We will be one of 6 teams to compete in the world finals in Paris, France later this summer. Here is the abstract that we submitted with our prototype: Continue »
For the past two months, I’ve been working to overhaul the look and contents of this site. I was getting bored with the generic WordPress theme, so I decided to create my own style from scratch. This turned out to be a lot more work than I expected, but I am pleased with the results.

After a recent and lively philosophical discussion with colleague Will Odom, I realized the need to start recording my thoughts and experiences for further reflection before they dissipate into the cognitive abyss. I will be writing about whatever topics seem intriguing and important, the likely suspects being technology, design, and sustainability.
