Launched Be The Mayor with Rick Webb and Emma Welles, here at The Barbarian Group as a side project. It got in TechCrunch which is kind of fun. More info on it at the Barbarian blog.

Finally got Last Night's Check-ins out the door. I designed and built this. It's sort of a diary driven by your Foursquare checkins. It’s super easy to use. You just sign up and it’ll email you a list of your checkins from the previous night, and you can email back some notes about each one. It’s awesome to look back a month after the fact and see what you were up to all those late nights.

I built Rename the Swine Flu with Zach Slow and Bryan Denman. It was pretty popular, until it got overrun by racists Hungarians and we had to shut it down. Then Google turned of my Adsense account. True story.

Check out this analysis of emoji usages on Twitter I made. Also, follow twitter.com/probablyTrue. It's a bot that pulls short facts from Wikipedia 3 or 4 times a day. Original blog post.

Two side projects: Rappers On Twitter and One Kill per Second. Both built with Merb. I designed/developed all of Rappers on Twitter, and just did back end on One Kill Per Second. Worked with some Barbarian chaps on that.

Since the beginning of the year I've been a full time Barbarian, which is pretty exciting. Projects thus far: Tap Project, for UNICEF, and a blog that sucks in all this other content from other sources. Hopefully we'll productize that.

Fun to see a site I helped work on get written up by The Guardian: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/digitalcontent/2007/11/voting_has_just_opened_for.html

Just launched the very exciting The 2 Husbands, which is being called the first million dollar online reality show. Lots of Rails and video processing/streaming going on there, so do check it out.
August 9
Product launch: RallyClock - Time Management via IM and the Web. It's nice and new and on Rails, built with Vermonster.
July 1
Little update. Two new internal Rails apps for The Barbarians, work on a product for Vermonster that should be released soon (Rails, Postgresql, JS, design), and I quietly released a personal project that's been marinating for a year and a half now: iKnowEm (on Rails!). And a wee little mini-site for my sister's project: Bullet Buddies. Have a looksee.

Little redesign for Wesley Mann's site. The old one was kind of wierd, I guess. Bird wings and a Western motif for an NYC photographer? It's still delightfully Rails-based, rest assured.
February 20, 2007
New projects: An internal workflow app for The Barbarian Group (Rails), another PHP app for Harvard Law, and more Rails work for Vermonster and IBC.
I'm still open to other interesting projects, time permitting. Get in touch!

Hello friends,
Quick note to say that I'm happily doing Ruby on Rails
exclusively from now on, largely as a result of working
on a hefty job (4+ months so far) for
these folks, with these guys.

Two launches in one week: Wes' site is done, too. Built with Ruby on Rails, Flash, and a Javascript drag-and-drop photo administration on the backend.

Introducing Quote-Fu, another quotes site, built with Ruby on Rails.

The Amazing del.icio.us Stemmer!
Jan 30, 2006
I launched two new sites to between late 2005 and early 2006: Pointfingers.com and BookPriceFinder.
Both are happily built with Ruby on Rails. I released the code to PointFingers which produced a small amount of buzz and a pretty good amount of traffic.
BookPriceFinder is a book price comparison engine that I'm hoping to make some money off of referrals. It's really just an experiment, both in terms of programming (writing the web crawlers was interesting) and straight money making.
Also coming up is my friend Wes Mann's photography portfolio. That's been on the back burner for a while, and I'm very happy to finally be getting it off the ground.
