Circular actions

I started thinking about; how people are running in circles in such way that when they reach the top of the circle they tend to forget the originated point opposite to where they are in the circle (due to lack of resources, or bad memory – for this or that reason), and then their actions tend to lead them back to that opposite point.

It doesn’t matter which resources you would use, the nature is commonly built this way. People who are being alienated to their behavior, tend to be disappointed, or get mad due to this fact.

Then after thinking about this definition, I continued thinking more about it. And came with this definition.

What if, any action will open ALL POSSIBILITIES to you. And without taking out of the equation the starting point – or any points that lead you to the current place – enabling you every moment to get to any of the points in this n graph points you virtually created.

It is easy explaining and picturing that when talking dimentions 2nd, or 3rd, yet 4th (including the element of time), or 5th,  one can go further to the N Dimention as well — would result an extraordinary picture.

Nonetheless, when talking about systems that are based on resources. Whether the resources ;

  1. are physical – such as within element of buildings or gadgets,
  2. or knowledge — whether you would have to dig deep enough in order to find out a solution for a given unknown element, or formula)

– on these occasions… it is a hard task. Due to the simple fact that not always you have all these resources – physical or knowledgeable.

Defining a system that will solve the solution to a user of that sort of system, could be great. How many of us know exactly how a daily used device works. Or how a certain system works. Most of the time, an expertise in one area or another would consume a lifetime of learning, and experimenting with it.

Even experts use shortcuts, in their work – sometime – they just press a magic button that gives them the solution for a given task.

Using a future system by one, would look to the observers in a system that doesn’t know much about the whole as magic. And could produce stories associated with legends, or fairy tales. Yet, these stories are making the readers, watchers or listeners — as part of the same system as well. Opening possibilities to them and empowering them with powers they didn’t know existed within them.

The receivers become a part of the system the transmitter give them. One, most of the time, have the power to decide whether he would like to be a part of that transmitter system. Smart people know how to avoid stepping into systems they dislike.

Microboards

I’ve been thinking for a while now, which one on the micro board to purchase, and play with. Basically microboard are small electronic boards, which you can develop on and build all sort of cool stuff.

There are these main ones on the market these days, which I know of:

  1. Raspberry PiRaspberry Pi Wiki Pages
  2. ArduinoArduino Wiki pages
  3. BBC Micro bitBBC Micro bit Wiki pages
  4. And many more over the globe

The boards got basic connectivity ports (such as usb, power supply port). And you attach to it all sort of electronics (such as led lights, sd card for storage, etc).

You can build all sort of things from these micro boards, such as:

  1. Digital slides show frame
  2. 3d printers – (for example using an arduino board)
  3. Logo turtle bots
  4. Electronic led changing display – (according to audio sound frequencies)
  5. Led text banners

After you understand the basic electronics, you can download (or better else write by yourself)  an application for the board, using the electronics you’ve attached to it.

Every board, got its own software toolkit. Where you can download the SDK to your home computer, most of them got all the available platforms (linux, windows or OSX). The SDK enable you to decide what you would like to run using this gadget you’ve just build.

As for me, I didn’t decide yet, which gadget I would like to build. And which one of all these board possibilities I would like to build it with.

Diving into 3d programming – Supplement (Web)

As I started with some 3d programming on delphi — Another requirement was raised. I needed to port some of the code, to a web based engine.

I recalled that once I played a little with VRML. Yet, after a quick search I found the following 3d WebGL engine called three.js. Due to the fact that I was stunt of the result of it, I decided to post this short supplement to my previous post.

The three.js handles the limitation of processing power on browsers, taking into consideration and a high use of the HTML5 architecture. This opensource package includes many demos, which can be viewed under the link above.

Although the package is (from a very short view), as structured as the delphi glscene. It uses the javascript in a very impressive way.

I’ll post some more notes, after building and using it a little more.
