Ambitorch

A year ago while camping in Florida, I wanted a better flashlight for reading and drawing. The problem with modern flashlights (and headlamps) is they have a concentrated beam. They are too bright and end up blinding. I wanted an ambient solution that spread light evenly over a large area. I created Ambitorch:

This uses three AAA batteries with a Ultra Fast-strobing Lumilux LED to produce a warm glow. It is an attempt to reproduce the light of a lantern, my favorite reading light. A prototype is in the works, a production model would likely use two (more available) AA batteries. Thanks to my sister Mere for modeling. Done in Solidworks, Photoshop, and Shot with my archaic Canon 10D.

Audiate Case Study

Audiate has been a project of mine for about a year now, in some form or another. We are building the best android music player, then want to allow groups to interact with music together. I recently spent a week in Kansas City at the Homes For hackers, working on the idea with developers. Auston Leroy, a software guru, joined the team. We decided to head back to New York as developers are much more plentiful around around the local colleges. Kansas City Public Television wrote a great article up on us during our stay.
