		<title>Conductive Fluid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Richard and I decided to make a fluid that would allow us to create liquid circuits.
 
 
We tried many different combinations of the materials: water, oil, salt, powder graphite, and glue. The best combination was water, salt, and graphite, which resulted in a mixture that gave a steady reading of about 100 ohms. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike Generator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my thesis class this week, we spoke about how many people have limited access to electricity. Indeed, a quick Google search confirmed that an estimated 25% of the world population has no access to electricity (mostly in rural areas of the developing world).
I thought it would be an interesting challenge to design a system [...]]]></description>

		<title>Text on a Curve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a simple sketch I made that draws text on a curve. Drag the mouse horizontally to set the letter spacing, drag vertically to set the arc radius, type to edit the text.

		<title>Food Triad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week we had to build a piece on our relationship to energy. The type of energy I focus on the most is food, mainly because I eat everyday and because I have a choice of what to eat. There are three main factors that come into play when I decide what to eat:

How good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Waste Log for the Past Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a log of all my waste for the past week. I wanted to keep it manageable, so I focused on physical things I actually throw out in the garbage (or recycling). I realize electricity is a big part of my consumables, but I left it aside as I had no way of quantifying [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our assignment for the Softness of Things was to create a system. My team (Lara Grant, Jelani John, Milena Selkirk, and myself) decided to make a game with specific inputs, goals, and rules, but with broad tasks and outputs.
The Input

Teams of four
A sheet of paper with words on it

The Rules

Each person in the team chooses [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connections: Chatroulette Cock Map</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoy going on Chatroulette and think it is a great idea. Unfortunately, anybody who has been on will tell you that the main problem is the huge number of people masturbating on camera. People do this because they think they are anonymous online and they cannot be tracked down. Those same people would [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone Zoetrope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thesis idea I had last semester was to build something I called an &#8220;iPhone Power Ranger&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t have a specific idea, but I wanted to build an app that required multiple iPhones to work. It is really interesting to see how the iPhone is such a ubiquitous device in New York, especially at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stereoscopic Updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like both thesis ideas on stereoscopic vision are going down the drain.
I lost interest in the 3D camera rig idea because I met 3 people in the last week who are working on very similar projects, and that pretty much turned me off.
In regards to the anaglyph drawing machine, I was a little worried [...]]]></description>
