Projects
The following projects are what’s on the go for me. They all play a significant role in my journey as a student.
PInGo (Personal Information on the Go)
This iPod Touch app was built for the clinical study of Susan Tupper, a PhD student at the University of Saskatchewan. Check out this posting for more information on this. It’s a great example how mobile cloud apps can be used for research.
EMAC (Educational Mobile Access Community) for an Education University Grad Course
This is a collaborative project among the MADMUC Lab and a few other departments at USASK and will hit the testing phase soon. It will allow students to discuss course topics, find nearby peers, and download and read course material. We are very excited to get it out there for students to use it on their iPod Touches and iPhones (other devices to follow depending on the success of the app). The technologies researched include: Erlang Webmachine and Rhomobile (Rhodes & Rhosync) for the proof of concept phase, Coldfusion and Appcelerator Titanium for development and production phases.

I recently helped organize and participate in Saskatoon’s iPhone Hackathon for Charities 2010. Checkout http://apps4good.ca for more details. My team in Saskatoon created a very cool iPad app called CoachPad, for drawing different sport plays. Ideal for team sports! More on this to come…
Pando Branches
This project will be the result of all my experiences up to date. I can’t share much about it yet, but it will entail all that I’ve learned from my previous projects. This app will help strengthen intentional and sustainable communities. If you are interested please feel free to contact me to trade ideas. From a technical perspective I’m looking into: Distributed Social Networking, Cloud Computing Services, AtomPub, personal data store services, and social networking APIs.
