In anticipation of FITC Amsterdam, our good friends at Mighty Design out of Toronto have built the FITC Spliffr, and we love it! Its all about getting inspired - virtually.
We love it so much, we want to give a pair of ticket to FITC Toronto 2010 to the best photo taken and entered. So go 'get inspired' and enter your photo into the gallery! Entries close on March 15th, so enter soon! To see all the entries so far, visit the Gallery!
Back in December, I posted about some progress on the Synesthesizer, a software-based synthesizer that translates pictures into music, with synesthesia-inspired metaphors.
I'd been planning to get the Synesthesizer into some decent shape for my talk, Hearing Pictures, at FITC Amsterdam, next Monday, February 22nd. But, I have to admit, I sorta hit a wall. I just wasn't getting the results with the Synesthesizer that I wanted.
So I started over -- working on a new software-based musical instrument from scratch. Her name is Synthia, she's the first musical instrument that we're releasing out of Almer/Blank Labs, and she's all rarin' to go -- but I won't let her come out for another 132 and a half hours.
I will debut Synthia, during Hearing Pictures. If you're planning to be at FITC Amsterdam, then you will most definitely not want to miss this presentation @ 4PM in Shaffyyzaal on Day 1, Monday, February 22nd.
And, after my talk, a Synthia installation will be running in the exhibit hall for the remainder of the conference.
Share and enjoy!

We are excited to announce that not only do we have Byron of Textura Design speaking on 'Changing the world with bikes' at our upcoming FITC Amsterdam 2010 event in Feb, but Byron also has hooked up a Mobile Social event through bike hugger during FITC Amsterdam! What is a mobile social you ask? As they put it, " Mobile Socials are an intersection of bikes, technology, and culture. We ride, talk bikes, blog, party, and give away product. The event offers no douchebaggery or lameness, but is for like-minded cycling fans of all types to get together and talk about bikes."
The Amsterdam Mobile Social, or MoSo, will happen on Sunday Feb 21st, the night before FITC Amsterdam kicks off. For all the details, please visit the bikehugger website.
