Apologies to everyone who has been trying to surf nathanielstern.com over the last 5 hours – as you can see, there have been a lot<\/em> of changes around here! Don’t worry: all your old links and permalinks should still work, tho I do recommend updating\/changing them when you get a chance. Most exciting new things for me are the searchable blog (thank you wordpress<\/a>!) the RSS feed<\/a> off this blog (thanks to the same), and the neat flash movie on my main page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, obviously, a lot has happened over the past 6 weeks, between Cuba, the US and Dublin – so much so that I have forgotten all the blog entries I wrote in my head while traveling (bad nathaniel!). My excuse: having a great time, and working on the new design of this site in my spare time! Anyhow, I’ve decided to, rather than play catch up, post all the new things going on, and maybe just mention tidbits from my journey as they come up.<\/p>\n

Now you might ask, what’s the “stay over” (beyond the “make over”, per the title of this entry)?<\/p>\n

Well, above is a pic of South Africa’s own Daniel Hirschmann, giving a talk @ Wits’ Digital Soiree (yesterday). He was mainly showing us Glowbits<\/a>, his thesis project from ITP<\/a> – super cool and fun to play with physical pixels, that change color when you move them in and out on a grid. The neatest part is that they can be networked, and you can draw and send images to your friends’ Glowbit modules (they all have motors built in)!<\/p>\n

That’s all for now – I only got back 3 days ago, so I have heaps to do. Perhaps I’ll be seeing some of you at Zingi Mkefa’s birthday shindig at gallery momo<\/a> tonight?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
