Tweenbots are an amusing project: small simple robots that rely on human strangers to reach their destinations, moving through cities. They demonstrate that city dwellers have a sense of fun and willingness to help. Bruce Schneier suggests that they represent a welcome divergence from anti-terror paranoia.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
