Brisin: If you read this, we're gonna meet my lovely Londoner fashion photographer friend for lunch, as he has that time off; I think we're gonna meet at Piccadilly Circus with him and then go somewhere. I'll be in London around 10 or 11 or so, please text me or call me so I can contact you.
On another note, I've decided to take a leap of faith and collaborate for a prototype for a Kindle-like device you can use as a sketchbook and notepad this summer. Basically an iPad kind of thing with a
Mirasol (or equivalent) touchscreen* and built-in drawing/notes saving organiser. This is partly because I want to do digital art with a tablet computer, because I am incapable to keep my notes in order and I know people who have similar (static) things involving SmartBoards (and the code to save them based on a timetable you enter once would be really straightforward), and ultimately I'm thinking of doing some cybernetics-related experiments that will use the same kind of display. And I've access to the things I need to build it. I don't have access to half the technology and expertise I need for the actual project, but I think this one is pretty cool in and of itself, and I think there might even be a market for it, especially once this sort of display becomes mainstream.
*I think right now it's more feasible for us to just take that type of "electronic ink" display and make it a touchscreen ourselves. And more fun! But mostly I don't think we'll have access to the finished product this summer, and I want this to be more than just writing organiser software. If I only wanted to do that, I could just get into Android development.
