  • moar Fusion!

    Fusion Tables is neat. Google describes it as ‘an experimental data visualization web application to gather, visualize, and share larger data tables’. Last year I tried out their API which was mostly based on sending SQL statements to create and manipulate tables. Recently, I looked at Fusion Tables again as part of an imminent upgrade […]

  • (binary) C10CK app in App Store!

    My second (personal) iPhone app, C10CK, is now available in the App Store. It is a clock which displays time using binary notation – the same way everything is (eventually) stored in a digital computer. I’ve been using a binary clock since a staff member of ITP passed this past year and several alumni recalled […]

  • Compiling tesseract v3 for iPhone

    Update 2: Before using the script, ensure that you can build tesseract for your host system normally. Also, I only tested the script with the v3 release of tesseract, not svn HEAD. If you get build errors, please try with rev 498. Update: The script has been updated, thanks mostly to the prompting of fopen2003 […]

  • Mobile Logger progress

    I’ve been working sporadically on the app, trying to get the next release out the door. Currently, the last feature holding up release is the post log upload…there are intermittent timeouts occurring and I’d like to determine if there is a lightweight way to mitigate them. This upcoming release will likely change the “real-time” uploading […]

  • Mobile Logger – GPX extensions

    Rolling the extra logged sensor data into the GPX export took more effort that it should have…but I uncovered and fixed a latent bug in the export feature, so that’s a win right? Regardless, it’s was nice to use the new issue tracker at bugs.robertcarlsen.net for real(z) for the first time. I’m looking to get several […]

  • Mobile Logger GPX + GoogleEarth

    GPX export seems to be working, and imports fine into Google Earth. This is just a basic implementation of the essentials for a route; I’d really like to include other recorded sensors somehow into the track – maybe it could be a layer in Google Earth? Looking at the ride data here reveals just how […]

  • Mobile Logger – GPX

    Basic GPX export has been added to the github repo. That is all. http://github.com/rcarlsen/Mobile-Logger/commit/9e1dc73304de562c30e64fa9a9b61840e69963c3

  • Gone global (again)

    Thanks to a (very flattering) mention of my thesis project on Gizmodo after the ITP Spring Show, the use of Mobile Logger has quadrupled in the past two days. I had been watching the number of unique users rise on the Dashboard page, currently near 800…but then wondered what that would look like animated over […]

  • Riding Through Mountains (of Data)

    (Here is the documentation for my thesis project at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. PDF version here.) Riding through Mountains of Data: Visualizations of Cycling Robert Carlsen Interactive Telecommunications Program Tisch School of the Arts New York University Abstract This project attempts to describe the cycling experiences of several riders in New York City through a […]

  • Mobile Logger has gone global

    The Mobile Logger application has been public for a couple of weeks and has (surprisingly, to me) been used in every continent, save Antarctica. I first noticed several events in the database from Australia, then the UK. I was mostly catching these events by coincidence when I was looking over my own data and wondered […]
