Finally got around to uploading some pics and vids. I guess we’ll go in chronological order.

Here’s a video of Ada right after she put together a noise-maker circuit on her sister’s electronic playground. She read the directions and put it together all by herself. The only help she got from me was going through the final checklist. AWESOME!

Happy holidays. I’ve been spending all of my weekend (and the first part of this week) cleaning the house. It’s my Christmas present to my wife. Usually the housework falls into her lap, but she’s not very good at it. Sorry honey. Anyway, I also got out an old, cheap webcam so that I could play with some time lapse photography. The webcam is wireless so that I can stick it up anywhere in the house and just pull images off of it at whatever rate I choose. Of course I decided to take some time lapse movies of me and the girls cleaning the living room.

In this one the girls are heading down to the corner store to get us some donuts, but they were out. I chase Henry around while we wait for them to get back. We then rustle up some grub from the kitchen to eat before we get to work.

As you can see, this is the day after Christmas and the house has pretty much exploded. Gifts are everywhere and all the old stuff is there too. Here is the short, short version of us cleaning it all up.

And for those with the patience to watch almost 6 minutes of warp speed cleaning, here is the longer version. I especially love watching Henry drag that laundry basket around, Brownie following Edith everywhere, and both girls on the table messing around when I pulled it out to clean under it.

Finally, a little update: My old camera broke. This is one reason for the dearth of updates lately, that has now been remedied by my lovely in-laws. Hopefully, a new camera coupled with the completion of my last semester of classes ever (as a student anyway) will lead to more posts.

I used to keep a research journal here, but I’m moving all of my research posting to this here site. I figure that if I ever do anything interesting it’s more likely someone will find it here if they google me. Therefore, I’m going to start tagging research posts with the “research” category and personal posts with, you guessed it, the “personal” category. Now to go through all those previous posts and retag them. I’ll be posting an update soon about what I’m working on.

Here’s some fun video of us shooting some stuff.

*** WARNING *** There are a few “naughty” words, including the F-bomb so be forewarned.

It appears that my camera has had it. I keep getting a lens error and it doesn’t turn on. Still managed to get the last of the photos and videos off of it. Here they are.

Here’s a couple of videos of Henry. (They don’t have thumbnails right now, but I’m hoping to get that fixed.) Just remember to watch the cute baby and not the messy basement.

Here are a bunch of pics from my phone. Some have been sitting on there forever. I still need to get a new battery for my camera

DANG! It’s been a long time since I updated this here blog. Many long-winded and boring excuses, starting with my camera battery crapping out, but I won’t bore with the details. I did manage to get some pics and vids off of my SD card so here they are. **Note: These are from April and May.

Every year the HCI department puts on a little shindig to show off the research, etc., that goes on there. It used to be the HCI forum and then it was up-sized to the Emerging Technologies Conference. At this conference the students are required to put up a poster on their research and stand by it to answer questions for an hour. Here is my poster for this year. Click on it to check it out in all of its glory.
