Tangible Functional Programming
Google Tech Talks
November, 7 2007
ABSTRACT
We present a user-friendly approach to unifying program creation and execution, based on a notion of "tangible values" (TVs), which are visual and interactive manifestations of pure values, including functions. Programming happens by gestural composition of TVs. Our goal is to give end-users the ability to create parameterized, composable content without imposing the usual abstract and linguistic working style of programmers. We hope that such a system will put the essence of programming into the hands of many more people, and in particular people with artistic/visual creative style.
In realizing this vision, we develop algebras for visual presentation and for "deep" function application, where function and argument may both be nested within a structure of tuples, functions, etc. Composition gestures are translated into chains of combinators that act simultaneously on statically typed values and their visualizations.
Speaker: Conal Elliott
Most of my research is aimed at supporting the creation of interactive synthetic media content, including computer animation, human-computer interaction, images, 2D and 3D geometry, and programmable shaders. In all cases, I aim to preserve or improve on the flexibility and performance of mainstream programming approaches, while greatly simplifying the creation process.
Synthetic media programs are almost always implemented in sequential, imperative (often object-oriented) languages. My research explores use of declarative languages, resulting in much simpler and more reusable and composable programs. These languages are also more amenable to execution on parallel architectures such as modern graphics processors, because declarative languages abstract away from order of execution, removing the accidental sequentiality found in imperative programs. Even on sequential machines, declarative formulations have much simpler mathematical semantics, which facilitates automatic optimization. They also tend to be spatially and temporally continuous (resolution-independent), allowing them to adapt naturally to machines with different speeds and display resolutions.
After exploring explicit programming of synthetic media content for several years, I'm now also keenly interested in supporting artists. The goal of my new new research agenda is to give artists access to the expressive power of computers and programming languages, while retaining an artist's working style. I mean "artist" in a broad sense, in contrast to the verbal and sequential style of an engineer. (I don't mean to suggest that people fit neatly into these two categories.) My ideal audience includes graphic designers, musicians, and children -- really, the playful and curious in all of us.

Cincinnati Functional Fitness Session with Dustin Carter
I received a call from Scott Goodpaster, the Director of Cincinnati Functional Fitness, to produce a Video of him training one of the most inspiring young men. His name is Dustin Carter. Dustin is a Hillsboro High School Wrestler that has no legs or arms, yet he often wins wrestling tournaments and amazes people through his life. I want to thank Scott for giving my company, Landman Productions the honor of producing a video which will hopefully touch other people's lives when they view this. I know that Scott and Dustin have touched my life, that's for sure!

Alternative Health - Functional Medicine
Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth
When treating a patient we strive to provide more than just rapid relief of your immediate symptoms. We focus on your overall health examining nutritional, metabolic, immune, hormonal, structural, and any toxicological factors in which you may be involved. Through a personal and comprehensive examination, we try to get to the source of your condition enabling you to restore your health. We also look at emotional and psychological factors as these create the background which shapes every aspect of your health and well-being.
Most conditions whether it involves heart disease, fatigue, arthritis, cancer, headaches, chronic infections, allergies, elevated cholesterol, depression, anxiety, PMS, menopause, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. are manageable if the underlying causes are more fully understood. That doesn't mean we only use the latest fad or herb to cover up your symptoms. Rather, we apply scientific principles in a practical and logical way to solve your medical needs.
That means asking the right questions, careful listening, complete examinations of your physical and biochemical state and understanding how you function within your own environment. If necessary, select labs that identify your nutritional needs, allergies, hormonal status, metabolic efficiency, etc. can be performed. When it is all put together, a practical and personalized plan will be agreed upon that is designed to not only get rid of symptoms you don't have to live with but also create a healthier, happier, more vital you.

Laser Harp Fully Functional
http://www.stephenhobley.com/build
Now you can build your own laser harp:
http://www.stephenhobley.com/store
Finally got the bugs worked out with the sensor. The harp is driven by an Arduino (Boarduino varation) and connected to the impOSCar VSTi software synthesizer, the TAOS sensor array sits on the floor in it's own stand. The array above the harp i is just made up of fs mirrors for added p'zazz.
Complete plans, schematics and source code will be available soon on my website.
The harp does respond to hand distance from the sensor, but that can sometimes go awry - so I switched it off for the demo.

Leveraging Unit Tests As Functional Tests, Load Tests,...
Google Tech Talks
August 13, 2007
ABSTRACT
Frank Cohen, the leading authority on XML, Platforms, Applications and Database (XPAD) optimization will give a TechTalk at Google on the issues confronting software developers, QA technicians, and IT managers to rapidly surface and solve functional and performance problems in service environments.
Frank will demonstrate the new PushToTest TestMaker Version 5 open- source end-to-end service governance and test automation tool. Software developers use PushToTest to turn their unit tests into functional tests in a test automation platform that runs on their development machine. Frank will demonstrate PushToTest's Wizards and Recorders to automatically...

Matt Brindle's Functional Strength Training for Cyclists
Do you want to climb faster, sprint faster, time trial faster, for longer and with more comfort? Whether it's time trailing, sprinting or hill climbing, your ability to do these things is directly related to how well you are trained to put down the maximum amount of power to the pedals in the most efficient way. This is why producing power on the bike is so important to cyclists. Cycling is about dynamic functional movement, as with all sports. By recruiting the maximum amount of muscles to do a specific movement or task you will develop far more whole body power and stability while reducing your chance of injury than by using traditional muscle isolating strength training. Matt Brindle's Power-Up Functional Strength Training unleashes your full body power potential and will change the way you power train for cycling by using mobilises and strength training that is specific to cyclists.
This is the introduction to the DVD.
What do you get:
Introduction to Functional Strength Training
Explanation of the warm-up mobility exercises
Explanation of the strength programs
Warm-up mobility program with six exercise
Beginner program with six exercises
Iintermediate programs with six exercises each One advanced program with six exercise.
That's a total of 30 exercises!
"I recently purchased the Matt Brindle DVD from you. I have done the mobiliser exercises a couple of times and the begnner series once. Wow! What a workout. I was pretty sore the next day, but nothing too bad." Tyler, Port Angeles, WA, United States
