This is probably one of the most interesting flash applications I've ever come across. It is extremely easily to make interesting/beautiful melodies with this point and click sequencer. I would love to develop applications like this that are very light weight and lend themselves to experimentation.
Perhaps I can incorporate something like this into my final project. It would require a lot of learning on my end but it would be worth it.

The Free Sound Project
For this project, our group is going rely heavily on http://www.freesound.org
This website is a database of thousands and thousands of samples of literally anything you can think of.
Here is a clip of cat vomit...gross I know but still surprising that it exists.
The best part about all of this is that all samples are royalty free! I plan on using them for more than just this cyber-art project.

Whoops I've been too busy working on Cyber Art to post :(
Unfortunately, this is only my second post when there should have been many more by now. I will give brief description of the past two projects I worked on.
Project 1:
This project started out modest but quickly became a huge pain. I personally devoted two all nighters to this project to get the code working on the server side of the project. The reason so much effort was put into this piece because I plan on using it as part of my programing portfolio. Ultimately I am proud to have completed it and learned a lot about PHP/HTML/SQL in the process.
As of now, I have moved my server from my home in Northern Virginia to Blacksburg. I cannot explain why but this move has resulted in my code not working anymore. I blame my router.
Project 2:
The infamous toilet seat walky-talky project. I would like to let it be known that I am a software engineer. I have no experience working with hardware and circuit bending was a crash course into soddering, wiring, and a new appreciation for profanity. This project has taught me to accept my limitations with hardware hacking and I will leave all that wonderful world of crap to the ECE students. CS 4 Life Y'all.
This is proof that I did work.
I am excited for this new project. It doesn't require circuit bending...or toilet seats. Well, the toilet seats might be added later.
Love,
Nick

Reflection on the first day.
As instructed, I am creating this blog to reflect on this course and document my progress with my group from a personal perspective.
I am excited for this class and the projects that I will be working on, but I am a little worried at the amount of time that this will take. Fortunately the teachers addressed this issue and are giving us every Thursday to work on our projects. I am not used to 3 hour long classes so I will try to make it a personal goal to not let myself get distracted towards the end of each class session.
Currently our group is working on the first project. The theme is "projection" and we have chosen to harness the overwhelming amount of "tweets" produced by twitter users and project all of those tweets into the classroom in real time. The main problem we have right now is accessing each "tweet" in an efficient and clean manner. Currently we are focusing our efforts on producing a php script to get the xml document of the Twitter Public Time Line. I have donated my server as a place to implement this script on.
I will continue to update this blog with more information as our group progresses.
