So it's summer. I moved apartments, made an emergency trip to Seattle, got old(er), started an internship at the unparalleled Stamen Design and bought, like, curtains for, like, my bedroom. I have an actual bedroom now; separate from the living room; an all the way down the hall, can't hear the @#@!&(# street noise, warm at night bedroom. It's exciting. Plus there are all these new surfaces to remove the cat from. This business has successfully digested a month and now it's June.
I was going to start a project to figure out a way to pull data from San Francisco's DBI site. They have a tool that allows you to look up building permits and complaints for any building you have an address for. When I was apartment hunting last month (or last, last month) it was comforting to see whether or not the apartment I was looking at had been reported for nasty mold problems or holes in the ceiling. Not a necessary tool by any means but fun. Unfortunately they don't allow random automated scripts to pull info from their site–booooo. Along those lines, I also looked on the SF courts website to see how often my old landlord had been taken to court. That was fun. Now if only I had known about public records 10 years ago when I rented an apartment from that guy who was busted for human trafficking.
I had another final project for my Interactive Studio which I never documented here because although I had a semi-working version for the final, I wasn't completely happy with it. I'll post some screenshots, though, for fun.
