Erich Zainziger does consultancy, training and design of interactive fashion, e-textiles and wearable electronic. He’s also a blogger behind talk2myShirt dedicated to smart fabrics and wearable technology.
Because of his previous experience with Philips Company I wanted to interview him from the moment when I decided to cover the fields of wearables… Erich lives and works now in Philippines and runs his own wear tech company Elextile… Hence, let’s hear his thoughts on the wear tech scene…

It’s time to introduce the biggest and the most significant star on the free software sky, the open source operating system GNU / Linux.
All documentaries include historical development of Linux and Free Software Foundation, with stories from the perspectives of the initiators and programmers Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds.

Arduino microprocessors could be programmed and used not only with a synonymous software, but with Pd – Pure Data and Max/Msp programs for graphical interface in audio & multimedia processing and interactive music usage.
Hence, I’ve decided to include in Readoholic few electronic books (and tutorials) about Pd – Pure Data, which is an open source project created and programmed by Miller Puckette (author of Max, too).
Working flow in Pd – Pure Data
