Sketching in Hardware Day 1: John Maeda
- reflecting on Bell Labs' work with artists
- and the move by Michael Noel to policy
- from Design by Numbers to Ben Fry and Casey Reas - they were right in working on Processing! remaining open to discovery
- Scratch and Michael Resnick
- the beauty of limited vocabulary - and how does that relate to "individual artistic expression" (heavy scare quotes) - what is novel? does it matter that something is novel? or is it okay just to do stuff for fun?
- mixing student and faculty concerns on one blog - resisting attempt to separate them so that peopole can listen to each other
- looking for something simpler in computers - like a memory of Photoshop when it was really simple
- the difficulty of the "mathematical gap" between how we experience the world and how we represent it in computers - how about a programming language without math?
- coming from an art perspective: what is the user experience we need to make truly amazing things on a computer?
- the law requires annual reports, which in turn creates the graphic design industry - what if the required movies?

I have to agree that there needs to be a programming language without math. We need a language to quickly express simple ideas to test them out.
