Turning coffee into feats of intellectual derring-do since 2001
Hi there, I'm Adam Simon. I'm currently finishing up my masters at NYU's ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program), doing research in large scale game design, social networking, urban computing, performative technology, and networked objects.

I sometimes work at area/code.
Projects that I've been a part of which you might have heard of include Socialbomb, BootyDialer, The Invention of Murder, Rumplestiltskin (An Aretefactual Performance), & Sharkrunners
You can email me at adam @ [the name of this website].
