I can't think of anything to write here. Maybe someday I will come up with a real zinger.

About Me

Portfolio

• art of play | symposium and arcade

  Games are now generally acknowledged as culturally significant, comparable with film or television in their economic strength if not their public mindshare. But can they be art?

• CMU School of Art Website

  The School of Art was looking to update the code under the hood of their existing website. Porting the content and design of the previous site, I rewrote their CMS with Rails and fixed up their old, broken markup into standards-based CSS and HTML.

• Goodbye, Blue Monday

  I host a radio show on Mondays from 4 to 5.5 on 88.3 WRCT Pittsburgh.

  Each week features a split set of two different musical genres, like pedantic ambient post-rock, acid jazz, or low-fi indie instrumental. Yeah, good stuff.

• Atlas

  Atlas is a collection of essays and argument maps—hence, “Atlas”—that survey moral philosophy in the modern period (c. 1550-1850). This is a culmination of a class project for Professor Andy Norman’s course at Carnegie Mellon in Fall 2007.

• rfidge

  rfidge provides a glimpse into the dual nature of future RFID ubiquity. On one hand, rfidge knows what's inside of it at all times, and provides a way of visualizing that information in a totally new way. This generative techno music based on the contents of rfidge illustrates the flip side of this coin in how potentially annoying it can become.

• etb Gallery

  The Electronic Time-Based Art (ETB) area in the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon explores emerging and new forms of art that require temporal or technological engagement to experience them. Classes in the ETB area incorporate learning the technical skills for production along with historical and theoretical underpinnings of the practice.

• flolcatr

  flolcatr is a site that generatively creates lolcats using über-complicated algorithms and a crack team of a few dozen kindergarteners.

• Lorem Ipscream

  Lorem Ipscream is a parlor of tasty generative information. Much more than plain-old Vanilla Loripsum text, Lorem Ipscream will delight you with flavors from Emo song lyrics to completely synthesized identities.

• Nephi.la

  Nephila is an open source web framework that takes the effort out of showing off and managing your digital media and source code. Educators like it because it gives them the flexibility to teach their courses the way they want to. Artists like it because it finally solves that problem of figuring out how to maintain their portfolio and share their work with the world.

• Soundbytes

  Soundbytes is Carnegie Mellon University's premiere co-ed a cappella group. I've been singing with them as a bass and a soloist for a few years now.

  Incidentally, I also made their website, which I guess is to be expected...

• SynchronizedSwimming

  A circuit-bending art piece with an array of 4 singing animatronic fish.

  Featured in Flux No. 9, an art show in April of 2007.
