Here is a video of something I put together not too long ago. It’s me using a laser pointer to control a mouse on my projector. I have a projector that I hooked up to my computer. I also hooked up a webcam and wrote some software that analyzes the camera image to pick out…

Back from Georgia
I’m back from my trip to Georgia. It was a whirlwind two weeks, and unfortunately I only had a few hours to play. The work we were doing was important, and was exactly what I expected, which is why it was so cool. Getting there was a pain because of a storm in Atlanta that…
Goin’ Down to Georgia
I finally got my tickets today. I leave for Georgia on Sunday for work, and I’ll be there two weeks. It’s really late notice because we’ve only just received the money, and couldn’t make travel plans without the money for the project. I’m excited about this trip. The purpose is to work with the Air…
Mmmmm. Sushi.
Last week I went to a new place called Sushiya with some friends. They had some pretty tasty sushi, and I felt inspired. This weekend I created some masterpieces at home. While I really love raw fish, it’s not easy to acquire and I don’t think I’m capable of handling it safely enough to not…
Mt. Rainier Again
This weekend we went back to Mt. Rainier, but this time we went to the other side of the mountain to explore. Six of us (Me, Nick, Carolyn, and the interns Susie, Teandra, and Ben), left early Saturday morning and drove first to the White River Campground to claim a spot, and then to Sunrise,…
My Poor Phone
My first cell phone ever has become terminally ill. I’ve had it for a few weeks more than three years. It’s been a good phone; it has gone for thousands of miles and minutes, been in my pocket everywhere I go, gotten me out of tough spots, and served me well. Yesterday it went on…
Mt. Rainier
Last weekend I went camping with some friends up at Mt. Rainier. We started early on Saturday morning, meeting at WinCo to consolidate into my car and a truck. The drive up was cramped but uneventful. When we got to our campsite (Ohanapecosh is the name of the site, which is a few miles away…
Europe Trip
It’s been a little over a week since I’ve returned from Europe, and I’m finally catching up enough to write about the trip. The truth is that I wrote the whole time I was there, but it’s hard to condense 40 pages on paper into a few paragraphs in a blog. So without further ado,…
Going to Europe
On Saturday, June 2, I leave Portland for France. I’ll arrive in Paris and take the TGV (bullet train) down to Montpellier, in the very South of France. There I’ll meet my sister Betsy, who has been studying art for the past year at the university. She’s done with her year, so she and I…
Sick This Week
I was sick this week. It happened right after I returned from Orlando. It ruined my Memorial Day weekend. While it was beautiful outside and the three day weekend beckoned, I was inside blowing and coughing and suffering miserably. I couldn’t think well enough to get anything done, so I succumbed to watching movies and…
