Georgia O'keeffe

One of America's most important modern artists


 She revolutionized the tradition of flower painting in the 1920s by making large-format paintings of enlarged blossoms, presenting them close up as if seen through a magnifying lens.

Getting there!

Even it contains hard-coding (as you see) in some part, it looks fine, I think.

Things to do
- refresh canvas every frame
- how can it work for more than 3 points?
- how can I set points of mask? sort(leftmost or something) & connect points every frame

It was suddenly crashed during wrapper installation.

- I installed SimpleOpenNI on my mac last summer. It took some time to install all drivers but anyway it worked well. I've tried to install same version on my Windows laptop for perfect compatibility. Unfortunately, it never worked. For this project, I think mobility is a kind of key prospect. Thus, I decided to install new Kinect driver provided by Microsoft, which only works on Windows 7.
To sum up, I need some time to clean up my old Windows vista and install new version of Windows for the project.

- I remember that there might be some ongoing project with Jinsung. I'm going to continue the project in this class.

Tropical Fruits

image from wikipedia
Subtropics the geographical and climatical zone of the Earth immediately north and south of the tropical zone. A subtropical region should have at least eight months with a mean temperature of 10°C or above. The winters are relatively warm-mild, but not as hot as the summer season.

Korea While the world temperature is increased about 0.74°C on an average, temperature in Korea has been increased in 1.7°C. Winter is getting shorter and summer is getting longer. Besides, the area under apple cultivation goes higher, from Deagu to Paju. Korea receives a substantial amount of precipitation during the summer, from Jun through August, which is distinguished from the rainy spell, for recent 5 years. Regional torrential rains following the rainy spell have became similar to 'squall'. These mean that Korean climate is rapidly changed to subtropics.

Therefore, farmers start to cultivate tropical fruits in southern Korea. We expect that we can eat tropical fruits made in Korea. This experience must be happy, at first, but after few years, the result will be considerable in industries and environment.

Global Warming

The earth is getting warmer and warmer than ever. It is true that global warming is taking its toll on human beings everywhere. In some countries in Asia, floods and following landslides killed hundreds of people and spread infectious diseases. Many areas in European countries were also flooded and suffered wildfires. Unfortunately, it costs an astronomical amount money to restore damaged homes, buildings and other structures back to normal. Carbon dioxide that cars and plants emit is the main cause of global warming. Facing this environmental disaster, countries throughout the world are taking steps. The government encourages people to participate in car pooling or use public transportation. And renewable energy sources are replacing fossil fuels.
