Essays & Downloads
and other random stuff

On this page I will post essays I write, music mash-ups I make, and other random projects and things that are not at all related to aviation or to photography.

This page is under construction. There is a LOT more stuff I mean to put up here, but it will take a while. For example, I want to describe and illustrate the design and constructions of my halloween costumes (which include, for example, an elaborate Master Chief spacesuit). I also want to put up some of the research reports and other papers I wrote while I was in college (the aerodynamics research I did was kinda interesting). And more stuff too.

Until then, enjoy what I have put up so far:

Click on the following two links to listen to and/or download two not-too-terrible mash-ups I have edited: Spirit In The Sky Or Else, Ainda É New Years

Or you can read a research paper I wrote (published in a research journal!) about videogames and narrative (why videogames are NOT very good at telling stories).

I am currently working on an essay about DRM, an essay about how Google treats its contractors (temp employees), and finally an essay with some thoughts on religion.

I guess you might also possibly be interested in checking out all the airplane images that are shown at the top of my site's pages. An image is picked at random each time a page is loaded.

That's it for now.
