This document discusses the author's travels through time from 2005 to 2011 and experiences with interactive art installations, social networking, mobile technologies, games, sustainability, and more. It then explores potential thesis ideas involving mobile/web apps for civic engagement and learning, installations about ecosystems, and precedents in these areas. The document outlines the author's skills and areas of research interest in urban farming, mobile learning, and repurposing an app called Gardenista to focus on learning.
