Redial Finals – Corrupti-pie
Redial Finals – A demonstration (the video) My redial finals was a corruption meter (focused on Afghan politicians) which required a voting platform. I set up a mysql database which would keep track of votes. This was then fed in to a webpage featuring a round image of the politicians. As a vote came in, the [...]
Redial Finals – Corrazzy Awards
For my redial finals I chose to do a real world application – a voting system for selecting the most corrupt politician. If there is one thing I have learned at ITP it’s that applying things is much harder than you initially anticipate. Almost always. The process goes something like this: Person dials 360 717 [...]

So people were constrained to writing on the front with the image. [...]
Redial Homework – Week 2
I am a little behind in my redial homework as I have been trying to grasp the concepts, which to my great relief has been understandable and fairly logical. It has been fun practicing and playing though. Here is my very uncomplicated, first attempt at setting up a dialplan. Call 917-534-6464 and hit extension 25 [...]
Short 25 & 6 word story
I attempted the 25 words or less story structure. It was much more difficult than I imagined. This is still in draft mode but here are my attempts (context below): 25 word story Title: Alternative therapy 1: The doctors failed him. But he was determined. And so he built his own device, sending beams of [...]
