Processing.js is an open programming language for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions for the web without using Flash or Java applets. Processing.js uses Javascript to draw shapes and manipulate images on the HTML5 Canvas element. The code is light-weight, simple to learn and makes an ideal tool for visualizing data, creating user-interfaces and developing web-based games.

- Jan 26Mind Hacks: Little men and their discontinuities
Firstly, the four areas mentioned in the title of the paper are the four with the largest representational resources dedicated to them. Surely it is not coincidence that the four areas where the map continuity is broken are the four most important areas? Secondly, the standard diagram shows the cortical map as being, effectively, 1 dimensional (ie an ordered scale of areas). Is there a reason for this (perhaps due to the four aforementioned regions requiring so much representation that they require the whole width of somatosensory cortex, preventing proper 2 dimensional representation of the body)? When mapping a 3D body to a 1D map discontinuities would have to occur, wouldn't they? So the existence of discontinuities itself isn't at all surprising, but the self-organisation of representational maps suggests why they are where they are.
- Jan 26IxEdit
To implement interactions on a web page, programming with JavaScript is needed. However, it is hard to manage JavaScript for many designers. Therefore, making well-designed web interactions is difficult in general. IxEdit solves this problem. If you have basic knowledge about HTML and CSS, you can create interactions as you like. JavaScript coding is no longer needed.

- Jan 26Persuasive 2010 - Copenhagen
Persuasive Technology is a young and vibrant research field, focusing on how interactive technologies may be used to create, maintain, or change human thought and behavior. Combining well-established research methods and traditions from epistemology, rhetoric, social psychology, communication, and information science with cutting-edge technologies brings about a special flavor characteristic of the Persuasive Technology conferences.

- Jan 26The CEPHAD Bibliography on the philosophy of design
The sectioning gives you a sense of the historical development of the field, and allows you to start your search for literature with the most recent items. Newcomers to the field should note, however, that early literature may be highly relevant; e.g., the books by Schön (1983) and Simon (1969/1996) are frequently cited even today.

Interests develop around both philosophy of science and technology, with special recent interests in imaging technologies. In addition, work on intercultutral perception and plural cultural patterns form part of the research interest.
- Jan 26Peter-Paul Verbeek
Verbeeks research focuses on the social and cultural roles of technology and the ethical and anthropological aspects of human-technology relations. He recently published the book What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design (Penn State University Press, 2005), in which he elaborates an analysis of how technologies mediate human actions and experiences, with applications to industrial design.
- Jan 26Design for Usability project
The goal of this project is to reduce usability problems with electronic products by developing and offering companies a coherent design methodology to anticipate expectations and needs of users on the one hand, and product influences on use practices on the other.

- Jan 26TU Delft - Research project "The Dual nature of Artefacts"
It is a fundamental problem exactly how the intentional and the physical conceptualization are related. If functions are seen primarily as ‘added to’ the physical substrate, or as realized in physical objects, then the question remains how these functions are related to the mental states of human individuals -which, after all, form the core of the intentional conceptualization. If functions are seen primarily as patterns of mental states, on the other hand, and exist, so to speak, in the heads of the designers and users of artifacts only, then it becomes somewhat mysterious how a function relates to the physical substrate in a particular artifact. Given this state of affairs, the general aim of the research program is to develop a coherent conceptual framework for describing technical artifacts, which takes due account of their dual nature.
