Man,
That took way too long. Finally got a few spare moments to get my new website up and running. Hopefully will be pushing out updates and blog posts regularly now since I am no longer ashamed of my own site. Funny how hard it is to do something for yourself, I guess that is a good sign though since I have been so busy.
Many updates coming soon, including a full post (and accompanying website) for Pennant, my MFA thesis project and the current main focus of my efforts.
Several other fun projects coming soon as well!
For now, check this out:

I was invited to work with Zach Lieberman,Takayuki Ito and Lucas Werthein as part of a team in the Techcrunch hackathon competition. It was an AWESOME event . Great food, great people and a lot of fun. Crazy nerd projects all over the place, really inspiring to see some of the projects that came out of it.
Our hack “Future Mario” won an award and we will be presenting it at the Techcrunch Disrupt event this coming week. Basically we are controlling Super Mario Bros using vocal pitch detection, eye tracking, head tracking and blink detection. Its a bit of a rough hack but its tons of fun and has a lot of potential.
Thats it for now its late and I’m spent, but I can finally rest knowing I can tell people my URL again
