15" Photo Frame
Go big or go home. I gutted a 15" Laptop, stripping unnecessary components, carefully seperating all the parts and attached it to a custom cutout on a big photo frame. In the end I had a fully working, WiFi supporting, completely self-contained 15" photo frame!
2009
Box Computer
I stuffed a Core 2 Duo CPU overclocked to 3ghz on a Mini-ITX mobo into a 7" x 7" USPS Priority Mail box. Hilarity ensued. This was my primary computer for about 7 months.
2007
Facebook Desktop
Created at the infancy of the Facebook API in 2007, this app relies on the Facebook REST API to create pop up notifications for the common Facebook notifications. Since the Facebook API has gone through a ridiculous number of iterations this app is largely antiquated.

Classberry
The modern classroom environment is filled with connected devices. Classberry aims to harness this resource to provide a canvas (an HTML5 canvas to be exact) for presenters to draw on their slides while also integrating chat, polling, file sharing, and questions. All of these implemented to be compatible with modern browsers and HTMl5 enabled smartphones. This project is the winner in the Social Good category of the 2010 Zynga Hackathon.
