There is this dude in this video that looks suspiciously like me. He’s going around taping informative labels on products in stores and bodegas. He should probably be turned over to the department that handled the Aqua Teen Boston incident. They’d know what to do. Blow him up? I don’t think it would go that [...]

Earthify!
I’ve been spending a lot more time at Eyebeam recently, in large part due to the lack of work space in my current sublet. I’m on the lower east side now, in a room with no windows, where getting up at 11am feels like getting up at 4am. But I don’t mind my less-than-ideal living [...]

As part of my masters thesis at Georgia Tech, I created a library for Processing called Switchboard .

Craigslist/Google Earth Mashup
Having just returned to the NYC from my extended sojourn in Atlanta, I am currently looking for a new place to call my own. For those of you who have never been subjected to the horrorshow of frustration and humiliation that is the NYC renters market, let me assure you that finding a decent place [...]

Introduction
First posts — always awkward, right? There’s so much to say, so little context. Best to just get it right out of the way and pretend like all of my non-existent readers have known me for years and are up to date with my goings-on? Or should we start from the beginning? Well, what do [...]
Make way for the Pipes
Last week, Yahoo announced a new service called Pipes, which is “a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment.” In the circles in which I operate, some said that this would be the biggest news of the year, despite the fact that most people who [...]
