There are a few new members of the Making Things Move team coming on board in this last month before submission. Sam Galison came by Eyebeam for the first time yesterday and will be helping out on a bunch of projects and examples, the first being the Rube Goldberg machine for chapter 1. He’s currently a student at NYU and did an independent study based on my class this past semester. He’s already learned to use the laser cutter and a Dremel and is working out some egg cracking magic as I write. Next up is one of Eyebeam’s student residents, Jade Highleyman, who will be helping on an example for chapter 8 called the agreeable sheep. Finally, next week Stina Marie Hasse Jorgensen, currently a student at Columbia Computer Music Center, will be joining the team a few days a week to work through some of the more technical examples. With all this help I feel a lot better about being ready for the book & bribe party and hitting my final deadline!
