Ontario Engineering Competition at UW

The past week has been no less than crazy for me and the entire Project IRIS team. From designing the overall presentation for hitting a moving target down to creating an unbelievable sales pitch, we all did the best we could have possibly done to bring home a deserved 3rd place in the Innovation Design [...]

Adding the pew pew

Ah, doesn’t every look better with more pew pew? In the latest episode of UW administration hilarity, they decided to drop something like $60,000 to re-design the logo. The idea was to replace the current one year old refreshed logo with a complete new logo, removing the coat of arms completely. The new logo: nothing [...]

Sketching your designs in Pencil

I came across this pretty nifty light-weight prototyping tool Pencil on the weekend. If you follow my del.icio.us bookmarks (as seen on homepage), you would’ve caught it earlier.

What I mean by swiss is really the exclusive use of Arial and Helvetica throughout the design [...]

Starting to work on new website

Now that the new TWSA website has been delivered (with SEO, Facebook, Gravatar, all that fun and cool stuff), it is time for me to move on to… redoing this website. I already sort of have the design drawn up from a long time ago. I just haven’t had the time to start coding the [...]

Patent pending

As of this morning, my patent application (as the sole inventor) has been officially submitted with the United States Patents and Trademarks Office! I’m super excited that this was all done before I end my work term here at Business Objects. As some of you may know, this idea was originally thought of a few [...]

New hard drive!

I went out and picked a shiny new western digital my book hard drive today since it is on sale at Future Shop. We use the older version of this external drive at work and I really like it because it is really quiet and has an auto on-off feature to make sure you get [...]
