Building a picture frame -- The “junk”-top revival

Designed by: ivan

Recently I had a chance to work on a software prototype for picture frame device presented during WinHEC 2004 in Seattle. If you were at WinHEC you probably have seen it. It was cool device with exceptionally bright screen. I had the picture frame in my office for couple of days, but like anybody else in the world I wanted to play with the device for a little longer.

While I was working on the software I had many conversations about the picture frame device with everyone who came in and saw it. People wanted to have such a device immediately and they were trying to figure out a way to get one. There were many ideas how to build a picture frame using "off-the-shelve" modules. This article describes the process how to build one out of an old laptop.

I would like to thank jeffsand for helping me to put together this article in Wiki. In fact it did take me longer to describe how I build the picture frame device than to actually build it. I have to admit it was quite fun to see it coming together and here is the finished product.

The Revival plays with the functions of language and text. Without specifying who he is preaching to, what he is preaching about, or even his own point of origin, Pendleton charts a dynamic journey through language and sound that leaves the audience uplifted and asking for more.

The Revival draws on. Mesmerising without being meaningful, The Revival wallows in the investments made in language ?? its purpose that comes from the people that use it, its authority from the fact of being used. Pendleton weaves together different modes of address to deliver a virtuoso demonstration of language?? ( Psychology Dissertation and Sociology Dissertation )
