As everybody knows this week we learned about HTML and CSS codes for web design. Although I felt tempted on looking for a template, I decided to make an effort once again in my life and try to understand it better. So this is the result! And obviously I'll try to fix it every week.

To design my website I used Brackets Brackets with no template to follow. I proposed myself to do this, because although I had a little bit of expierence with this, I never have the chance to practice it. in order tu keep on learning HTML. I struggled a lot with my divs orrganization. I tried to improve my website every week.

For Chrome and Firefox users, to see take a look at my code you can right click over any of the pages of site and select "Ver código fuente de la página".

You'll see code looking like this.

The most difficult thing to understand for me by now was the GIT topic. Ferdi nicely explained us the "cooking recipe":

0. Have your Terminal window opened + a finder window too.

1. Terminal: Write "git pull" Command + Enter

2. Finder: Copy the files of your website (html + css)

3. Finder: Paste the files inside the folder given to you by your Fab Academy teacher.

4. Terminal: Write "git status". Terminal window will make a message appear wich should be the name of your files in red, telling you that you make a change in you official website student folder.

5. Terminal: Write "git commit -m "a mezzage" + Enter.

6. Terminal: Wirte "git status". A message in green should appear with the files successfully moved to your official website student folder.

7. Terminal: Write "git push"

-- This is the design of my Final Project Section that I'm still working on.

// About my final project:

Main Idea: MODULAR WEARABLE SYSTEM

My idea of final project is to develop a part of a project I started with some coleagues: the colombian composer Nicolás Villa and the chilean visual artist Andrés Costa.

The project we did before is called "[no dispositivo]" which was an artistic installation involving embodiment, coreography and some small robots. By that time we used a prototype we made of a wearable system that could measure: head, arms and torso movements of a dancer.

We realized we wanted to measure more movements and that we wanted to create a performance using this ideas of the extended body. The idea then, is to create a system in which the user can decide if using one, or two or up to 16 sensors in their body.

Goals:

- Program in an open source platform

- Design an ergonomic and minimal wearable that can fit to different bodies

- Minimize size

- Get rid of wires as possible

- Use radios to send data to computer

- Experiment with intelligent textiles

- Experiment with flexible PCB's.

- Create a manual to produce this wearable.

- Integrate a "localization" sensor to know where in XY the dancer is moving.
