Dennis Crowley
Hi - my name is Dennis and I'm one of your co-hosts this semester. I've been working in the mobile + locative space since 2001 - Vindigo, ITP (PacManhattan, Big Brother Foosball), dodgeball, area/code (ConQwest, Plundr). I'm mainly interested in how technology can be used to facilitate serendipity and how game theory may be used to change how people experience the city. I'm an average PHP programmer, I'm okay at MySQL, I know zero about Java development, and I have an iPhone. Oh yeah, and I'm an ITP grad '04 and live in the East Village.

I've been working in the web industry since graduating from Washington University in St. Louis in 1995. I started out as a co-founder of the AdOne Classified Network, which brought small to medium sized newspaper classified advertisements online. After AdOne I worked for a small consulting company called TCB Data Systems where I converted the global Market Data Reporting system for the NYSE, Nasdaq, Amex, Euronext, and other major exchanges from a BBS-based system to the web. From there, I moved to Organic, Inc., where I helped create websites for Tommy Hilfiger, Sting's Brand New Day World Tour, and Bloomingdales...for which I created Organic's first-ever mobile WAP site. After the bubble burst and all but a few were laid off, I went back to TCB Data Systems, where I remained until ITP. My interests are mainly in interface engineering and user experience, but I have a wide variety of technical skills. My personal blog is Crackblur, and my del.icio.us, Twitter and flickr names are all "crackhead". No, I don't smoke crack...at least not literally.
