Shangri-La Revisited: Tibetan Perspectives On Non-Violence
This was my undergraduate thesis project for a B.A. in Religion at Columbia College of Columbia University. In the summer between my junior and senior years at Columbia, I spent a month shooting video in Dharamsala, India, seat of the Tibetan Government and home to many exiled Tibetans. I interviewed Tibetans who had fled their homeland, officers in the Tibetan-Government-In-Exile, and was honored to have a 20 minute private audience with His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
How Old Are You?
An easy/dumb project that tells you your age in terms of a professional athlete who has it as a uniform number. For example, I am Curt Schilling years old.
Sympathy For The Hashtagger
It's no secret in the Twitter world that I think for whatever value they may bring, hashtags (#thesethings) are ugly and obtrusive. We built this site to showcase tweets that express both sides of that ambivalence -- that apologize for using a hashtag even while they use one in the very same tweet.
Hate-a-base
A place to put your hate, where it can do some good. This was built in 24 hours by my friends Gregg and Josh for Rails Day 2006, but we haven't done much with it since.
