In a Cast

Dillo writes on 5-2-13: I was over @ TechShop last night and ran into our own Corey "Fro". As some of you may or may not know, I broke a finger on my longboard last month. It's been in a cast for about 3 weeks, still got a couple more to go. Anyway, our Mr. Fro did me the favor of decorating it, SWARM-style :)

SWARMies represent!

Burning Man 2008

December 11th - I Love My Creations
December 11th - Outside refuse that was the man. The Swarm and its (edit: many) creator(s).
These things (I think there were four or five of them) were my boyfriends favorite art project on the playa. I heard more about them than I ever wanted to. Apparently these balls know where all the other balls like them are and interact in a swarm-like manner. At some unlucky moment in my life I could have told you the reason why this is the coolest thing EVAR OMG WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND. But whatever; he is tolerant while I take my pictures, the least I can do is pretend to care about why these cool looking balls are fucking amazing. And, of course, take (one of) the creators picture.
Edit: Tad, the guy in the picture, has written me to let me know he is but one of many creators. Spread the love (blame) for these cool little orbs around!

The title page of Chapter 12 of Learning Computing With Robots Image:Chapter12.pdf edited by Deepak Kumar. Next to the image reads the following:
Fast, Cheap & Out of Control
We suggest that within a few years it will be possible at modest cost to invade a planet with millions of tiny robots… With imagination and nerve we can invade the whole solar system. From a paper titled, Fast, cheap and out of control: A robot invasion of the solar system, Rodney Brooks and Anita M. Flynn, Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Volume 42, pp 478-485, 1989. Opposite page: Orb Swarms Used with permission, Copyright Phil Spitler (www.orbswarm.com)
