The Chalkboard Project

Yet another example of a project created for The Project Museum that got pushed by the wayside. The Chalkboard Project, like the Cell Phone Camera Picture Project, juxtapose user-submitted adjectives and nouns side-by-side to create interesting phrases. The project was originally going to compile complete sentences, but we lost interest when the client said it wasn’t as unique as the Cell Phone concept. Ah well, play around.

Cell Phone Camera Picture Project

Mike and I made a pretty fun widget for JSF a year or so ago, but he never ended up running it on his site. The Cell Phone Camera Picture Project allows users to submit cell phone pictures by email or directly from their phones to add them to a gallery of random photos. The key to the project was to see how the juxtapose randomly with other people’s submitted pictures.

“Heat” Map

I was chatting with Zeh Fernando, and thought of a fun concept to create a flash widget to display areas of unrest in the world. The idea was to have users submit links to news articles about death and destruction and link to a node on a world map. This way people could get a better sense of how much of the world is consumed by war.

I should say that the concept is the only thing fun about this. In reality, this “Heat” Map, derived from the urban definition of heat, isn’t really too fun. If I get enough responses I may push through to complete the project. In the meantime, click the link below to launch the map and click around on it to change spots from black (cold) to white (hot). And if you want to see it completed, just let me know.

Making a Genovese

Remember how happy Donnie was when he had an authentic Genovese sandwich in front of him? Well, we thought, “why go all the way to Venice to enjoy this delectible treat?”

The following step by step will demonstrate how we were able to make Genovese Sandwiches right from the comfort of our own Harlem homes.


The Ingredients.
Italian Flatbread, is simply “Sicilian Style” pizza dough. Cut it in “CD” sized squares, and then through the middle to end up with two thin slices.


Apply the fixins.
We found this sequence gave us the best results:
1) Prosciutto
2) Tomatos
3) Mozzarella
4) Roasted Peppers


Grill’m up!
My George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine did just the trick. Let it grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasty on both sides.


The Results.
Here’s the finished product, cut diagonally, just like they do in our Venetian Cafe!!!

Buon Appetito!
