I made an LED flashlight out of a chap stick, inspired by this instructable. I found a bright LED inside of this thing, and I smashed it to get the LED out.

Here’s a visualization of ITP-related twitter data, made with Gephi. It’s an open ord with lots of expansion and a low edge cut, colored according to modularity, with large text for betweenness centrality.

Ok2Dance accesses your computer’s microphone to record 20 seconds of audio. It saves the recording (temporarily) as a .wav file. Then […]
At the Music Visualization Hackathon, I collaborated with Michelle Chandra, Pam Liou and Ziv Schneider to create Kandinskify. You can check out the work in progress here. For inspiration, we looked to the history of music visualization. Ziv brought up Wassily Kandinsky, the Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky was fascinated by the relationship between music and color. He even developed a code […]
Luke DuBois introduced us to Paul Bourke, a researcher from Australia who shares an amazing online repository of math equations for geometry, textures, shapes and fractals. I tinkered with some of these equations through a JavaScript file in Max/MSP/Jitter. I created the shapes using little cubes at each point, one point at a time. You can […]

I’m building a collaborative discussion forum for Dynamic Web Development. This is also a project for Hacking Higher Ed where I’ve been researching the social conditions that facilitate learning, and what types of discussion forums might lead a community to adopt these social norms. These are the features I’m considering (though I will probably need […]
Input any word. My program will turn it into another word that has the same number of phonemes. Then it will find an example of that word in use via the Wordnik API. Then it will recursively run through four bit chunks, starting from the end, modifying the last word in each line using the […]
