Dan's Projects

• Website: Ceremonial Violence

• Ceremonial Violence is the website for the book of the same name. It is made entirely in Flash CS3.

  As described by Amazon.com, Ceremonial Violence analyzes the Columbine high school shooting and four other cases and explains for the first time why teenagers commit school rampage shootings. These cases include: Brenda Spencer, 16, who after shooting at elementary school children for no apparent reason explained to a reporter: "I hate Mondays." Wayne Lo, 18, a brilliant Taiwanese student and violin prodigy who embraced white supremacist rhetoric. One night he stalked the campus of Simon's Rock College with a semi-automatic rifle picking victims at random. Evan Ramsey, 16, who went on a shooting rampage in Anchorage, alerting some twenty-five friends beforehand so they could observe the mayhem. Luke Woodham, 17, who claimed to have been controlled by demons when he killed his classmates.

  In addition to these cases, Fast provides a detailed, clear narrative of the Columbine shootings. With his grasp of the elements of abnormal psychology, developmental psychology, sociology, and neurology that contribute to the homicidal mindset, Fast offers us a means of understanding and coming to terms with these tragedies.

• Wizards

• Wizards is a game of strategy, fireballs, and chickens.

  An argument during a game of miniature golf has driven the blue and red wizards at each others' throats. Can you guide your cult of wizards to victory through the utter destruction of the enemy? Use over ten unique spells to launch, confuse, transform, and explode your way to victory. Play a friend in Battle Mode or play solo in Puzzle Mode.

  The game play of Wizards is strongly influenced by the Worms series and Final Fantasy Tactics. Wizards is a turn based game involving multiple characters and it features destructible terrain.

  The game is currently in Beta.
