Projects - hatched, unhatched and currently hatching ideas

  • 43 Showers
    I'm documenting all of the shower handles I come across in my travels, along with submissions from others.
  • 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 Larry Bird years old.
  • Ask Atlanta
    It's a simple experimental Twitter-based service connecting anyone who has a question having to do with the city of Atlanta and its environs with everyone willing to pitch in and answer. To receive the questions, just add @askatlanta on Twitter. If you want to send a question or answer, send a direct message to @askatlanta using "d askatlanta (and then message text)" and it will be broadcast out via the AskAtlanta username. It's brand new and doesn't have many followers yet.
  • 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.
  • Ruby School Dropout
    A blog I use(d) occasionally as I encounter problems while I work through learning Ruby on Rails.

Revision 1.5 - Icons were free deliveries from the Marseilles collection at Icon Buffet, design inspired by Mike Davidson's sentenc.es site.
