Working on a project to visualize graffiti removal in Chicago. Just finished up getting the data in from the city. Not the final product by any means, but it’s nice to see the data getting parsed properly.
Showing off the MapBag on Maker Faire TV!
Harvey and I speaking at Club Workshop in Denver. Count how many times I say “Um”!

Hey everyone. I’m at the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend!
I’m showing off the Map Bag as part of the eTextiles Showcase. We’ll be showing of eTextiles projects on the stage in the Fiesta Hall on Saturday at 3 PM, and I’ll be giving a talk on Sunday at 12:30 on the Make Live stage.
Come by and say hi! If you’re hitting my site after talking with me at Maker Faire feel free to shoot me an email at joshbillions (at) mac (dot) com
I am taking custom orders for MapBags here at Maker Faire. If you’re interested, stop by and speak with me at entrance of the the Fiesta Hall.
Putting a few frames together to test…
Conversation Pool is a project I’m working on that listens to web traffic on a network and pulls out images as people browse. The images the analyzed using OpenCV and similar shapes, faces, and colors are picked out of each image. The Conversation Pool software assembles a collage in real time.
The software is nowhere near finished, but it’s analyzing properly, and it doesn’t crash every five minutes now! I’m working on the branching code right now to help create more dynamic compositions (it prefers the center of the screen a little much right now).
Posting something on the internet counts as a ghost of done, so here it is.
