I get easily distracted by programming challenges. I finished 41st out of 20,000+ challengers in the Matasano/Square CTF, microcorruption. I placed 470 out of 7500+ challengers in the 2011 AI Challenge. Another example: I placed 34 out of 300+ bots in the Rock Paper Azure challenge.
During js13k 2014 I also tried my hand at a mobile game about exploring alien planets. It's called Mission.
I'm rather proud of a prototype I wrote for an HCI course called LongCal. The idea is a calendar that promotes long term thinking (e.g. goals that span months or years). Even simple tasks like quickly finding an upcoming birthday are much easier with LongCal. Click on the logo to get test data.
I made a library app for Epic Games and later sold a copy to Irrational. Eventually, I'd like to make it into a SaaS product
One of my sillier ideas: a social networking site where every person is represented by a single pixel.
