Chromocam: Modernist iPhone Photography
You can check out my latest project, Chromocam over here, and be sure to check the blog and gallery which are both powered by tumblr. I am really excited about the app, and having the webpage up, the twitter up, and a new youtube video up is really inspiring to see. On this project I am a one man band, doing the web design, the iphone development, video editing, and graphic design. Phew…...

Current Projects: iPhoneography
I’m working on some new projects lately, so I haven’t been posting too much. Or actually, I’ve been posting on other blogs readying content for when sites go live. So, I really am alive, I swear.

As a Portlander for the foreseeable future, one of the top things on my to-do list was to buy a new-to-me bike. I picked up a pretty janky complete bike at the recent Portland Bicycle Swap Meet for $150, and I’ve got a budget of about $150 to get it in sweetly working...

Oh no! I haven't posted in a month... but here's...
I’ve been slacking pretty hard, but I have good reason. I successfully went apartment hunting, had a couple of DJing gigs, and then I got super ill, as in in a cold or flu. You would think I may have spent some of that downtime wisely but mostly I messed with openFrameworks and cocos2d (hint hint) and watched a ton of movies. I also played with my iPhone.
