Reality

• Moustache – I wrote this Facebook app as my introduction into the world of social apps. It has a nice Flex-based moustache chooser that puts the chosen photo on your profile page. You can choose from a wide variety of moustachioed icons from Michael Jordan to Yosemite Sam to Gandhi. You can install it here.
• Circles of Doom – A very simple blog design that I built out over a series of articles covering Inkscape, Blueprint CSS, optimization, and other fun stuff: part 1 – layout, part 2 – design, part 3 – slice & assemble, part 4 – optimize, part 5 – flex.

Ideas

• Taipan – This is easily the greatest game of all time.  I first played it on my best friend’s Apple IIc in the late 80’s. We met again as DopeWars for the Palm in the 90’s.
