] Hi, I'm Kelly, and this is my scream-body. Do you ever
] find yourself in a situation where you really have to
] scream, but you can't? Because you're at work, or you're
] in a classroom, or you're watching your children, or you
] are in any number of situations where it's just not
] permitted? Well, scream-body is a portable space for
] screaming. When the user screams into the scream-body
] their scream is silenced...but is also recorded, for
] later release where, when and how the user chooses."

] Now you laugh, which is great, but
] think about it: she designed a circuit board, she
] designed in a micro-controller, she programmed the
] micro-controller, she made the board herself, she
] developed PA-resistive squeeze sensors to control it,
] advanced engineering phones. You know, in a normal
] company there would be a team of engineers (a normal
] company wouldn't even do this anyway), and for her it's
] not product development, it's really kind of post-digital
] literacy, it's just mastering the means of expression.
] Design increasingly really can, and does, mean designers
] are crossing all these levels of description.

A really interesting article that goes from what to do with net connected microcontrollers to the idea of programming as basic literacy. Also happens to have the most annoying web page background I have ever seen in my life.
