Brand Development for TESS
My latest project: developing the brand identity and website for The Exchange Students Service (TESS). Here’s a sneak peek!
The Noises of Venice
The goal of this project was to create a system for citizens to report noise problems in the historically quiet city of Venice, thus enabling government officials to identify key issues and laying the foundations for a new era of digital citizenship. We created a smartphone application that records and uploads noise samples to our website at VeniceNoise.org, which then analyzes and interactively displays each sample. In the process of developing the application and website, we created a new and highly efficient means of data collection that will streamline future field research. After verifying the accuracy of these tools with ARPAV, we investigated a large area of Venice by collecting over 1,000 recordings. These recordings created a greater understanding of the noise situation in Venice.

Well, that’s one website I’ll never have to visit again…
An excerpt from my Physics capstone paper…
…are consequently much more likely to occur at fault lines. What isn’t so clear is the “when” of earthquakes. Is there a way we could build a better model of seismic activity to create more accurate predictions of the occurrence of earthquakes? One approach is to look at forces that move the Earth’s crust enough to potentially trigger the sudden release of energy. This paper explores the possibility that tidal forces, from either the Sun or the Moon, serve as a catalyst for large-scale earthquakes.
Tidal forces already have an observable effect on Earth’s oceans. Every day, the tide goes in and out, but how do we explain this? Figure 1 shows the differential force…
Dial Up Sound Going Viral
My website, dialupsound.com, is apparently going viral right now on Facebook – 5,000 hits so far today, and counting!
Safe Voices Emergency Button
I’ve added an awesome new feature for Safe Voices. There was an incident where a person visited the website and hit the emergency button to leave, but the abuser could just hit the back button. Now, the emergency button brings you to a random news article from today and temporarily prevents you from accessing the site (by redirecting to more random news articles). Try it out!
Pacman Made Easy
The latest addition to my website! Pacman with no ghosts!
Bookmarklet for Keep Refreshing
You already knew my website keeprefreshing.com is awesome, so how did I make it even better? With a bookmarklet! Keep refreshing any website with a single click.
Introducing Keep Refreshing
My newest website! If you’ve ever found yourself refreshing a website over and over again (waiting for an update), use this instead.
Introducing Dial Up Sound
Look what I made! Dial Up Sound lets you relive the excitement of connecting to the internet with a 56k modem.
I recorded the sound back when I still had AOL (Oct 1, 2004 to be exact) from whatever modem was in my HP laptop. This is a website 7 years in the making.
