Car Accident + Paint = Instant Art Car

Just found a great way to make an art car on the way to your next event. Get yourself a few five gallon buckets of paint and take the lids off. Get in your car and then find a way to get in car wreck and PRESTO!!!! the entire inside of the car will be covered in paint in no time. Not very efficient and cost effective in the long run but it does get the job done:)These pictures were taken by Allan

Mangled Madness Rally Car - The Duck By Jaryn part 2

In the last installment of a StreetSafari ArtCar we showed you the Citroen 1CV. We even left a cliff hanger!

Call for developers

I watched an interesting video recently on TED. It’s a talk by Salman Khan of Khan Academy “Let’s use video to reinvent education”. The talk was very impressive. It reminded me off some of the work I have done on the related space. Back in my college days, me and couple of other friends along with a research scholar “Yaser Nouh” worked on an “Intelligent Tutoring System” (based on Bayesian model). Bayesian Cognitive model was proposed and we implemented a working prototype of it. But, we never implemented it as a product. “Something can be called me as an initiative only if its completed”. Hence, calling for interested developers to take this forward. If anyone is interested in implementing the paper and productize it, do pass a comment in this post. I will be happy to help. Some of our work can be found here and here.
