Deceptively simple, deceptively addicting. Jenova Chen’s Flow is the result of his MFA thesis.

Designvelopment is a term I use to describe how I'm switching constantly between a sketchbook, code, and pixels, blurring the line between creative and logical thinking. This site is meant to be an outlet for my thoughts as an interactive designer and developer, as well as a resource for others in this field.
Thanks for reaching out to me. I'll be in touch as soon as possible.
Gallery of Computation

Jared Tarbell does not claim to be an artist. He is a programmer. Next to each of his works is not a date on which the work was made, it is the date of its processing. Besides all of these facts, one look at Jared’s collection at his Gallery of Computation will reveal that Jared Tarbell is indeed a brilliant artist. But he is not the first to develop artwork from programmed algorithms. If you like what you see at complexification.net, check out the work of Joshua Davis.

Posted March 22, 2006 at 3:54 pm
I realize that the frequency of posts to this website has tapered off in the last few months. It’s been a crazy busy year so far, and it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. However, I have managed to write my 200th post. It seems like just yesterday I wrote my 100th post. The good news is that craigphares.com will soon be revamped, so keep an eye out for the next generation. Thanks for listening!

Windows Live Local – Virtual Earth
Posted 4:03 pm
Microsoft has released their Windows Live Local preview. You can drag the car around the map and see a first-person view of the street. Although the technology is cool, this is a very bizarre takeoff of Google Earth. The user has the option of choosing between a race car, a sports car, and walking. And what’s with the Xbox controller resting on the sports car’s dash?

There are great caricaturists… and then there are GREAT caricaturists. David O’Keefe not only does traditional illustrated caricatures, he sculpts them! Browse through his portfolio; I’m sure you’ll recognize his work.
