For documentation purposes, I should add that the purpose of the Programming Imagination Jam was to imagine how we would program the things we mocked up in the Imagination Jam. How would we use such a system that allowed us to program these physical/digital things?

We decided for our writeup to the programming imagination jam that we would each document our own project. Here's mine!---For the programming jam, I mocked up a video editor using the video coasters I had previously made.
As before, you tap each coaster which plays the video on the large piece of posterboard.The music is reified in a "browser tab" which is playing a youtube video:The "music" token is a scrubber that when moved along an axis changes the position of the audio. I imagine I would be using this interface two-handed (tapping and scrubbing) like so:Responding to the issue of how I program all 110 coasters, I thought maybe the box I was using to store them could also "bless" the coasters with a behavior when a coaster was taken out of it:
I also used a tape roll for volume adjustment, with the code on the bottom.When rotated, the volume of the main video player changes. I don't know if "last thing I touched" is an interesting primitive or not.
It seemed important that this stuff was made out of random objects I had lying around.
It also seemed important that I be able to find and test out different music. This component could be an ipad-like interface to my personal music collection that I could choose from and try songs out:Or I could make a blank piece of paper into a browser tab with the GOOGLE TOOL and a keyboard for searching and finding youtube videos of music:
