I've developed a habit of looking at random flickr user's first photos. I love to see the first moment they chose to share with the world. When I started, I expected to see a lot of babies, vacations and weddings, but was greatly surprised by the diversity. This application displays the first photo ever posted from the most recent flickr users.

Inspired by
Drew Heffron's funny-o-meter, I created an interactive version for Twitter.
When I contacted Drew about the project, he was kind enough to send me some stickers.

Harper’s Index is one of my favorite depressing reads, so I decided to take the Index and break it out into smaller bits of harsh realities to be consumed at one's leisure via SMS.
Simply text keyword “Index” to 41411 whenever you can stomach it and you’ll receive an item from the latest Harper’s Index.
Days after I sent this application to Harper's via Twitter that they published the Index online in a searchable format and begin twittering its items: 7.
I’m fascinated by how storytelling is going to change with the new formats available online. I like to experiment with taking the same piece and converting it to an online format to see if it reads differently, so I took the classic story “Flowers for Algernon” which is written as a journal and re-formatted it as a
blog.

I discovered
this comic on Boing Boing and despite enjoying the comic itself, was annoyed by the scroll and click interface. Taking some cues from iPhone apps like Tweetie, I created an interface that creates a seamless 'page-turning' experience. Simply scroll to the bottom and the page will refresh with the next page of the comic; scroll to the top to go to a previous page.
