19 Hours of Traveling

This week I went to Hawaii and was stuck traveling for nineteen hours :(.  I made this on the five hour plane ride from Seattle to Kona.

Place I Have Never Been

This week i had to go somewhere i had never been before so i went to see where my new apartment was. My roommate and i are moving and i went to see our apartment. Turns out that it sucks just about as bad as my current apartment.

Reactable: The Coolest Toy EVER

I found this on a video on YouTube, went to the website, and thought that this was awesome.  What a great way to make noises! It lets you literally play with sound.  The thing i thought was so cool is that it provided a tangible synthesizer that would not require much knowhow to use.  The table makes playing music more like playing with blocks. Heres the link http://mtg.upf.edu/reactable/ and few pics.

First "Interactive" Post: Fallout 3

This past week I bought Fallout 3.  A game about post-apocalyptic Washington DC where you run around as a character that you design and progress through the game.  In the game you can choose what type of life your character leads and how you interact with people affects how your character is viewed by other people in the game.  You can choose to be good or evil and progress through as a hero do-gooder or as the super villain.  I really had a lot of fun playing through the game as an evil guy, but the interactive part that really stood out to me was how depending on your stats and choices you can build a play style as well as a reputation.  For example my character has a high sneak and small guns skill so we have an ideal sniper and my gameplay reflects that.  I have to sneak around and catch enemies off guard in order to kill them. however my friends character has a high big guns stat and also a large medicine skill so he can just run in with a mini-gun throwing 5mm rounds all over the place.  If i were to try that i would just die, and similarly if he tried to sneak around and shoot long range he would constantly miss.

Book

I made this on InDesign and just made this book a small portfolio of recent things I have done on my mac.
