I went for a long hike sometime last fall, and took a bunch of photos but never bothered posting them. Well, here they are in all of their glory.

Whirlwind of Hacking
27Feb05Wow. At about 3:00 this afternoon, I had an idea for a dynamic html pdf viewer that you could use to annotate pdfs and share those annotations online. Well, I got curious enough that I started hacking on it. And surprisingly, 12 hours, 1 pot of chili, 1 viewing of “Breaking Away”, [...]
Up to
25Feb05I spent today hacking on one of my “research” projects. It’s a simple cellular automata game for children that we are going to try and use to understand more about how a shared tabletop display affects problem solving. So far the project has been pretty easy on my brain–it’s “mere implementation” after all–but [...]
Errands of Love
21Feb05I had a wonderful weekend. Niamh came out to visit late late Wednesday night, and stayed all the way until Sunday morning. She had kind of a miserable drive home, and I’ve been pretty busy since she left, but it was so nice to see her. It was long enough that when [...]

Gates: If everything runs under the same platform, however, you can better concentrate resources and more quickly repair errors. For instance, in a hospital where different [...]
My Woman

Three Song Singers
05Feb05After a fairly productive week, I spent last night and today in bed downloading music. I’ve come across a lot of crap, but as always a few gems shine on through:
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary MachineI’ve been a fan of Fiona Apple for a long time. I’m generally a fan of women vocalists who [...]
