personal site - accessorizing the cursor with js

July 16, 2021

With iPad OS 13, Apple finally announced mouse and touchpad support. But the way we use a mouse or trackpad is fundamentally different than the way we use touch.

personal site - loading images in a grid

May 30, 2021

High quality images can take a few seconds to load, even on fast internet connections, but users expect websites to be interactive in much under that. Browsers typically handle this by loading in the text and layout information first, while loading the images in the background. When an image is ready for display, it appears […]

logos - edaas

EDAAS is a web based virtual environment for programming education. I tried to highlight both the educational and technical prowess of the service through its logo. I chose a sand castle to reflect the playful and engaging lessons offered, with a flag representing goal setting and achievement. The bold all-caps headings contrast nicely with a […]

aquametric - methods of measuring velocity

September 11, 2020

While stage height can provide useful data to help predict flood events or other localized events, it is sometimes not enough to be able to quantitatively measure how one water body will interact with another. The flow rate can provide this data, but in order to measure it, you need to know a) the cross […]

aquametric - more robust hardware alternative

September 2, 2020

I’ve been working on an alternative sensor version for areas where natural conditions or people are likely to damage the device. The idea of a fully enclosed PVC sensor design came from my mentor session with Bruce Dominguez. While this design will be harder to install, it will be much more resilient to damage. Currently […]
