A plugin that allows the user to select SketchUp faces and export the oulines of these faces to a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file.
Developed to help with constructing designs for laser cutting.
SVG editor of choice is Inkscape. Now testing with Ponoko for online laser cutting.
See the Wiki for more information. Do you know about approximation in SketchUp, if not see this wiki page.

Of all the ideas I've nurtured through the hobby robotics side of Phenostream, the BuildPlate Processing Machine shines brightest and is the one that really ties everything together. A low-cost fabricator that produces aluminum structures from SketchUp models - very cool.
Supporting this nifty little machine is a SketchUp plug-in and a web-app. The PhenoStruct Plug-in (PSP) provides modeling support for BuildPlates and compatible components, output to the BPM, and a purchasing feature that works with the Modelers Market web-app.
The upshot of all this is that you can design everything from sculptures to suspension bridges, mini-bots to incredible machines, have the structural components (BuildPlates) instantly fabricated and what ever other things you need sent to you within 3 business days.

Live Query utilizes the power of jQuery selectors by binding events or firing callbacks for matched elements auto-magically, even after the page has been loaded and the DOM updated.
For example you could use the following code to bind a click event to all A tags, even any A tags you might add via AJAX.
$('a')
.livequery('click', function(event) {
alert('clicked');
return false;
});
Once you add new A tags to your document, Live Query will bind the click event and there is nothing else that needs to be called or done.
Live Query is tested in Safari 2 and WebKit Nightlies, Firefox 1.5 and 2, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 and Opera 9.
Live Query depends on jQuery 1.1.3 or higher.
DynaCloud is a jQuery plugin that generates tag or keyword clouds from text on web pages and highlights matching parts once a keyword is clicked.
Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player. From basic charts and graphs to complex interactive graphics, the toolkit supports data management, visual encoding, animation, and interaction techniques. Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel.
View the demos and sample applications to see a few of the visualizations that flare makes it easy to build.
i am sure that if ben fry and casey reas would start processing today they would use python instead of java. learning the short and efficient python is much easier than the statically typed and lengthy java. no compilation would be necessary anymore, tons of native libraries would be available via c-bindings, etc. nodebox is a nice example of the use of python for computational design. unfortunately it is restricted to os x.
today we are using python for all sorts of automated code generation in wuerzburg. one example is the conversion of fluid simulation data into x3d files for our coperion project. jan and sebastian are using this approach for their simulated cities of their master projects.
i started a short proof of concept of a python based processing. jython is an implementation of python in java. with its help it’s possible to write code with the processing api in python language.
code example (helloProcessing.py):
from processing.core import PApplet
class HelloProcessing(PApplet):
def setup(self):
global p
p = self
p.size(350, 350)
def draw(self):
p.fill(p.random(255))
p.rect(150, 150, 50, 50)
if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
import pawt
pawt.test(HelloProcessing())
1. just download and install jython:
http://www.jython.org/Project/download.html
2. put you processing libs into java classpath or modify the startup file (jython) in order to do so:
#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated by the Jython installer
# Created on Mon May 19 20:25:40 CEST 2008 by me
CP=”/Users/me/jython2.2.1/jython.jar:/Applications/Processing/lib/core.jar”
if [ ! -z "$CLASSPATH" ]
then
CP=$CP:$CLASSPATH
fi
“/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java” -Dpython.home=”/Users/me/jython2.2.1″ -classpath “$CP” org.python.util.jython “$@”
3. start the python file in your shell:
./jython helloProcessing.py
Download the files for this tutorial here.
First you need to install Jython from here.
Once you’ve completed downloading it you just need to double-click on the installer .jar. The installer will take you through the steps. You will need to select a destination directory for the install. It is important that you know the path to this folder. If you haven’t done this much before I recommend that on OS X that you install into your home directory (represented by the tilde character).

PyFacebook is a wrapper for the Facebook API.
Since there hasn't been a stable release yet, you need to get the source from Subversion on Google Code. Only one file is required, which you can download here (rename it to facebook.py). As of r70, Django and Pylons support have been pulled into separate modules. You will need to download the whole package and set it up somewhere on your path. See here for more information.
Two images will forever stay in my mind to mark this epoch-breaking election day. One is that of Jesse Jackson’s face, drenched in tears, in Chicago’s Grant Park on Tuesday evening.
And the other is a photo that ran in The Times on Wednesday. In it, a black mother and daughter sit on the floor of a church in Harlem. The mother, Latrice Barnes, having heard of Obama’s victory, is doubled up in tears; her daughter, Jasmine, is reaching a tentative hand up to soothe her. To me, she looks like the future, reaching out to heal the past.
