bio
for those of you stumbling across this site, i thought an introduction might be in order. (its dry, it perhaps boring, but i wanted to push out my skillset, background and thesis work in some sort of collected manner for those who havent heard it 600 times.)
im tripp millican, a third year in the program.
ive got a bs in computer science from william and mary ('98) and a bfa in communication design (w/ an emphasis on kinetic imagery) from virginia commonwealth university ('02).
from 98-02, i worked as a web developer for a number of companies, including several fortune 500 ones. most of my work was design oriented, with some light server-side programming.
on my own, ive done a fair amount of database and server-side programming - personally its been in asp and mssql, but here at school, its been php and mysql.
whew. that was dry and boring.
my thesis is working towards a 24/7 point-of-view video recording system, publishable to the web. its a very deep project - the more i dig, the more stuff seems to surface.
im way into narrative. reading, writing, telling stories.
i'm always looking for help - programatically or creatively. im working towards several hardware systems right now and would love you to be interested enough to volunteer wearing it one day so i can see your life.
you can aim me at trippywah
or email me at trippp at gmail
(and yes, its with 3 p's, as gmail makes you have 6 characters)

Tripp,
Saw you in the CBS piece on Sunday Morning -- my wife April (we were married in May) watches that particular show religiously. You can imagine my surprise when I saw you in the piece on Robert Zemeckis!!!
Congrats on your 10+ seconds of fame. Sounds like you and your colleagues at USC are doing some incredible work. For our part, April and I can't wait to see the Polar Express.
Other than the wedding of course, there's nothing much to report on my end. April and I are moving in a couple of days to Reston, VA, from an apartment in Arlington. At our new home we'll live only about a block or two away from Matt Schmid and Kay. It'll be great to have the Schmids close by.
I hope all is well with you.
All the best,
YITB,
Paul Chandler

Tripp, you rock! Didn't see your piece, but I'm sure you're as beautiful as ever :) I'm actually down the street from you in san diego until thanksgiving! We should get together and play some Mortal Kombat. See ya.
