Qurious TV for Boxee

Today my ITP team presented a concept called "Qurious" that runs on Boxee platform. Qurious is an application that enriches the television watching experience. Qurious knows the actors, songs, products, and topics of whatever you're watching, and helps you learn more. The concept was well received, and we got a lot of great feedback. We will be showing this at ITP Winter Show 2009.

Here's the archived live streaming video from the beta launch event.

Sleeping Kangaroo

When I saw a picture of a kangaroo sleeping peacefully (see below pic)... I wish I could sleep like that. I am holding on to the good sleep until my finals are over in a week.

ITP Tirol Choco

I was eating one of my favorite Japanese mini candies Tirol Choco and thought of making ITP versions. Mustafa, there is one special flavor for you! No, they are not on sales =)

For those who don't know what the actual Tirol Chocos look like...here is a photo of product examples. There are seasonal flavors (i.e. Xmas Soda) as well as permanent flavors (i.e. Tirol, Milk). Browse through their collection for more examples!

Big Screens 2009

Congrats to all hard-working people of Big Screens 2009! Everything was extremely well done and inspirational.

Still sick in bed, but with work...

I wish I could just focus on the wish list...

Down with Cold

I've been down with cold for the past few days... hope it goes away soon.

Acrylic Practice

I finally got a set of acrylic paints to play with. It's been a while, if not years, since I touched the acrylic, so I decided to practice painting with them today. This was an okay job. I could do better! Be patient.
