A Little Portfolio Demonstration

Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
A lot of people don’t know exactly what I do. What is Informatics? What is Interaction Design? You’re artsy fartsy (wrong, but I do love art, and especially great design). So on and so forth. Well it occurred to me that while I have spent my long summer hours [...]

Observation: Increase in DSLR Market

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the growing DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) community? I’m just sitting here at Cafe on the Ave and I think I just saw four different people with DSLR cameras. Three of them had entry level cameras: Canon EOS 400D and the Nikon 40Dx; while [...]

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 [...]

In Love

Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir is probably the most amazing photographer I have ever discovered. Her style is so unique and compelling that it just makes me go “damn” everytime I look at a picture she took. Her Flickr following also gives a pretty certain indication that she rocks everyone else’s world too! and she’s incredibly gorgeous. [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom will never find this, but I’d like to just put it out there. Happy Mother’s Day! To all mom’s and mothers to be. It is a special day indeed. Even though we all get in fights, get impatient, frustrated and even upset, you can’t help but remember those other moments: [...]

Visualize Your DNA With Imagini

Yes, I was bored tonight and can’t quite get into a productive attitude. So instead, I take these silly profile maker things and reinforce the fact that I am who I am.

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, [...]

Reminder: Blog More, Kevin!

To my beloved readers Note to self, get those two damn updates out on the project’s progress. Research is done and the actual preliminary designing part is coming up! There’s the presentation to recap on and the website to introduce! Do it.

Virginia Tech: You Have My Best Wishes

As if a murder-suicide on my own campus wasn’t enough, Virginia Tech experiences something far worse of unspeakable magnitude.
What struck me about this whole situation, other than the insane account of the whole event, is how the nation is reacting. First, there are over 100+ groups on Facebook, and probably hundreds more on other [...]
