A breadcrumb trail of project notes
I’ve done a lot of research and have started down a few different paths that could become the focus of my thesis or basis for future work. I wrote down the different areas/topics that I’m interested in on a bunch of postit notes and stuck them to the wall. They fall under the [...]
Read More..>>I gave a presentation this week on DNA computing to the ITP Artificial Intelligence and Biologically Inspired Computing discussion group.
DNA computing is fascinating to me since it offers the potential of massive parallelization (trillions of copies in a drop of water), use of DNA as input and output, and tiny power consumption. The basic [...]
Dare to compare this Flash animation of RNA translation into protein with the 1970s interpretation I posted earlier this week.
Read More..>>The brilliant (and twisted) Real Ben Brown sent me this fantastic video of a dance interpretation of protein synthesis carried out with hundreds of students on a football field in 1971. It’s narrated by Nobel laureate Paul Berg and check out that sound track! All kinds of awesome.
Read More..>>This semester I’m primarily focusing on my thesis (webpage coming soon). I have Jonah Brucker-Cohen as my advisor, and a fantastic class of people for the weekly critiques. My other class is called Mechanisms and Things and is taught by Dustyn Roberts of Honeybee Robotics and Habana Labs. Awesome that [...]
Read More..>>4 projects in the ITP Winter Show this Sunday (2-6pm) and Monday (5-9pm). If you’re in NYC come check out the show. Lots of great projects!
They are:
CabTrails – The movements of a Yellow Cab in San Francisco over several days is visualized in using data from cabspotting.org

The ITP Winter Show 2006 is happening December 17/18 at NYU. As usual the show will be utter insanity and crammed to the gills with great projects. I have several projects in the show. More info soon!
Read More..>>Follow along as I explore the intersection of biology, electronics, engineering and art. I’m upwards of 180 links and counting. This post will always show the 15 most recent links. Please suggest anything you think is relevant! My interest is getting a little scattered into genetic engineering and nanotechnology, but I’m [...]
Read More..>>ITP students are a rather eager bunch. Not content with just taking classes, the actually teach other classes/workshops called DriveBys as well. Normally they are on Thursday nights, but there is such an excess of keen that they happen on Monday nights now as well.
This Monday, November 12 at 9:15pm at ITP, Nick [...]
Yesterday my Assistive Technology class visited the Adaptive Design Association in midtown Manhattan. Adaptive Design creates custom equipment for children with disabilities so they can more fully participate in daily life including education and play. A lot of the work they do is creating custom seating. If a child can’t sit properly [...]
