Remote Saturday Homework
After another long phone conversation, tried to sketch a couple of things for Coll — mainly how I was envisioning the Collideoscope machine, a baroque artifact which should be as interesting to use as to discover initially. I love the idea of it: the sight of many children clinging to things that smash glass...
Later I talked to Palvis and we discussed the Chumbacca Search Engine in detail. It will be based on Princeton's Wordnet and it is starting to look possible. I'm particularly excited about this and would really like to be able to show a demo at Eyba, but I'll be happy with just the concept and a good explanation of it.
Note to self: need to talk to lucas about how to integrate (or not) the Search Engine into the online catalog.
I'll be working on the New York deadlilne until Friday, so expect no updates (although the Chumbacca-flow never stops...)
