Animation Node experiment - closed curve
For this animation I used a pyhton script node to generated 3D coordinates for a closed curve you can download the blend file here
Animation Node experiment - script node spiral
For this animation I used the python script node of the Animation-Node-Addon to create a list of coordinates for a bezier-curve.

particle driver experiment
for this experiment I used a driver expression to animate the particle emission speed

sound visualizer experiment 1
for this sound visualizer I created a python script that creates curves for 16 frequency bands of the sound file
The song can be heard in full length here
my script is based on the unbake f-curve script by liero

object traces
For this animation I used the bTrace-addon to create a curve from a set of particles. Then I wrote a small python script that copies the current state of the curve every 5 frames. I animated the visibility of the copies to make them appear only if the original curve has passed this position to create a 3D onion skinning like effect.

blender game of life
I implemented a game-of-life engine in python that generates blender animations
The generation of the blend file takes a while and they get quite big so I made the python script available at the end of the blog post instead of the blend file this time
9^3 cubes
The cubes and the animation keyframes were generated using a python script

blender labyrinth generator
I ported my labyrinth generator from processing to a blender python script

flying through the menger-sponge
This is a flight throught a level 4 Menger Sponge. I generated the fractal using a pyhton script.
The blend file is very big so I don't link it here directly. You can regenerate it very easy by opening a text-editor in blender and running the python script below the image.
Arduino based Office-WTF-Counter
As in any office, my co-workers and I experience several WTF-Situations during our working day. So we decided to implement a simple system to count the WTF's and use them as a metric for our working climate :-)
we use an "emergency stop"-Button which is connected to an arduino. This arduino sends the string "WTF" on the serial line a little python scrip writes them to a file, another processing app count's the lines in the file and offers the result via http, which is read by a processing app for visualisation ...
