In the autumn of 2006, I was honored to be accepted into the Design and Technology department's research assistants' program. As an officially designated factotum, I've worked on:
OSI: Lots of cool things are in the offing, especially with Psiphon. Work done in my Design and Psychology class has produced some very interesting results. Check back soon!
Sydewynder: A Python-based SMS send/receive server tha can run mobile games, coordinate protests, whatever you need done, all from a single Nokia mobile phone.
Syllabus Data Mining: I'm helping the Urban Studies folks put together a curriculum using a custom search engine that parses syllabi and pulls out unique keywords from each.
