the white table gets musical application

Image of the big table in use by some of the Music students doing collaborative music application on the table I designed and built. I wish I had time do work on 8 things at once. Back to writing grant application.

CloudFall

Richie has been running the cloud with the new acceleration code I wrote yesterday. Its been going fine all morning but when they got back from Lunch one sphere started bobbing. I looks like the gear has gone on that one.


Richie and Nadia looking for frayed wires ( one found).

Cloud Disaster



New controller arrived to drive the cloud R had it up and running this morning.

Looks like the weight of the balls cause them to strip the gears. Very Very Low moment.
