In preparation for putting together my portfolio on here, I've rummaged around through my archives and came up with this tentative listing. There'll be more, of course, but this'll do for now. (And I'm posting it on here as a reminder of what to put into the portfolio.) First, ...
Seeing Jeff Han's multi-touch demonstration over at TED (and I'd seen a similar demonstration before, on Jeff's website) made me drool with goosebumpy excitement. (There's a bunch of other cool stuff on his site, too, like the LED touch display and the Media Mirror.) Innovation is ...
