hear his insights into designing for museum visitors of all abilities. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Streetmuseum &#8211; historical photo AR iPhone app</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I wish I still lived in London, if only so I could use this iPhone app. (I am currently trying to revisit a project I did several years ago, pre-iPhone, involving reconstruction from historical photographs. It&#8217;s strange to look back at projects that are only six years old and realize how much more I could [...]]]></description>

		<title>This website on Steve Lambert&#8217;s WPFolio blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used the terrific free, open-source WordPress theme WPFolio to put this site together, and Steve Lambert, one of the developers, recently did a post about this site. I really recommend WordPress and WPFolio to any artists looking to put together a portfolio site. Daniel Wiener&#8217;s WPFolio tutorials are great too.

		<title>Mt Rushmore gets 3d scanned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The various articles all say laser scanning, but that looks like a LIDAR scanner in the photo. (Which does use laser, but still&#8230;) Another dataset I&#8217;d love to work with!
The articles reminded me of this outtake, from one of our DAVID laser scanning sessions:
