The AIM Project

This little gem was a favorite online, having been featured on CollegeHumor.com, and has received more than 16,000 visits since it went live. You know those little yellow faces (a.k.a. emoticons) in AOL Instant Messenger? Yea, well I was bored one weekend and took pictures of myself in all those faces, so they could be used in AIM. My roommate thought I was crazy, but hey, maybe he was right. Go to "The AIM Project" »

How to be Cool

On the same weekend that I created the AIM Project, I put together a 10 Step guide to being cool. Now, for those who aren't aware, this is supposed to be satire. Biting, biting satire! Go to "How to be Cool" »

Gravitation

When I was working at Eagle Entertainment I was trying to create special mouse effects in Director/Shockwave movies, such that objects would trail behind the mouse as the mouse moved. While playing around with some code, I tried using gravitational physics. The code was so cool I implemented it as a planetary system and what looks like a molecule (even though it doesn't work like one). I've tested the planetary system for over 36 hours and the system remained stable and in tact. I'm glad that I actually could use those equations after all :)

Cannon Barrage

Cannon Barrage was completed as a midterm project for Interactive Digital Media, a course I took while attending my freshman year at RIT. The project was to complete a game, complete with user interface, help facilities, and complete gameplay. The Shockwave program uses basic physics equations to compute the trajectory of the cannon ball, and various algorithms to control the mouse movement of the cannon barrel.

AT&T & Telecommunications

As a final project for my Interactive Digital Media course at RIT, we had to design and implement a large project with an introduction movie, and multiple levels of content. Curious about the Public Telephone System, I decided to do a research project on the American telecommunications industry and AT&T, which in many important ways forged the path that led to today's national infrastructure.

Hamming Code

The Hamming Code is an error detection and correction encoding scheme used on networks to account for single bit transmission errors. This Shockwave program successfully reverse-engineers the encoding scheme.

ShapeColorer

This nifty little app sprung out of a lab I did in my Interactive Digital Media course while at RIT. I worked on the interface a bit to make it look better, and made some UI adjustments, and it turns out that it is a great little tool when you need to pick a quick color scheme for a Web page (and yes that's a shameless plug to use this app as often as you want ;)
