  • Daylighting Simulation Project

    In the summer of 2005, I worked in the Solar Calorimetry Lab on simulating the effect of daylighting and the response of a lighting control I installed in the Integrated Learning Center. I simulated everything using the lighting software package RADIANCE.

  • UberMedia

    I just found out about dose.ca today when I was walking by it outside a Union Station news stand. Ironic that I first saw it in print form. Also, I just saw EPIC 2015 because a friend sent it to me. This is what mostly spearheaded this line of thought. There is so much information…

  • On Playing in God's Theatre

    Scene: In what was a perfect setting for philosophical discussion on the universe, I was sitting in my Dad’s backyard with my Dad and brother.

Keith Johnstone writes almost exclusively in Socratic dialogue, in a constant argument with the people on stage who are arguing back with him. Its so…

  • In the beginning

    In the beginning, god created light, by saying “let there be light”. Later, the electric and magnetic component of this wave split into conveniently understandable behaviours, one supposedly as an aspect of another. Further on, sufficiently intelligent monkies created ways to harness these tiny electric particles to actually mean something…. ….which brings us to here.…
