FIXD! A week ago I tripped over my wacom tablet cable, and then the tablet wouldn’t turn on :( I opened up the device to see that I had broken the mini-usb connector! and the contact pads had ripped off with it. But I eventually got the tablet back in working condition, thanks to a new part from digikey and my labmate Ilan’s soldering iron.

Here’s to enabling users to fix their own devices!

The old guidebook (with my notes!)

Last fall, I helped MIT’s International Development Initiative redesign their guidebook. The guidebook is essentially a catalog of all MIT organizations and groups that involve work in the international development scene. In addition to an aesthetic redesign, I also organized the content and developed “tags” to make it easier for students to identify certain features of a group.
