I’ve written a number of open source projects over the years, with many more on the way. All of my Android apps and games are open source, as are the fruits of my previous start-up Discursive Labs. Here are a few of the ones that became popular over the years.

Quick Pro-Tip, Add a Tablet Holder to Your Laptop Table
~1 min read ![]()
So you’re sitting around your living room, using your laptop. It’s chugging along happily, glowing brightly, and you’re enjoying a rousing game of ‘team solitaire’ (Valve’s newest online sensation). But wait! Your teammates are taking a reaaaaly long time to queue up for the next game, and you’re wanting to kill some time with ‘very pissed off avians…. under water!’ (the newest iteration of the mobile time sink that’s been sweeping the interwebs). You pull out your tablet, fire up the game, and start flinging feathered friends forward. You look up, and woah! The game has already started! You scramble for a safe place to put your tablet, spilling your drink all over your cable modem and rendering it slower than a 56k dial-up modem. Sadly, being in the US that’s only a 10% speed decrease. If only you had a tablet stand built into your laptop table, this minor annoyance could have been avoided!
Impress.JS Resume Project Updated And A Quick Update
~1 min read ![]()
After all the hullabaloo over my open sourcing of my Android work Wednesday night, I neglected to post up about how my impress.JS resume project has been coming along. I’ve finished the initial layout, and all the initial information pages and frames. There’s a lot of good embedded multimedia in there now (videos, the tuner, QG graphs, images, charts, etc) and I’m finally starting to refine the style a bit and add some CSS. I also added a slide discussing the open source Android update from Weds.

~2 min read ![]()
Just throwing up some statistics for posterity and new readers. Sometimes it’s helpful to give a little context to the state of my work and the site etc. These come from the advanced GitHub search box and manually going over the top user profiles by number of repositories, and I implore anyone with contrary data to let me know so I can update these. The text of the infographic image is below the jump for those of you who don’t like to load large images in posts.

After combing through the site archives, I’ve found another 11 applications from 2001 to 2007 that I wrote. I thought they could use a good home on GitHub. You can check them out on my GitHub page. They are
A Script to Open All The Sources! (I released 70 open source projects today)
~3 min read ![]()
I’ve been studying my site and app traffic for a while now, and I’ve come to a very sure conclusion. Open-sourcing an app does nothing to decrease app sales or ad traffic, but increases web traffic significantly. Therefore I’ve decided to open source everything I’ve ever done, BSD licensed so you can use it at work.
