DrumPants
DrumPants are a set of pants that enable the wearer to produce drum sounds by hitting various parts of the pants with his hands. The wearer thusly becomes a cyborg musician, his body assuming the roles of both player and instrument, allowing for spontaneous electric hambone solos or even collaborations with other musicians in a band setting on stage, on the street, on the bus, anywhere and anytime!

Dissembler Website
I play bass in the epic flamenco-metal band Dissembler. The website is an interactive landscape where the user can manipulate objects, trigger events, and change the color scheme based on his mouse movements. Check out the boom box streaming real music!
Noise Evolution
This video installation lets viewers interact with cellularly-automated avatars of themselves, painting a shifting landscape of multicolored sands with their movements.
File Flyer
This was my final project for my Computer Science degree. It is a 3D File system Visualization Tool, similar to the Mac OSX Finder but in 3D. It incorporates pseudocoloring and other techniques to help visualize and navigate the file system more efficiently. I plan to work on it further and develop it into a complete usable shell and file browser, hopefully redefining the way people use computers. Please see "File Flyer.doc" or the README for details.
JR Techie Flash Website
This is a completely module-based website written in Macromedia Flash. I wrote this for a retail store called JR Techie last year. It features the basic user interface which can load different pages (as compiled flash files) in the lower part. I designed the layout, all the graphics, the framework for loading files, and did all the programming including the email forms and the rest with that horrible excuse-for-a-language, Actionscript. I also wrote the background music. Overall, it was an enlightening experience, but unfortunately it is not being used anymore as the store's website.
