- The American National Corpus Project
- The American National Corpus (ANC) project is a major activity funded by the National Science Foundation that is building a massive corpus of texts and spoken transcriptions of contemporary American English. All of the data are annotated with linguistic analyses of various kinds so that computational linguists can build language models to assist in machine understanding of human language.
The project is based at the Department of Computer Science at Vassar; Princeton University, Columbia University, and the International Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley are partners. As many as 8-10 Vassar students are involved in ANC research projects, ranging from computer and web programming to linguistic analysis, during both the academic year and the summer.

- Spiffchorder usb chording keygrip.
- The Spiffchorder is a stable, fully functional, open source platform for creating a USB chording keyboard. The current incarnation of the SpiffChorder is a 7-key chorder with with easily changeable chord-maps. The hardware-design has been designed for chords consisting of up to 8 keys, plus 3 additional keys that can be used as modifiers (ctrl, alt, shift). This allows substantially different chording ideas to be implemented. The spiffchorder code was written by Mikkel Holm Olsen concept and chordmaps by Greg Priest-Dorman.
- Wearable Electronics and Body Worn Computers
- Greg has been wearing electronic devices since 1976. By 1986 these devices were computers and by 1996 they had become general purpose linux devices. Some of this work has been documented on these pages:
