Projects

A partial list of projects that I have worked on, I am working on, and I am thinking about.

Former:

MEng Thesis. A flexible high-density sensor network. Done with the Responsive Environments Group of the MIT Media Lab.
Tourbot. A robotic tour guide for MIT.
Facebook relational data privacy analysis. Email me for details. (Updated: Actually, read our paper online.)
Junction file transfer.
System administrator and sometime-developer for the Global System for Sustainable Development ( GSSD ).
Boy Scout Eagle project. I built a 12'x8' bird-watching observation deck 6' off the ground in a marsh for my Eagle Scout project at Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve. Hopefully, I'll find/take pictures and upload them as well.

The Giant While He Sleeps. Black and white photographs of Luke Urban while he's asleep. If you have any additional pictures, please contact me.
Minimally functional web sites.

Make your own plaid: A tool that allows a user to create his/her own styles and colors of plaids.
Build an ant farm into a computer monitor frame. (Maybe Dinsha's idea.)
Replace all incandescent light bulb displays in Las Vegas with LEDs.
Radio stations broadcast using very high power. You might be able to actuate some ultra-low power electronic circuits distributed in the nearby environment of a transmitter with this energy. You may also even be able to store it in a capacitor.
Write a children's story about ants that use their antenae for radio.
A funny thing: Donner Seuss. A picture of the Cat in the Hat with a leg sticking out of his mouth.
Lamp shades really use up a lot of energy. Their primary purpose is to diffuse light. Put on a power harvester to re-claim the energy that lamp shades use.
I wonder if what your handedness is influences the distribution of cavities in your mouth. For example, if you're left-handed are you more likely to have cavities on the right side of your mouth?
