Projects

Recent

• Pegs
  An experiment in page layout and interaction. One scrollbar working as a differential over several scrollable areas. Tries to achieve independent (and hopefully sensible) distribution of movement.
  
  
• Santas!
  A tiny, little "shibboleth" service for easily making a secret santa list. (In my head a "shibboleth" service is one where a password is required but identity is de-emphasized, usually meaning users don't need to choose or manage a username or profile.)
  
  
• Google Reader
  In my spare time I started a project while working as an engineer at Google which became Google Reader and which I then worked on for years. It only became a real project thanks to the care and effort that has come from a great group of people that are much smarter than me and that have been dedicated to helping make it a useful part of many people's lives.
  
  
• A short film, "Hung" (8:29, Quicktime)
  Featuring songs by Saturday Looks Good To Me, Citizens Here and Abroad, and The Small Hours. Also, available on YouTube.

Archived. (Mostly dead.)

The following experiments are mostly unusable as they're more than a few years old at this point. I keep them around for sentimental value. They'll be removed at some point.

  A Calendar object base designed for use in prototyping a web application's UI.
