mad science projects
2012
October
and
December
In October, I wrote a
bullfighting copter in
Berlin
with
dominictarr.
In December I hacked together a
virus
to infect AR drones that didn't work very well but it won a prize.
2010
January
through
July
I built an underwater ROV with some friends in Alaska for
a contest
in Hawaii.
2010
January
Over winter break I built a robotic telescope controller
from a lego mindstorms NXT brick and some python.
2009
June
through
August
I made a revamped version of an offline data-entry webapp for ice-breaking
research vessels on the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea.
2008
May
through
September
I built
a viewer
for rendering 3d scenes in
the discovery lab.
I took a mars dataset some other students created and loaded it
into the viewer to make a
fully-labeled planetary interactive mars demo.
2007
March
through
April
On rather short notice I built a 3d backdrop animation system for
a theatrical production
at uaf.
I have over 200 modules on npm
and over 400 projects on github.
Most of these are just tiny things that solve some narrowly-defined long-tail
problem but here are some of my more popular and interesting projects:
Use node-style require() calls to load scripts and
npm modules in the browser.
Freestyle rpc. It's callbacks all the way down!
Transform source code on a recursive walk of the AST.
This module is the basis for many of my source transformation experiments.
Turn any http server into a git endpoint that you can
git push to.
Keep track of your services in a registry so that you can decompose your
backend into lots of tiny services that all do just a single thing.
Parse command-line arguments.
Generate music with javascript functions.
Functions just take the time in seconds and return an amplitude between
-1 and 1.
Authenticate and encrypt with symmetric public keypairs across any kind of
stream.
I like tiny programs that do one thing well and one thing only.
Which hypothetical reusable modules would make the task at hand trivial?

I am pretty busy running
browserling
and
testling
with Peteris Krumins
and doing mad science,
but if you need a tiny module or some vector artwork
I am open to doing ad-hoc small jobs on commission.
Just send me an email.
If you would like to help subsidize my mad science research projects,
gittip donations
are greatly appreciated!
I also accept bitcoin.
