Accelerator Diagrams

For my undergraduate design thesis at PNCA I’m working on explaining particle acceleration through design and interactivity. Using the International Linear Collider as a model, I created diagrams for each step in a collision experiment. They’re intended to help define a visual language for the project and will soon be animated and used as the basis for an interaction prototype. Read on to see them up close. (more…)

Welcome to 3.0

I’ve just launched the new version of this site and it comes with many exciting changes, both in design and under the hood. The front page now acts as more of a portal, aggregating content from the blog, portfolio, flickr and twitter. The portfolio has been completely rebuilt using Django and is much easier for me to update. I’ll be putting together a more complete introduction to the new site once DNS settles down a bit. Stay tuned.
