…geospatial hypermedia as the foundation for a new kind of computing: wearable, context-aware, sentient landscapes with embedded sensors and beacons.
While I was in college I spent the summers taking random classes at various colleges and universities, which is how I stumbled upon Geographical Information Systems (GIS). I took quite a fancy to GIS and [...]

We got dressed up today and wandered around outside taking pictures to send to my mom and grandma to calm them down… this is what we were wearing when we got married. And I promise I won’t turn this blog into some newlywed shit. Huzzah.
The word is starting to creep out, so just to confirm… yes, I did get married. And apologies to everyone I didn’t tell, but it was a secret until it happened… even my mom didn’t know.
I arrived in New York City on the 26th to participate in the festive protests of the Republican National Convention. I’m also trying to get the word out about rnc mobnet, but I don’t know how to approach PR in an effective manner. There is another site that is doing pretty much the [...]
I woke up at 4am after falling asleep on the futon post-agadashi tofu, and spent 11 or so hours playing with *things* on the computer (most importantly xslt rocks!); when you dissolve into states such as the one I just mentioned, there is no way in hell you can tear yourself away from the computer [...]
On the way up to my brother’s graduation last year, my mom and I stopped by a friend of hers in New Jersey, who happens to live in the greatest old farmhouse ever. By lucky coincidence, or because no one else wanted to sleep up there, I got the attic. These pictures don’t [...]
You’re going to see a lot of random things popping up as I go through my archives. Just a warning…
Hedy Lamarr is my hero. Along with George Antheil she invented the first version of frequency hopping that proposed the use of a piano roll to change between 88 frequencies and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam. The idea was proposed to the Navy, though ultimately [...]
I’ve been going through the pictures I took in Michigan and prepping them for the web (which has turned out to be rather difficult), and wanted to post this picture of my Grandmother and her great grandson Brady. I was going to write more, but the picture took over.
What window managers do people prefer? I’m using kdm right now (my lombard died, so I’m running debian unstable on a cute little powerbook)…

First, we went warspying.
Then we played 9-ball at a college dive (which made me very glad I’m not in college anymore).
And then we made a snowthing and molested it.
From O’Reilly’s Ethernet: The Definitive Guide, “The ISO developed the OSI reference model to provide a common organizational scheme for network standardization efforts (with perhaps an additional goal of keeping us all confused with reversible acronyms).”
I left North Carolina Tuesday afternoon amidst a light snow storm. I usually fly American, but this time I was flying Delta because none of the American flights had the right combination of airplanes. At RDU American also has its own terminal (terminal C) dedicated to the entire airline, no sharesies. Terminal [...]
I’m sure someone has already appropriated the Dolce and Gabbana logo + print ads (one in particular that I’m thinking of that has the D&G logo and then D&G themselves standing next to the logo) and altered them to Deleuze and Guattari, no? I’m being really lazy on my web searching…
I don’t remember everything, but here is what I do remember:
I dreamed that I tried to kill somebody, or something. Stabbing. In the head and between the shoulder blades. I think I got stabbed in the head too. But then I realised that my reason for killing would only make everything [...]
Now that I have Debian unstable running beautifully on my g3 laptop I figured it was time to resuscitate the ipod. A couple months back the battery just stopped holding any kind of sloppy charge, rendering the device rather useless. I bought azarashi (the name of my ipod, and will be referred to [...]
