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.

December 6

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

November 13

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. No more PHP gigs for me, thank you very much. Update 1: Never mind, see above. Update 2: Never mind, still on the Rails, mostly.

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.

May 17, 2006

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.
