GardenSketch has specialized drawing tools to make designing landscapes easy. The existing
landscape can be easily entered by incorporating aerial or satellite photos. GardenSketch
helps you to choose suitable plants with its search capability. It also makes buying plants and mulch
easy, by computing the number of plants and/or amount of mulch required for an area.

Bugs Fixed:

• Selecting “in this plot” after adding hardscape didn’t clear text or drawing.
• Plants could sometimes show up with a spread equal to their height. This was most noticeable with tall thin plants like sunflower.
• Plants may have been looked up incorrectly by name.
• Adding plant with identical variety twice in the same row made two identical materials
• Couldn’t drop mulch on an area covered by a plant radius
• Items on alternate plots didn’t show up in list view
• Entering 2′3cm incorrectly set the field to 20″
• Entering range as 2-3′ should have been the same as 2′ to 3′ (2″ to 3′ should still work)
• Entering length or maxLength with unnamed plant silently failed
• There was a problem clicking on a picture column when used on multi-year lists
• Hyperlink text color didn’t change when clicked
• Selecting alternate picture didn’t change the dialog.
• Two pastes in a row on picture popup doesn’t create two entries on the plant.

• There were problems selecting small non-plant items (ex: wall) (Allow click ‘n’ pixels away from a non-plant item)

My kids love to play with the computer. Unfortunately, they also have the habit of renaming my hard drive to “axlfkaj”. So, I wrote AlphaBaby so they could safely use the Mac without inflicting too much damage! Every time a key is pressed or the mouse is clicked, a letter or shape is drawn. Sounds can be played every time something is drawn.

Your own sounds and pictures can also be used. AlphaBaby helps kids to learn letters, plus provides a safe environment for kids to have fun “typing” on the keyboard!

Both an application and screen saver version of AlphaBaby are provided.

What’s New:
Version 1.51:

• Universal Binary

Version 1.5:

• Images can be loaded from iPhoto albums
• New drawing mode which allows different images, lines, and shapes to be drawn on the screen
• New options to speak colors and match your own sounds to letters allow you to customize how letters are pronounced

It employs flocking algorithms to produce music and visuals. The user’s motions are captured by a video camera and influence the flocks behaviour. Each agent moving in a virtual 3D space controls a MIDI instrument whose playing style depends on the agent’s state. In this system, the user acts as a conductor influencing the flock’s musical activity. In addition to gestural interaction, the acoustic properties of the system can be modified on the fly by using an intuitive GUI. The acoustical and visual output of the system results from the combination of the flock’s and user’s behaviour. It therefore creates on the behavioural level a mixing of natural and artificial reality. The system has been designed to run an a variety of different computational configuration ranging from small laptops to exhibition scale installations.

What’s New:
Version 1.6: Adapted to larger screen. The agents can speak their own words. (additional voice resources required. You can download them from Flocking Messengers’ web site.
Version 1.5: A new function Flocking Messengers introduced in version 1.4 was improved so that you can ask the agents to say your words to persons at the remote side.

You don’t have to have an iSight to run Freak Show. Firewire DV cameras give great results. You can also use most webcams, and of course Freak Show works with iSight too.

Unlike Photo Booth, Freak Show does not require Quartz Extreme and is a universal binary so it can run on any Mac that runs Tiger. You’ll want to use a newer computer if you want smooth video. But even a vintage G4 can be used to capture still photos with Freak Show.

Highly recommended for kids and freaks.

What’s New:
Version 1.2:
Now saves pictures as JPEG rather than TIFF. Backlight option adds a little light for nighttime recording. Fixed crash on save bug.

You can enter an unlimited number of declarations, and they will be presented one at a time.

It will then compute which option is expected to give most happiness. You might think that you don’t need a program to make your choices, but research has shown that humans are surprisingly bad at picking the most logical choices. Useful or fun? You decide!
