		<title>How to Prepare for Phone Interviews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Phone interviews are tough, especially for software engineering, user interface, and other tech positions.  Background noise on either end, shoddy audio quality, and just the fact that you&#8217;re not sitting face-to-face with your interviewer make for a trying experience.  Having gone through a bunch of phone interviews (4 with Google and 2 with Facebook) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pulse of the Planet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pulse of the Planet is a project of mine to visualize tweets in real-time on a map.  It&#8217;s powered by Google&#8217;s App Engine (Python) and uses the Twitter Search API and Google&#8217;s Maps (v3) and Geocoder API.
Besides looking cool, Pulse offers a way to visualize local trends and how many people talk about different subjects. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sensation and Perception Experiments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This fall, I took a psych class, Sensation and Perception, with Brett Fajen.  The class focused on how our perceptions of the world (primarily through the vision system) are formed and altered.  One part of the course involved designing and conducting experiments to measure the abilities and find the limits of human perception.
I designed two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Expand &#8211; A Chrome Extension for Expanding Short Links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Chrome Extensions Gallery opened up last week, bringing extensions to millions of Chrome users.  Ahead of the opening, I developed an extension which answered a question I&#8217;ve asked myself almost daily while on the web: Where is this short link taking me?
Some web apps, like Brizzly, will automatically expand short links on their site, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my grandma bought me my first point shoot camera upon my graduation from 8th grade in 2003, I&#8217;ve had an interested in photography.  Even though I was only 14, the notion of being able to capture a moment with the click of button struck me as special.
I took a bunch of photos (most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>GoFishn Alpha Launch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[GoFishn officially launched its alpha version today.  After over a year of hard work on the team&#8217;s and my part, it&#8217;s satisfying to see a project reach this level of completion.  There&#8217;s still lots to be done, and the next few months promise to be busy as we work towards the next launch.
Alpha invites will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Was Great (In So Many Ways)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past 12 weeks, I was a software engineering intern at Google on the Google Earth team.  Spending 3 months in California was one of the most fun and interesting experiences I&#8217;ve had in a while, and I miss being out there.
When I first arrived in California, I was greeted by nicer weather and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post-Google Redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just redesigned the site in order to do a few things:

Cleaner layout
HTML 5
CSS 3

Just looking at the site, you&#8217;ll wonder where all the HTML 5 is.  All of it is under the hood.  I&#8217;m taking advantage of the &#60;header&#62;, &#60;nav&#62;, &#60;article&#62;, and &#60;footer&#62; tags to improve the mark up on my site.  In fact, [...]]]></description>

		<title>cliqDNA is Live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About three weeks I caught wind of the Cliqset Developer Challenge on their email list.  After brainstorming and digging around their API documentation, I came up with the idea for cliqDNA, a cool web app which gives you a perspective on how you use the web and how your habits compare with the Cliqset [...]]]></description>

		<title>Okemo Mountain is now on Google Earth!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve been working on a project involving custom Google Earth layers  in my spare time.  Using Earth, I mapped out the trails of Okemo Mountain&#8217;s Jackson Gore Peak.  If you enable terrain and tilt the view, you can get some really cool perspectives of Okemo as you zoom around.
Download the Okemo layer!
