NYC Cycling Safety - Creativity and Computation

The most frequently used excuse I hear for NOT wearing visibility safety gear among cyclists is simple vanity. This project aims to aesthetcize and simplify safety gear  for cyclists by making it attractive and effective.

I'm hoping to make these items detachable from the garment so that no one jacket is the safety jacket. A cyclist would be able to wear protective gear no matter what they're wearing.

A Game of Squash - Processing Sketch

I designed this simple processing game to teach myself about the numerous sorts of squash that constantly show up in my CSA share. I never know what to do with them and it breaks my heart to see them eventually shrivel on my kitchen table only to be thrown away whole a month later. Squash are cheap, they keep well and and are full of general goodness so there's no reason not to eat 'em all up.

This project is a bit of a failure for me. I feel that I overlaid what I know how to do in web onto processing rather than coding something effective. But it was a great exercise for some coding practice.
