Javascript to AS3 – Blobby blobby
Ever since I saw Jeff Han’s lava lamp multitouch demo, I’ve been interested in ‘blobs’ or ‘meta-balls’. There’s a great new HTML5/javascript demo of interacting with blobs (moving, splitting, merging, etc) http://hakim.se/experiments/html5/blob/03/.

Surround Cinema featuring Recombinant Media Labs
I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time, but finally found the right time.
In June/July, I helped work on a combined project with University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and Recombinant Media Labs (RML).

Here’s a glimpse of some of my past work. I’d love to hear what you think!
These include: pen and ink and pencil drawings, illustrator and photoshop work, logo and magazine design and some other random manipulations.
Check out some of the dates on these; I feel old.
So? What’s your thoughts?
