I followed a link today to Michael Ogawa's website and blog. He's a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at the University of California at Davis, where he participates in research with the VIDI (Visualization and Interface Design Innovation) group.

Here is a description of Michael's research, quoted from his site:

"My research focus is in software visualization. I am interested in bringing to light the efforts of software developers: How they work together on projects effectively to create some of the largest and most complex systems in the world. Complementary to that goal, I am also interested in designing visually appealing applications that capture an emotional aspect not seen in charts and graphs." -Michael Ogawa
I haven't fully explored Owaga's website, but it looks interesting.  Here is a video I found on his site of T.S. Elliot reading the "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock".  The visualization of the poem is interpreted by Open Wordle, an open source library for Processing, available at  http://code.google.com/p/openwordle/

Owaga is known for his work on the Code_Swarm project, "an experiment in organic software visualization". Below is a visualization of the commit history of the Eclipse IDE project:

Many of my close friends knows that I live without an antivirus. It’s not that they are not good but I just don’t like something hogging and slowing down my computer. The only security software that I use is Zemana AntiLogger to monitor keylogger, injection, startup and NetLimiter as a connection monitor or firewall. One [...]

First off, let me start my post by welcoming Juan to the blog, a new addiction that will no doubt offer infinitely more posts then I can at this moment in time. For him, I say thank you, because I’ve been so swamped with work, it’s completely unbelievable. Onto current situations and why I haven’t [...]

Do you guys still remember? 2 years ago, there is one worm called 'Conficker' invaded the computers all around the world. 'Conficker' basically focusing on exploiting user account password, therefore, this will generate lots of authentication traffic to all Active Directory domain controllers, and also will causing user accounts lockout due to too many invalid [...]
