====== Publications from Oregon State University ======
Following are some examples of my writing for various projects. There are papers from classes, extracurricular activities, and some independent writing. All of this was done since I started college. Almost all of these pieces are in Adobe Acrobat format as PDFs.

{{projects:writing:PushingPixels.pdf|Pushing Pixels: Design of a Useful Web Site}} - This is my thesis. It is a book about the design of a web site from the beginning to the end. I used to work at the University Honors College at Oregon State University. It was my job to redesign and rebuild the UHC web site. I did a lot of research, a lot of experimentation, and a lot of work to get it to look and work the way it does. I used web standards as much as I could, I used CSS for presentation, I tested in a bunch of browsers. When it came to writing my thesis, this was a natural topic for me. I threw together this document in only 10 weeks, but I think it's a great resource, and still relevant 2 years later (which is a long time in the web world).

{{projects:writing:hightechfarming.pdf|High Tech Farming for High Yields}} {{projects:writing:hightechfarming2.pdf|Farm Technology: A Double Edged Scythe}}- Introduction to farm technology and its applications in the farming industry. A research paper written for my Information Security and Cryptography class, and formatted specifically for placement in a journal. It's only a paper for a class, so it's not researched or prepared nearly as much as a real journal article, but it was good practice.

{{projects:writing:InterfacingAHardDriveWhitePaper.pdf|Interfacing a Hard Drive with the FAT32 File System}} - White paper for my senior design project (see projects page). An introduction to the FAT32 file system at the lowest level. I actually had to write code to interface with a hard drive at the byte level. It was very difficult, and I learned FAT32 backwards and forwards.

{{projects:writing:Proposal for Sponsorship.pdf|Proposal for Sponsorship}} - A short proposal written to attract funding for our senior project (it worked).

Physics journal articles - {{projects:writing:PH211Paper.pdf|(1)}} {{projects:writing:PH212Paper.pdf|(2)}} {{projects:writing:PH213Paper.pdf|(3)}} - Three short journal articles for my physics classes written in the style of a journal article. This was during my freshman and sophomore years.

Ethics papers - {{projects:writing:ethics0.pdf|(0)}} {{projects:writing:ethics1.pdf|(1)}} {{projects:writing:ethics2.pdf|(2)}} {{projects:writing:ethics3.pdf|(3)}} {{projects:writing:ethics4.pdf|(4)}} {{projects:writing:ethics5.pdf|(5)}} {{projects:writing:ethics6.pdf|(6)}} {{projects:writing:ethics7.pdf|(7)}} {{projects:writing:ethics8.pdf|(8)}} {{projects:writing:ethics9.pdf|(9)}} I was in a class called ethics in computer science, and we had to write papers weekly. Here are some of the things I've written.

Toilet Tidbits archive - {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I01-(11-13-01).pdf|(1)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I02-(02-20-02).pdf|(2)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I03-(02-26-02).pdf|(3)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I04-(03-05-02).pdf|(4)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I05-(03-12-02).pdf|(5)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I06-(04-02-02).pdf|(6)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I07-(04-09-02).pdf|(7)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I08-(04-16-02).pdf|(8)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I09-(04-23-02).pdf|(9)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I10-(04-30-02).pdf|(10)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I11-(05-07-02).pdf|(11)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I12-(05-14-02).pdf|(12)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I13-(05-21-02).pdf|(13)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I14-(05-28-02).pdf|(14)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:V01-I15-(06-04-02).pdf|(15)}} {{projects:writing:toilettidbits:ToiletTidbitsGuide.pdf|(manual)}} - As President of my Residence Hall, I put out a weekly newsletter in the bathrooms of the hall. It actually had a readership of a few hundred, and was very well received. I learned a lot about weekly distribution and the readership, so the evolution of the paper is quite apparent.

{{projects:writing:HC199FinalPaper.pdf|Freshman writing research paper}} - Research paper on the company Digital:Convergence and their failing technology and business model.

The Chronicle--The Chronicle is the OSU Honors College triennial publication.  My job was laying out the entire magazine-a monumental time consuming effort. The links direct you to the Chronicle web site, designed and maintained by me. UHC Chronicle Web Page After three years of doing all the layout, I have resigned my post. I recently wrote an article for the Chronicle, which will be published soon.
