So I had a good re-discovery this weekend: while rallying troops and supplies to go to IC's (GC's youngest) lacrosse game, I grabbed one of my latest issues of Make magazine off the back of the toilet. It apparently has become GC's favorite reading material during his evening "constitutionals." At least now I always know where to find it.
Anyway, back at the farm, as I was laying on my blanket in the sun leafing through the magazine during time outs, I found an article on Context Free. It is an IDE/Programming Language sort of thing for creating abstract generative art things that are just plain nifty.
I had completely forgotten about it. It is simple to get started using it so some years ago when I found it used to create desktop images for my computer with it. I suspected (and still do) that it was capable of some more sophisticated stuff but, alas, I never got that far.
I downloaded the latest version last night after I finished reading the article (Make 17). I'm hoping to use it to create one of my Variations for my Senior Show piece.
