So as you may have known, for my 3B design project, my team and I set out to enter the Disney Imagineering Design competition. The design space was an idea I had, to look into the use of interactive surface display systems in line ups to combat the boring, often long wait times. The team was great, we were all very strong in complementary skills with a high interest in user experience design….and we can’t forget our fearless leader, Professor Stacey Scott, she was great!
I will post under “Design” sometime soon, the full problem space and more details about the solution including the amazing UI that was prototyped by Wayne and I in Flash, with visual design done by Amanda and Katie! Until then, here is a promo video that we made to promote Systems Design Engineering featuring some of the project highlights!
Oh…and this project was never actually submitted to the contest…long story there, maybe I will post something later.

I am not a blogger…Sorry(?)
I haven’t bought my own domain name, I don’t post on a daily basis, I prefer conversation over comments, I love my friends more then my followers, I don’t care about my page rank, I don’t live for the blog-o-sphere, I rarely check my blog stats, I choose human interaction over computer interaction, I may be separated by six degrees but connected closely to more then 6 people. This is me right now maybe not tomorrow…stay tuned.
I thought I should post that, since I’ve clearly been neglecting this “blog” since I’ve been busy with things in my “life-o-sphere”. Here are the highlights:
1. I got a job for the summer! I’m working as an Interaction Designer for VMware in Palo Alto, CA. I’m very excited about moving there!
2. The OLPC project is coming along nicely. I will post some stuff here soon.
3. The Disney project (and the OLPC project) has me bogged down learning flash, if you have any great links to tutorials please share.
4. Explorations, an event I help plan and organize with other 100 volunteers and 1200 visitors was a great success! The event invited the public to the University to encourage technical careers to kids in grade 6, 7, and 8!

Twittering Plant!
This week I signed up for Twitter. It’s big in the US but not so much in Canada. I’ve added the RSS of my tweets at the side (I’m working on getting the blog application). In case you can’t get enough of me, feel free to “follow”. The whole concept is a bit odd, I’m still trying to figure it out, but it seems like fun times so far! They have an official blog that just talks about everything twitter, including this plant that will send you a tweet when it needs water!
How nice, if only my lone bamboo plant sitting on my desk had this technology…..
