With The Band

Projects

Listed below are some of the personal projects (i.e. not paid client projects, you can check those out over there) I have or am working on. If you’re interested in anything drop me an e-mail.

• Get Metro Times - I got annoyed not being able to check times for the DC Metro from my phone and having to wait at the station, so I wrote an SMS tool to tell you the next few times for your station.
• Localnik - My current pride and joy, and primary project I am working on marketing. An online marketplace for odd jobs, where people can save money by hiring someone in their area.
• Picket Fence Project - I’ve never had a chance to participate in an open source project, so I started my own! I wanted to build a tool that makes it really easy for web developers to handle user authentication. Check it out!
• Facebook - No no no, I’m not one of those people suing them saying it was my idea. I do a ton of Facebook apps for myself and for others. It’s a lot of fun.
• Alex Grossberg - I made a site for my girlfriend

Shelved Projects - Things I’ve done on the past and have moved on. Some of these were programming projects to learn specific things, some I just ran out of steam on. I rarely take things down, so they float on forever. Every time I look at these, I think “damn, that was a good idea. I should do something about this.” Alas, there are only 24 hours in a day. If you are interested in these please drop me a line.

• BackwardBlog - A widget/trackback link bloggers can use to gather things from their readers and read it as an RSS feed. I really fought for this, but couldn’t get a single blogger to adopt this. Frustrated!
• Tsviki - Web 2.x application directory, where people can. I let the UI go a little too overboard, and faced some serious UX issues where it was scrap it and start over or shelve it for a later period. Tsviki also happens to be one of my nicknames.
• ThoughtFog - Similar to PostSecret. Users can anonymously post things, and other people can anonymously reply. RSS, tagging, etc.
• YesterdayI - Wow this was old school. Lifestreaming project - every day, you would write a short line about what you did yesterday.
