David Lu, whom I mentioned in my blog before, has another site up, a showcase of his works or drawings using Processing (java), and C#. I am continually impressed by David’s work. He has even updated his portfolio site. He is one that I aspire to be when it comes to creation of computational [...]

Yes! That’s an iPhone in my hand and that’s my dog, Lupo, on the wallpaper and I want to share my experience playing with it for the first couple of days. This might be a long article so this is actually the first time I’ll have a “read more” link at the bottom of [...]

This artwork (shown above) in particular I love very much. It also looks like the smoke photography I found before (blogged here as “Holy Smokes!”) I really want [...]
