Health and Wellness: Sketches and Mock Ups
So our group decided to go with the shopping idea. Instead of having the user tote a list around, the list would be generated and remembered through a USB keychain. This keychain would be able to store, transact and record information the person’s consumption and purchasing habits. As a result, we can solicit [...]
Dialog: Games + Information Visualization
I promise to update on my group’s progress. We are getting somewhere and it’s exciting! Lots of data visualizations and interesting spatial/temporal interactions. Our advisor thinks we are heading in a good direction and we also received good feedback from our Microsoft advisor as well. I’ll just mention that we are now working on [...]
Health and Wellness: Concepts and Designs
Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that our initial website is up: Pebble In A Pond
wtf does that mean?!
Simply, it is a metaphor of our purpose. A single pebble dropped into a calm pond, causes ripples to spread further and wider. There is a dualistic relationship here: One is that [...]
Health and Wellness: Research and Analysis
Time for an update right? It’s been a week and by the way I’m naming these titles, it’s looking like a software development life cycle (SDCL *shutters*). I was hoping for a more agile approach, but then again, this is school and going through the processes is pretty essential. So from my previous post, [...]
Health and Wellness: The Ambiguous Beginnings
Starting new projects are always fun and mysterious. The open endedness really allows you to explore crazy ideas and really see what the rest of the team is thinking. That kind of insight is really important, because it allowed me (and others) to see more of what drives our own thinking and perspective.
We [...]
ZenZui: Microsoft’s Zoom-Based Mobile UI
In the far eastern lands of Redmond comes a new start up called ZenZui. It’s for your mobile phone and it’s a different way of accessing your information and media from content providers. Developers also have have a way to build applications to reach out to the public. For what? It could be games, [...]
Final Fantasy XII = New Life
Everyone has their poison. Whether it’s alcohol, smoking, pwning in World of Warcraft, or NCAA Football, we find something that makes time fly by. Well I’ve found Final Fantasy XII (12). I’ve put off this game for some years because I’ve never sacked up to buy a Playstation 2 in anticipation for [...]
New Years 2007 & Project 365 Resolution
Every blog and their mom seems to be looking back on 2006. It definitely has been a busy year with lots of different things going on. I say this every year, but each year seems to get better and better. Let’s see if I can break down my own experience for you [...]
I Need A Quality Portfolio
*Edit* Speaking of, Google just emailed me about my application for a design position. They want to see my portfolio. Gah! Time to buckle down and make magic happen. I need to respond back “sometime soon.” That’s pretty subjective. Is that like, by Monday? next week? next year?!
Title says it all.
I’ve been meeting with a ton of talented [...]
Too Busy To Blog and I Hate It
Why!? There is so much to write about and so much to say, but it all becomes so difficult to articulate. WWDC just happened and updates on my job are some of the few things I wanted to go over. But nooo. Instead I am spending 10 and considering 11 hours a day at Microsoft! [...]
